Volvo EX60 Arrives in Turkey in November: 810 km Range, 10-80% in 16 Minutes and Real-World Public Charging
The wait for Volvo's new electric mid-size SUV, the EX60, is almost over in Turkey. In mid-October, Volvo Turkey General Manager Alican Emiroğlu said the model will go on sale in November 2026. That is about two months later than the original September plan, and the delay comes from production issues. Turkey gets two all-wheel-drive versions: the P10 AWD and the P12 AWD.
The EX60 is the first Volvo built on the new SPA3 platform, which was designed only for electric cars. The platform brings an 800-volt architecture, batteries of up to 117 kWh and, by the manufacturer's figures, 10-80% charging in 16-19 minutes. In this article we set those figures against Turkey's real charging infrastructure. How long does it take to charge at a public station, roughly how much does it cost in TL, and how much of the 810 km do you actually get on the road?
Volvo EX60 specifications
The figures below are the ones Volvo has published for Europe. Turkey gets only the P10 and P12, not the P6 (rear-wheel drive, 83 kWh). We have kept the P6 in the table for comparison.
| Version | Battery (gross / approx. usable) | WLTP range | Power | Peak DC charging | 10-80% | AC charging |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P6 (not planned for Turkey) | 83 kWh / ~80 kWh | 611 km | 275 kW (374 hp) | ~320 kW | 16-18 min | 11 kW (22 kW optional) |
| P10 AWD | 95 kWh / ~91 kWh | 660 km | 375 kW (510 hp) | ~370 kW | 16-18 min | 11 kW (22 kW optional) |
| P12 AWD | 117 kWh / ~112 kWh | 810 km | 500 kW (680 hp) | 370-400 kW | 16-19 min | 11 kW (22 kW optional) |
A few more figures for the P12: 790 Nm of torque, 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, a drag coefficient of 0.26, 634 litres of boot space and a 58-litre front trunk. Combined WLTP consumption is 16.2 kWh/100 km for the P10 and 16.1 kWh/100 km for the P12.
Note: Volvo's country websites list slightly different peak DC power and charging times. The P12, for example, appears as 370 kW on one site and 400 kW on another, which is why we give ranges. The final Turkish spec sheet will be confirmed at launch.
Where do the 515 and 644 km figures in the Turkish press come from?
Turkish news reports quote 515 km for the P10 and 644 km for the P12. Both are well below Volvo's European WLTP figures (660 and 810 km). They most likely come from a stricter test cycle, such as the EPA cycle used in the US. That actually makes them useful: 515 and 644 km are closer than WLTP to the range you will see in real driving with a lot of motorway.
Price in Turkey: not announced yet
As of 1 November 2026, Volvo Turkey has not announced an official price for the EX60. Estimates in the press range from 4.2 million TL to 7.8 million TL and contradict each other. None of them is official, so we are not quoting a figure.
Two factors will set the price:
- The European price: In France, the P10 AWD starts at €69,500 and the P12 AWD at €75,500.
- The 160 kW special consumption tax (ÖTV) threshold: In Turkey, the ÖTV bracket for an electric car depends on motor power and the taxable base. The key line is 160 kW. With 375 kW and 500 kW, the P10 and P12 are far above it, which puts them in the upper tax brackets. This is exactly why BMW is bringing the new iX3 to Turkey with a 160 kW motor made for this market. Both EX60 versions announced so far are high-powered.
Rival prices in Turkey give some idea: the new BMW iX3 50 xDrive opened for pre-orders in February 2026 at 6,469,600 TL, and the Audi Q6 e-tron quattro is listed at 9,340,419 TL on the October 2026 price list.
How it compares with rivals
| Model | Price in Turkey | Battery | WLTP range | Peak DC | 10-80% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Volvo EX60 P10 AWD | Not announced (November) | 95 kWh | 660 km | ~370 kW | 16-18 min |
| Volvo EX60 P12 AWD | Not announced (November) | 117 kWh | 810 km | 370-400 kW | 16-19 min |
| BMW iX3 50 xDrive (Turkey, 160 kW) | 6,469,600 TL (Feb 2026 pre-order) | 108.7 kWh | 805 km | 400 kW | ~21 min |
| Audi Q6 e-tron quattro | 9,340,419 TL (Oct 2026) | ~100 kWh class | Turkish figure unclear | 270 kW | Varies by source |
On paper, the EX60 P12 matches the iX3 on range and charges a few minutes faster. The real difference is power. The Turkish iX3 was cut to 160 kW to get the tax advantage, while the EX60 is coming, for now, with 375 kW and 500 kW versions. That will very likely show in the price.
Charging: how fast and how much does the EX60 charge in Turkey?
Where does "16 minutes" actually apply?
The manufacturer's 16-19 minute figure for 10-80% is measured at an ultra-fast station that can deliver 350-400 kW, with the battery at its ideal temperature. Most public DC stations in Turkey deliver 60-180 kW. So most of the time the station, not the car, will decide how fast the EX60 charges.
Going from 10% to 80% puts about 64 kWh into the P10's battery and about 78 kWh into the P12's. Estimated times by average charging power:
| Station power | Average power (approx.) | P10 (10-80%) | P12 (10-80%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 350-400 kW (ultra-fast) | car's limit | 16-18 min | 16-19 min |
| 180 kW | ~150 kW | ~26 min | ~31 min |
| 120 kW | ~105 kW | ~37 min | ~45 min |
| 60 kW | ~58 kW | ~66 min | ~80 min |
In practice, a coffee stop at a 120-180 kW station adds about 400 km of motorway range to the P10 and about 500 km to the P12. 60 kW stations are fine during a shopping trip or a meal, but not on a long journey.
Approximate cost of DC fast charging
We used a sample public DC tariff of about 13.40 TL per kWh. Tariffs vary by operator and station. We also included roughly 5% of charging losses:
| Scenario | P10 | P12 |
|---|---|---|
| 10% → 80% DC | ~67 kWh → about 900 TL | ~82 kWh → about 1,100 TL |
| 100 km (realistic 20 kWh/100 km) | about 270 TL | about 270 TL |
AC charging time and cost
The EX60 charges at 11 kW AC as standard, with 22 kW as an option. A full 0-100% charge at an 11 kW AC station takes about 9 hours for the P10 and about 11 hours for the P12. If the car has the 22 kW onboard charger and the station really delivers 22 kW, this roughly halves to about 4.5 hours for the P10 and about 5.5 hours for the P12.
With a sample AC tariff of about 9.40 TL per kWh:
- 100 km: about 190 TL (20 kWh/100 km)
- P10 full charge (~91 kWh + losses): about 900 TL
- P12 full charge (~112 kWh + losses): about 1,100 TL
In residential, hotel and workplace car parks where the car can sit overnight, AC costs about 80 TL less per 100 km than DC.
How far does 810 km really go?
The WLTP figure of 16 kWh/100 km is achievable in town and in mild weather. At typical Turkish motorway speeds of 110-120 km/h, 20-23 kWh/100 km is more realistic for an SUV this large and heavy (the P12 has a kerb weight of 2,405 kg). With those numbers:
- P10: about 400-450 km on the motorway, around 500 km in mixed driving
- P12: about 490-560 km on the motorway, over 600 km in mixed driving
In winter, cabin heating and a cold battery can cut these figures by another 15-25%. Even so, the P12 looks capable of covering Istanbul-Ankara (~450 km) on a single charge, even in winter.
Who is it for?
- Frequent long-distance drivers: The 800-volt architecture and charging above 370 kW will become more valuable as ultra-fast stations spread. Even today, a half-hour stop at a 180 kW station is enough.
- Drivers without home charging: The big battery makes it easy to get by on one or two public charging sessions a week. But for this kind of use, most of the cost comes from the DC tariff. Finding a car park with AC charging lowers the cost per 100 km noticeably.
- Price-focused buyers: It is hard to decide before the price is out. Because of the 160 kW threshold, the EX60 will very likely sit at the top of the premium segment unless a lower-powered version is made for Turkey.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does the Volvo EX60 go on sale in Turkey?
In November 2026, according to Volvo Turkey. The model was originally due in September but was pushed back about two months because of production issues. The P10 AWD and P12 AWD versions will be sold in Turkey.
How much does the Volvo EX60 cost in Turkey?
As of 1 November 2026, no official price has been announced, and press estimates contradict each other. In Europe, the P10 starts at €69,500 and the P12 at €75,500. The 160 kW ÖTV threshold will have a major effect on the Turkish price.
How long does the EX60 take to charge?
According to Volvo, 10-80% takes 16-19 minutes at a 350-400 kW ultra-fast station. At the 120-180 kW stations common in Turkey, it takes about 26-45 minutes. A full charge at an 11 kW AC station takes about 9 hours for the P10 and about 11 hours for the P12.
How much does it cost to charge the EX60 at a public station?
With sample tariffs (DC ~13.40 TL/kWh, AC ~9.40 TL/kWh), a 10-80% DC charge costs about 900 TL for the P10 and about 1,100 TL for the P12. With realistic consumption, 100 km costs about 270 TL on DC and about 190 TL on AC.
Conclusion
With its big battery and 800-volt charging, the Volvo EX60 is set to be one of the most capable long-distance electric SUVs on sale in Turkey. For now, though, its 16-minute charging promise means 25-45 minutes in Turkey, and the price still to be announced will largely decide how well it does. If you are planning a long trip in an EX60, you can add ADZE Charge stations to your route, with DC and AC charge points at more than 50 locations across Turkey.
