Welcome everyone to the UAE CAE UPDATE. The car we are going to discuss today is the Volvo EX60. Volvo means safety—everyone knows that. To take that safety, technology, and comfort one step further, Volvo is bringing the new Volvo EX60 to the UAE in 2026. It is a mid-size electric SUV, which is specially designed with the hot weather of the Middle East, long roads, and safe family travel in mind.
The EX60 is essentially an electric version of the popular XC60, but it has not just been converted into an EV, the entire car has been rebuilt. With a new EV platform, a more powerful battery, advanced AI-based safety systems, and Volvo’s special heat-resistant engineering—all combined, the EX60 will be a very practical, safe, and long-drive friendly electric SUV.
Design & Exterior
The design of the Volvo EX60 is clean and minimalistic—a perfect reflection of Volvo’s classic Scandinavian modern style. The first thing you notice when you look at the car is its calm, premium, and uncluttered look. There are no extra lines or excessive detailing; instead, the simple shape, smooth surfaces, and balanced proportions make the car look more modern and elegant.
