2027 Volvo EX60: 400 Mile Range, 670 HP and Smart Family Features
Table of Contents
The new Volvo EX60 is finally here, and this is not just an electric version of the XC60. Volvo has built this SUV from the ground up as a completely new EV. It sits between compact and midsize luxury SUVs, but Volvo clearly designed it with families in mind.
The EX60 is longer than the current XC60 and closer in size to a Hyundai Santa Fe. That extra size mainly benefits the rear seats and cargo space. Volvo says US sales should begin this summer.
2027 Volvo EX60 Power, Range and Variants
Volvo will launch the EX60 in three versions:
| Variant | Power Output | Estimated Range |
|---|---|---|
| EX60 P6 | Around 370 HP | Around 310 miles |
| EX60 P10 | More performance focused | Higher range |
| EX60 P12 | Up to 670 HP | Around 400 miles |
The headline figure here is the 400 mile range on the P12 model. That is a serious number for a luxury electric SUV. Most SUVs in this segment still struggle to cross the 350 mile mark consistently.
Volvo has not confirmed pricing yet, but the expected starting price is below $60,000 in the US market. Rivals will likely include the Audi Q6 e-tron and future electric BMW SUVs.
An EX60 Cross Country model is also coming later with raised suspension and extra ground clearance for light off road use.
Exterior Design Keeps Things Clean
Volvo has not gone wild with the design. Honestly, that is probably a good thing.
The EX60 follows Volvo’s usual clean Scandinavian styling with smooth surfaces and minimal cuts. It still gets the signature Thor’s Hammer LED DRLs and tall vertical rear tail lamps.
New Wing Grip Door Handles
The most unusual part of the exterior is the door handle setup.
Instead of regular handles, the EX60 gets what Volvo calls “Wing Grip” handles mounted near the window line. You press a rubber button and the door pops open electronically.
Volvo says this design improves aerodynamics and adds around 3 miles of extra driving range. In EV terms, engineers will happily fight over even one extra mile.
Interior Focuses on Simplicity
The cabin follows Volvo’s minimal design philosophy completely. There are barely any physical buttons inside.
You get:
- Large landscape touchscreen
- Hidden air vents
- Slim dashboard layout
- Minimal switchgear
- Calm Scandinavian design theme
The new infotainment screen is now landscape oriented instead of portrait style like older Volvo systems. Volvo also made the screen slightly curved for better visibility.
Google Based Infotainment With Gemini AI
The EX60 runs Google based software with:
- Google Maps
- Google Assistant
- Google Gemini AI integration
Drivers can ask Gemini questions naturally while driving. Volvo says it can answer location based queries and general assistance requests more naturally than traditional voice systems.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support will arrive through over the air updates after launch.
28 Speaker Sound System Sounds Wild
The higher trims get a 28 speaker audio system with speakers built into all headrests. Even the base version starts with 21 speakers.
One clever feature lets passengers adjust headrest speaker volume individually.
So yes, your kids can listen to Baby Shark in the back while you try to preserve your sanity in the front seats. Volvo engineers clearly understand parenting.
Drivers can also select sound themes inspired by locations like the Gothenburg Concert Hall in Sweden.
Smart Glass Roof and Swedish Lighting Themes
The panoramic roof can switch between transparent and opaque modes instantly using touchscreen controls.
Ambient lighting themes are inspired by Swedish nature scenes instead of random RGB nightclub colors. One mode called “Autumn Sunset” creates a soft dappled lighting effect inside the cabin.
Interesting Storage Ideas Everywhere
Volvo has done some genuinely smart packaging here.
Middle Mounted Glove Box
Instead of the traditional passenger side glove box, the EX60 places it in the center dashboard area for easier access.
Sliding Center Console
The center console storage pulls out like a drawer, and the cup holders can slide back individually.
Hidden Climate Vents
The climate vents are almost invisible within the dashboard design.
Steering Wheel Looks Different
The steering wheel uses a squared design with flat top and bottom sections.
Volvo says:
- Flat top improves visibility for the driver display
- Flat bottom creates more knee room
It definitely looks unusual at first glance, but not as strange as Tesla’s yoke experiment thankfully.
Sustainable Materials Used Across Cabin
Volvo says the EX60 uses 27 percent recycled materials, making it the company’s most sustainable vehicle so far.
Buyers can choose between:
- Wool upholstery
- Nappa leather
- Nordico synthetic leather
There is also purple dashboard trim called “Fig,” which sounds fancy enough to justify its existence.
Rear Seat Space Is Clearly a Priority
Volvo focused heavily on rear seat usability.
The SUV is longer than the XC60 mainly to improve rear passenger room and rear facing child seat space.
Rear seat highlights include:
- Integrated booster seats
- Heated rear seats
- Reclining rear seats
- Flat floor design
- Rear climate controls
- Dedicated phone pockets
- Removable rear trash bin
The integrated booster seat is especially clever because previous Volvo systems forced buyers to choose between booster seats and heated rear seats. Now you can finally have both.
Charging Details and Fast Charging Support
The EX60 becomes Volvo’s first model with a standard NACS charging port, meaning direct compatibility with Tesla Superchargers in North America.
Charging performance looks strong too.
Volvo claims:
- 10 to 80 percent charging in around 16 minutes
- Fast charging support with high output DC chargers
The charge port door also opens upward instead of sideways to help protect the connector from snow and ice. That is peak Swedish engineering logic right there.
Cargo Area Has Clever Practical Features
The rear cargo area offers decent storage, but Volvo added some thoughtful details.
Dual Underfloor Storage Access
The underfloor storage can be accessed through two separate panels. That means you can still reach part of the storage area even if large cargo blocks one section.
“Will It Fit?” Diagram
One of the coolest details is the built in cargo measurement graphic showing dimensions and examples of items that fit inside.
Honestly, IKEA shoppers are going to love this thing.
Front Trunk Gets Helpful Details Too
The front trunk includes:
- Dedicated storage space
- Maximum fill line
- Emergency triangle instruction graphic
Even the Volvo badge points toward the front trunk release latch. Tiny detail, but useful.
Final Thoughts
The 2027 Volvo EX60 looks like one of the most complete luxury electric SUVs we have seen so far.
It offers:
- Strong range figures
- Family friendly packaging
- Smart interior design
- Sustainable materials
- Tesla charging compatibility
- High performance options
Most importantly, Volvo has avoided making the EX60 feel overly futuristic just for attention. The SUV still feels practical and usable, which matters more for daily buyers than gimmicks.
If Volvo prices it correctly, the EX60 could become a strong global seller in the premium EV SUV segment.
