The Volvo EX60 Is a Totally New All-Electric Luxury SUV

TL;DR

The 2027 Volvo EX60 is a brand-new midsize electric luxury SUV offering up to 670hp, 400 miles of range, and family-focused Swedish minimalist design.

Key Points

  • 1.The EX60 is a completely new vehicle, not an electrified XC60. It is 4 inches longer than the XC60, closer in size to a Hyundai Santa Fe, with pricing expected to start in the mid-to-high $50,000s — competitive with the BMW iX3 and Audi Q6.
  • 2.Three performance trims span from 370hp to 670hp. The P6, P10, and P12 trims offer roughly 310 to 400 miles of EPA-estimated range, with the P12's 400-mile figure being notable for a midsize SUV. A Cross Country off-road variant with air suspension arrives in 2028.
  • 3.Wing-grip door handles eliminate traditional pulls for aerodynamic gain. Mounted where the door meets the window base, a rubber button electronically pops the door open — Volvo claims this design adds approximately 3 miles of additional range over conventional handles.
  • 4.The landscape-oriented, slightly convex center screen runs a full Google ecosystem. Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Gemini AI are integrated, allowing conversational voice queries. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will roll out over-the-air near the US launch.
  • 5.The audio system launches with 21 or 28 speakers, with per-headrest volume control. Rear headrest speakers can be independently adjusted so front passengers aren't subjected to children's content, and sound profiles include a replication of the Gothenburg Concert Hall.
  • 6.Minimalism defines the interior: no traditional climate vents, no glove box on the passenger side, and almost no physical buttons. The center-mounted glove box improves passenger legroom and simplifies left/right-hand drive engineering. Heated seats require a slider in the infotainment screen rather than a dedicated button.
  • 7.Family-focused rear features include an integrated booster seat, now combinable with heated rear seats for the first time. The flat electric floor makes the center rear seat genuinely usable, and a removable center-console trash bin is designed for families with children. Rear seats also power-recline.
  • 8.The EX60 is the first Volvo with a standard NACS (Tesla) charge port and charges 10–80% in roughly 16 minutes. The charge door opens manually to avoid freezing in icy conditions, faces upward to shield cables from snow, and the cargo area includes a printed 'Will it fit?' dimension guide with object illustrations.
