2027 Volvo EX60 First Look: 400 Mile Range, 670 HP, And Volvo’s Most Important EV Yet
Table of Contents
Volvo took its time entering the compact luxury EV SUV space. But now the brand finally has something positioned right between the smaller EX40 and the larger EX90. Meet the all new 2027 Volvo EX60.
This is basically the electric alternative to the XC60 many buyers have been waiting for. And honestly, Volvo needed this car badly.
The XC60 has remained one of Volvo’s best selling SUVs for years because it mixes comfort, safety, and understated luxury really well. The problem was simple. If buyers wanted a fully electric Volvo with similar size and practicality, there was no direct option.
Now there is.
The new EX60 arrives with up to 400 miles of range, charging speeds that rival premium EV leaders, and as much as 670 horsepower in top trim.
2027 Volvo EX60 Powertrain Options
Volvo will offer the EX60 with multiple battery and motor setups.
EX60 P6
The base P6 model comes with:
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Battery Pack | 83 kWh |
| Usable Battery | 80 kWh |
| Drivetrain | Rear Wheel Drive |
| Power | 369 HP |
| Torque | 354 lb ft |
| 0 to 60 MPH | 5.7 seconds |
| Top Speed | 112 MPH |
Volvo says the P6 can tow up to 3,600 pounds.
EX60 P10
The P10 increases output to 503 horsepower and adds all wheel drive. Tow capacity also jumps to 4,500 pounds.
EX60 P12
The top P12 version delivers nearly 670 horsepower and gets the biggest battery pack in the lineup. Volvo says this version can deliver close to 400 miles of range depending on wheel size.
That is serious performance territory for a family SUV. At this point Volvo is not chasing calm Scandinavian vibes anymore. It is quietly entering performance EV territory.
Fast Charging Looks Seriously Impressive
Charging speeds are one of the biggest highlights here.
The EX60 supports up to:
| Model | Max DC Fast Charging |
|---|---|
| P6 | 320 kW |
| P10 and P12 | 370 kW |
Volvo claims the EX60 can charge from 10 percent to 80 percent in roughly 16 minutes.
That puts it among the fastest charging EVs in this segment.
US models will also use the Tesla NACS charging port, which means access to Tesla Superchargers.
2027 Volvo EX60 Range
Range depends heavily on wheel size and powertrain configuration.
Estimated Range Figures
| Configuration | Estimated Range |
|---|---|
| P6 with 22 inch wheels | 295 miles |
| P10 | Up to 322 miles |
| P12 | Up to 400 miles |
Smaller wheels improve efficiency, which is becoming standard practice across modern EVs.
EX60 Exterior Design
The EX60 looks exactly like what you would expect from a modern Volvo EV.
That is actually a compliment.
It keeps Volvo’s clean Scandinavian design language without trying too hard to look futuristic. No fake aggression. No giant plastic spaceship styling. Just clean surfaces and smart proportions.
Exterior Highlights
• Thor’s Hammer LED headlights
• Closed off front grille design
• Flush aerodynamic door handles
• Standard panoramic glass roof
• Available pixel LED lighting
• 0.26 drag coefficient
• Up to 22 inch wheels
The new Aurora Silver paint especially stands out because it gives off subtle purple and lavender tones in sunlight. Volvo seems to understand that buyers in this segment want classy colors, not loud attention grabbing paint.
Dimensionally, the EX60 sits very close to the refreshed Tesla Model Y.
| Vehicle | Length |
|---|---|
| Volvo EX60 | 189.4 inches |
| Wheelbase | 116.9 inches |
It is slightly wider and lower than the XC60.
Front Trunk And Cargo Space
Volvo added a surprisingly useful front trunk.
The frunk offers around 3 cubic feet of storage, which is actually larger than the EX90’s front storage area.
Rear cargo space measures:
| Cargo Area | Capacity |
|---|---|
| Behind Rear Seats | Around 21 cubic feet |
| Seats Folded | Around 64 cubic feet |
That still trails the Tesla Model Y in maximum cargo volume, but the EX60 adds clever underfloor storage areas that improve practicality.
Interior Feels Properly Premium
This is where the EX60 separates itself from many EV rivals.
The cabin keeps Volvo’s signature minimalist design, but unlike some competitors, it still feels warm and expensive instead of cold and overly digital.
The available wool interior especially stands out.
Volvo says the wool material naturally stays cooler in summer and warmer in winter, which is why ventilated seats are not included with that option.
Interior Features
• 15 inch OLED infotainment screen
• 11.4 inch driver display
• Wireless Apple CarPlay
• Google built in with Gemini AI
• 28 speaker Bowers and Wilkins audio system
• Electrochromic panoramic roof
• Heated rear seats
• Three zone climate control
• Power reclining rear seats on Ultra trim
Thankfully, Volvo also fixed many of the software complaints owners had with earlier EV models.
The new system feels much faster and more responsive. Google Maps integration works smoothly, and voice commands appear significantly improved.
There are still some touchscreen heavy controls though. Even mirror adjustments and steering wheel adjustments happen through the screen. That may annoy traditional buyers.
Rear Seat Space
Rear passenger space looks solid for the segment.
Volvo says rear legroom measures 37.4 inches. The flat floor design also helps middle seat comfort.
One smart Volvo feature remains available too.
The integrated child booster seat returns for 2027, and now it is heated. Because apparently Swedish children also deserve luxury.
2027 Volvo EX60 Price
Volvo plans to offer the EX60 in Plus and Ultra trims.
US Pricing
| Configuration | Estimated Range |
|---|---|
| P6 with 22 inch wheels | 295 miles |
| P10 | Up to 322 miles |
| P12 | Up to 400 miles |
The Ultra trim adds roughly $6,600.
A fully equipped EX60 Ultra reaches around $66,395 including destination.
Interestingly, the price gap between the EX60 and a similarly equipped XC60 is not as large as expected.
That could make this EV a realistic upgrade path for current Volvo owners.
Final Thoughts
The 2027 Volvo EX60 feels like the EV Volvo should have launched years ago.
It has the right size, strong range figures, extremely fast charging, clean styling, and a properly premium interior. More importantly, it avoids trying too hard.
The EX60 does not scream for attention. It just quietly looks expensive and well engineered. That has always been Volvo’s thing.
And in a market full of aggressive looking electric SUVs pretending to be spaceships, that approach honestly feels refreshing.
