New Volvo EX60 promises 503-mile electric range

• New mid-size electric SUV due for reveal on January 21
• Volvo confirms 503-mile batery range
• Ultra-fast charging promised

Volvo's new mid-size electric SUV, the Volvo EX60, will be revealed towards the end of this month, but to whet our appetite the Swedish manufacturer has announced that it will have an official battery range of more than 500 miles, making it the rangiest electric Volvo yet. 

Promising up to 503 miles on a full charge, the new Volvo EX60 can, in theory at least, drive from Land's End to Gretna Green in one go. Or from Paris to Amsterdam. Or from Los Angeles to San Francisco.

As well as a big range, the new Volvo promising very speedy charging, too. Built on 800V architecture, it should recoup more than 200 miles of charge in less than ten minutes when using a 400W charger.

When it's release later this year the new Volvo EX60 will compete with the likes of the BMW iX3 and the Mercedes-Benz GLC, both of which have impressive battery ranges but lag behind the Volvo on paper.

The EX60 is built on a platform which Volvo says is its most advanced electric car architecture so far and integrates the battery directly into the structure of the car. It's also built in a way that saves weight, designed to further improves range.

Looks-wise, the new Volvo looks to fit in with the latest batch of its electric cars, with slim headlights and pixel-like rear lights.
