2027 Volvo EX60 A New Contender in the Electric SUV Segment

The 2027 Volvo EX60 mid-size electric crossover has officially entered the United States market, presenting a significant new option for buyers in the premium electric vehicle space. With a starting price of $59,795, the all-electric EX60 is positioned to be more affordable than its plug-in hybrid counterpart, the XC60 PHEV, while offering a substantially greater all-electric driving range.

Powertrain and Performance

The EX60 launches with two primary configurations, giving buyers a choice between rear-wheel-drive efficiency and dual-motor all-wheel-drive performance.

EX60 launch powertrain options

Model	Drivetrain	Output
P6 Plus	Single-motor rear-wheel drive	369 hp
P10 AWD	Dual-motor all-wheel drive	503 hp
P12 AWD	Planned future variant	More powerful than P10 AWD

Range and Charging Capabilities

Range and charging are central selling points for the EX60, with all launch versions estimated to exceed 300 miles and fast-charging performance aimed at reducing stop times.

How the EX60 charging performance stands out

1

Start with a 300-plus-mile range

All launch versions are estimated to deliver more than 300 miles, while the base P6 is rated at 307 miles on a full charge.

2

Use high-speed DC fast charging

The EX60 uses the NACS connector and supports high-output DC fast charging at compatible stations.

3

Recover range quickly

The P10 AWD can charge at up to 370 kW, adding about 165 miles in 10 minutes.

4

Reach 80% in about 16 minutes

A 10-to-80% session for both initial trims takes roughly 16 minutes at a compatible fast charger.

Interior Features and Technology

Inside, the EX60 is equipped with a suite of modern technologies centered around a 15-inch OLED vertical touchscreen. This system runs Volvo's latest Google-based infotainment software, which includes the Gemini AI assistant. Standard features include a 21-speaker Bose sound system and Volvo's comprehensive Safe Space Technology suite of safety systems. An available Ultra trim adds luxury appointments such as ventilated Nappa leather upholstery, an upgraded 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system, and a dimmable panoramic glass roof.

Market Positioning and Competition

The EX60 enters a crowded premium EV field by pairing Volvo's safety and design identity with competitive charging and performance credentials.

The EX60 enters a highly competitive segment. While its pricing undercuts the XC60 PHEV, it faces strong rivals. The BMW iX3, for instance, offers a higher EPA-rated range of 434 miles at a comparable starting price. Other notable competitors include the more affordable Tesla Model Y and the forthcoming Mercedes-Benz GLC EV. The EX60's market strategy appears to focus on offering a compelling blend of Volvo's signature safety and design with competitive performance and fast-charging technology.
