A New Chapter for Volvo EVs

The 2027 Volvo EX60 arrives as the brand's latest fully electric SUV, hitting the market with a blend of technical innovation and practical design. By achieving price parity with the existing plug-in hybrid XC60, Volvo has set a new benchmark for luxury crossovers, offering a vehicle that excels in range, charging efficiency, and everyday usability.

Perhaps the best symbol of its thoughtful nature is a small, removable “crab bucket” tucked beneath the split-folding load floor. It is a quirky, practical touch that reflects the brand's focus on down-to-earth functionality, signaling that Volvo is hitting its stride in the electric era.


Platform and Powertrain Innovations

The EX60 is built on the all-new SPA3 platform, which will serve as the foundation for future Volvo and Polestar electric models. The vehicle utilizes an 800-volt architecture with a cell-to-body construction, integrating battery cells directly into the floor structure to reduce weight and complexity.

  • P12 (Future Variant): Expected to deliver 670 horsepower with an impressive range of 400 miles (640 km) using a 117.0-kWh battery pack.
  • P10 (Launch Variant): Features a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup producing 503 horsepower, with a range of 322 miles (514 km).
  • P6 (Rear-Wheel Drive): Offers a balanced 369 horsepower and a 307-mile range, utilizing an 83.0-kWh battery.

Charging performance is equally notable, with peak rates of up to 370 kW, allowing for a 10 to 80 percent charge in approximately 16 minutes under ideal conditions.


Design and Interior Comfort

The EX60 retains the familiar Volvo aesthetic but introduces subtle aerodynamic refinements, achieving a 0.265 drag coefficient. While the exterior remains classic, the interior emphasizes a minimalist approach, stripping away most physical buttons in favor of a large 15.1-inch infotainment screen powered by the new HuginCore system.

The cabin experience is defined by:

«A spacious, supportive seating arrangement that maintains long-distance comfort, complemented by high-quality materials like optional tailored wool and premium Nappa leather.»

Practicality remains a priority, evidenced by repositioned gloveboxes for easier access and a sliding cupholder tray system. The brand’s commitment to safety is also evident in the debut of new multi-adaptive seatbelts, which automatically adjust tension based on the occupant's specific physique.


Market Position and Value

In the U.S. market, the EX60 starts at $59,795 for the P6 RWD Plus trim, making it a highly attractive proposition compared to traditional luxury combustion models. With the P10 AWD starting at $62,145, Volvo has managed to bridge the gap between internal combustion and electric ownership, making the transition significantly more accessible for family-oriented buyers.

The 2027 Volvo EX60 proves that the brand has evolved beyond the experimental phase of its earlier electric efforts. It is a polished, capable, and well-priced vehicle that reinforces Volvo’s reputation for safety and reliability while embracing a fully electrified future.
