2027 Volvo EX60

The Story

Volvo.

Wearing handsome sheetmetal and powered by state-of-the-art battery technology, the 2027 Volvo EX60 is positioned as the brand’s mainstream EV SUV. The EX60 slots into the Volvo lineup alongside the internal-combustion XC60 crossover as its electron-sipping counterpart—similar to the way the EX40 electric SUV is a fraternal twin to the gas-powered XC40.

Rear-wheel-drive single-motor P6 models make 369 horsepower, while the all-wheel-drive P10 and P12 versions make 503 and 670 horses, respectively. All come with a large battery pack, but the P12 powertrain comes with the largest and, therefore, the longest range, which Volvo estimates to be as high as 400 miles per charge.

Expert Tip: Not quite ready to go entirely electric?. Volvo sells a plug-in hybrid version of its gas-powered XC60 SUV, which offers similar panache and plenty of power.

Compare the 2027 Volvo EX60 with the top vehicles in this segment with our new compare tool. The EX60 is a new model for Volvo, using the EX prefix the company is reserving for its EVs.

When we drove the EX60, we found both the P6 and P10 versions to be quick and responsive; we haven’t yet gotten behind the wheel of the P12, but we expect it to feel downright fast. The EX60’s handling is well-balanced and the ride is comfortable, and we liked the adjustable regenerative braking with a one-pedal driving mode.

In Comparison: The BMW iX3 is the EX60’s closest competitor, and it got to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds in its sole powertrain combination. Volvo rates the P6 model to tow 3600 pounds, while the P10 is rated to tow 4500 pounds. We don’t yet have a tow rating for the most powerful P12 model.

The P6 and P10 models are capable of charging the quickest, with Volvo estimating that they can re-juice from 10 to 80 percent in just 16 minutes when connected to the right public DC fast charger. The P12 juices up from 10 to 80 percent in a claimed 19 minutes. All EX60 models come with a NACS-style charging port, which provides access to charging via the Tesla Supercharger network.

The P6 is the most efficient version of the EX60 according to the EPA, while the P10 with the larger 22-inch wheels is the least efficient for now. We don’t yet have estimates for the P12 powertrain. MPGe stands for miles per gallon of gas equivalent, an EPA metric that estimates PHEV and EV fuel efficiency. For more information about the EX60’s fuel economy, visit the EPA’s website.

First Row: Like the rest of the Volvo lineup, the EX60 features a minimalistic, Scandinavian-inspired interior design. Much of the EX60’s controls are accessed via the infotainment touchscreen or by fussing with steering wheel buttons, which is usually less simple for drivers than automakers think it is. Nonetheless, the uncluttered nature of the EX60’s dashboard does have a certain charm. A pair of cupholders slides out from the center console with a large storage bin below that will fit a handbag or a large water bottle. A hinged storage bin opens up from under the infotainment display and features a shelf with a wireless phone charging pad.

CarMotion Daily’s Take

Wearing handsome sheetmetal and powered by state-of-the-art battery technology, the 2027 Volvo EX60 is positioned as the brand’s mainstream EV SUV. The detail bears tracking. Markets rarely reward single announcements — execution over the next two to four quarters is what closes the gap between press release and customer. How this lands depends less on the announcement itself and more on the rollout, dealer support, and after-sales story behind it. Specifics on pricing, availability, and regional rollout will tell us whether this moves from headline to delivery. Independent verification and follow-up coverage from rival outlets tend to firm up the picture within days.
