Volvo EX60 Cross Country Adds Factory-Adjustable Air Suspension

Volvo’s 2028 EX60 Cross Country introduces factory-adjustable air suspension that raises the ride height by 20 mm (up to 40 mm with a button) and can lower at highway speeds for efficiency—a feature Rivian R2 and Tesla Model Y don’t offer. It packs a dual-motor 503 hp powertrain (524 lb-ft), 0–60 mph in 4.5 seconds, and about 300 miles of range from a 91 kWh usable battery (P10 AWD), with DC fast charging up to 370 kW (10–80% in ~18 minutes). EU versions use CCS2, US models use NACS. The Cross Country adds rugged styling, stainless skid plates, a Frost Green finish, and exclusive 21-inch wheels; U.S. deliveries are planned for summer 2027 as a 2028 model, while Europe is already taking pre-orders. Base EX60 starts around $60k; Cross Country pricing hasn’t been disclosed.
