Volvo's future hinges on the all-electric 2027 EX60. This review dives into the 503-hp P10 model, exploring its performance, interior design, technology, and driving dynamics, aiming to attract current XC60 owners to the EV world and compete with established rivals.
The 2027 Volvo EX60 , with a 503-hp version P10, carries significant weight as the brand approaches its centennial. This all-electric SUV aims to replicate the success of the gas-powered XC60, Volvo 's best-selling model worldwide in 2025. The EX60 faces strong competition from established rivals such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz, alongside the appeal of more affordable internal combustion engine vehicles.
The EX60 is positioned between the compact EX30 and the larger EX90 in Volvo's electric lineup, starting around $60,000 with all-wheel drive, putting it in line with competitors like the BMW iX3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC with EQ Technology, and costing about $9,000 more than a base-engine Volvo XC60. The EX60's fate hinges on its ability to attract current XC60 owners transitioning to electric vehicles, making its design and features of paramount importance in the electric vehicle (EV) market.\From a design perspective, the EX60 introduces contemporary elements with 'wing grip' door handles placed below the window glass. The interior provides an airy feeling owing to a multifunctional center console, enhancing the sense of space and luxury, distinct from the sometimes stark minimalism of some EVs. The interior's 11.4-inch instrument panel is closer to the windshield, while the 15.0-inch touchscreen is now horizontally oriented, providing intuitive access to features. While there is an AI assistant, Google Gemini, the driver might prefer some physical buttons and knobs instead of multiple touchscreen interactions. The EX60's powerful P10 version showcases impressive acceleration, achieving 0 to 60 mph in a reported 4.4 seconds. The base P6 model offers 369 hp, reaching 60 mph in 5.7 seconds, while the P12 promises a staggering 670 hp and a 3.8-second sprint. Compared to the 2025 EX90, the P10 performance is improved, offering a quick throttle response, and the EX60 uses a revised steering system, providing a sporty feel. The EX60 presents itself as a family-oriented vehicle with an emphasis on performance and luxury.\The EX60 offers varied one-pedal driving experiences, providing the user with standard braking feel, a light regenerative braking mode, a more aggressive mode, and an automated mode that adapts to surrounding traffic conditions. Volvo’s commitment to cabin quietness is also evident in the EX60. Even with 22-inch wheels and summer tires, the test SUV maintained a hushed interior, a notable difference compared to non-PHEV XC60 models. The EX60's balance of performance, spaciousness, luxury, and technology sets it up as a compelling option in the evolving electric SUV market, with a focus on an enjoyable and user-friendly driving experience. The test vehicle suggests that Volvo has prioritized both the refinement and performance aspects of their all-electric offering, aiming to provide a compelling blend of attributes that are expected to resonate with current XC60 owners making the transition to electric vehicles, and attract new buyers looking for a premium EV experience
