Volvo just dropped an electric SUV that completely cuts through the noise.

The new Volvo EX60 strips away the nonsense and just makes sense. It brings back actual physical buttons for key functions, packs insanely clever storage (including a removable boot bucket!), and offers ultra-rapid charging that can hit 10 to 80% in 16 minutes. Add in a 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system, and it’s a total game-changer.

Is this the ultimate mid-size electric SUV?

00:00So many modern cars are just full of gimmicks, but here's five ways that the Volvo EX60 just
00:05makes sense and it's so, so inspiring. And at number one, it's this cabin. They haven't just
00:10put the center touchscreen here and forgotten about design. This is Volvo we're speaking of,
00:14so there's contours all up here on the dashboard. They've really neatly integrated the driver's
00:18display here in front of me, but it's also the physical buttons and switches, including this
00:23one, this crystallized volume control with the track skip on the left and the right. No capacitive
00:27touch buttons to speak off here. And where they have put stuff through the touchscreen,
00:31they're large buttons, easy for the driver to control. And then at number two, it's this large
00:35panoramic glass roof above my head that extends all the way back. It doesn't have a sunshade,
00:40it's got something better. It has inbuilt roof shading that makes that building behind me disappear.
00:44It's perfect for the obvious stuff. And then at number three, it's all of this clever storage here
00:48inside the cabin. It's built on bespoke electric architecture, so it has a completely flat floor.
00:53It gives you storage down here that's lined so things don't rattle around. And then it lets you
00:57do things like this, a large storage bin built directly into the dashboard below the wireless
01:01phone chargers. And my favourite, the pop-out cup holders. At number four, you have some of the
01:06most clever storage I've seen in the boot of a car. This underfloor storage, heaps of space here
01:12to put your groceries. And then on the left-hand side, you have this removable bin. And I reckon
01:17that would be super handy for soccer boots, dog toys, things like that. And then finally,
01:22at number five, it's the way that the EX60 is beating range anxiety for good. This P10
01:27all-wheel drive model behind me can add up to 315 kilometers of range in just 10 minutes.
01:33The EX60, it just makes sense, but you guys let me know what you think about it in the comments.
