Volvo EX60 Electric SUV Lands in the U.S. at $59,795—Can It Turn Things Around?

Volvo took the wraps off its new EX60 midsize electric SUV in New York this week, opening orders for the 2027 model at a base price of $59,795 (that includes the $1,395 destination fee). The company says the top trim will deliver up to 400 miles of range. On paper, those specs look solid for a premium EV in a crowded field. But the timing is tricky. Volvo has stumbled lately: the EX30 was pulled from the U.S. market in March, and the flagship EX90 had a rocky first year. The EX60—which replaces the popular gas-powered XC60 as the brand's volume leader—has a lot riding on it. I called it a make-or-break moment back in January, and that hasn't changed. What's new is that we now have concrete numbers, and they're encouraging. The EX60 rides on Volvo's dedicated SPA3 electric platform, featuring an 800-volt system that can add 155 miles of range in 10 minutes on a 320-kilowatt charger. The top-tier P12 AWD version promises 400 miles, enough to go from New York to Montreal without stopping. The base P6 rear-drive gets 307 miles, and the P10 AWD hits 322. All figures are estimates pending EPA certification. Crucially, the EX60 is Volvo's first model with a native NACS port, giving drivers direct access to Tesla's Supercharger network without an adapter. CCS stations will still require a dongle, but it's a real advantage as the industry shifts. Pricing undercuts rivals like the BMW iX3 ($62,850), Audi Q6 e-tron ($65,795), and the upcoming Mercedes-Benz GLC. The entry P6 Plus comes with a 21-speaker Bose system and Volvo's Pilot Assist safety suite. The P6 Ultra adds ventilated Nappa leather, a 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins setup, and an electrochromic roof. The P10 AWD versions start at $62,145 and $68,745. The 670-horsepower P12 pricing is still TBD. Orders open now at volvocars.com, with first deliveries later this year.
