X60 is the designation of 's (SL) new Coradia Nordic-model commuter trains, which replaced all the older commuter trainsets between 2006 and 2017.

The original cars for the service, called X1, were delivered between 1967 and 1975. A batch of new cars, designated X10, were delivered between 1983 and 1993. These two sets of cars made up the backbone of the fleet from 1967 until 2005. As time went on and passengers demanded more comfortable travel and more features, SL came to realize that it was time to replace the older stock completely.

In 2002, SL ordered 55 cars, with an option for 50 more, from the French manufacturer Alstom. The price for the first 55 cars is about SEK 4 billion.

Delivery of the X60 began in 2005, and as of 2006^[update] the initial order of 55 cars was expected to be completed in the spring of 2007. The X60 cars are replacing the older stock as they are delivered. Service with the X60 was inaugurated 13 August 2005 at .

In 2016 and 2017, 46 cars of the model X60B were delivered, similar to X60 but several new components. They were needed because of a need to stop usage of older X10 cars, and for increased need. The new Citybanan tunnel has stations with platform doors which are adopted to X60 and X60B. From 2017 all future cars need to have their doors on the same distance from each other as X60. X60B can not be connected to the older X60, because of new onboard computer.

The trains are manufactured in Salzgitter in Germany.

Each car is 107 metres (351 feet) long and consists of six articulated portions. Each car can seat 374 and take 530 standees. Two such cars coupled together make up a full-length train. It is easy to go through the entire car to find an empty seat, or to move if one part of the car is crowded, and the design also provides visibility through the length of the car, which SL's passenger surveys found was important in order to help passengers feel safe. SL has also specified lower backrests in the X60 to improve visibility all the way through the car.
