Volvo Car Portugal will promote the Volvo EX60 Circuit between September 11 and October 1, a national tour with 22 sessions aimed at introducing the brand's new 100% electric SUV and allowing free test drives. The initiative comes with the arrival of the first units of the model to the Portuguese market and aims to provide interested parties with direct contact with the vehicle, its technologies, and the characteristics of electric mobility in daily life.

Each session covers topics such as range, charging, technology, and usage costs, followed by question and answer moments and the opportunity to test drive the car. The sessions are led by Ricardo Oliveira, founder of World Shopper and the Viver Elétrico project, in a Breakfast format at 09:00 or Sunset at 17:00, lasting approximately 30 minutes. Participation is free, subject to prior registration.

The EX60 claims a range of up to 810 kilometers in the P12 AWD Electric version, 660 kilometers in the P10 AWD, and 620 kilometers in the P6, with the P6 and P10 versions already having arrived in Portugal, followed later by the P12. The model is available from 50,650 euros, plus VAT, and is based on the SPA3 electric platform, incorporating the HuginCore central system, Google Gemini, and a multiadaptive seatbelt that adjusts protection to the occupant's characteristics.

The circuit starts on September 11 in Porto and passes through cities such as Santarém, Castelo Branco, Viseu, Vila Real, Guimarães, Braga, Leiria, Coimbra, Lisbon, Setúbal, and Évora. The last session is scheduled for October 1, at 17:00, at Pontautos, in Faro.
