The 2027 Volvo lineup marks one of the most significant model year transitions in the brand’s recent history — an all-new electric midsize SUV enters the lineup alongside meaningful updates to the XC90 and XC60. For Long Island buyers at Volvo Cars of Huntington, the 2027 models across all three vehicles represent Volvo’s continued push toward electrification, Scandinavian-standard safety, and premium technology that has become the defining framework for modern Volvo vehicles.
Bottom Line: The 2027 Volvo model year delivers three simultaneously strong vehicles: an all-new EX60 electric SUV on Volvo’s most advanced platform, an updated XC90 with new color and standard upgrades across trims, and a refined XC60 lineup. Together they give Huntington buyers more choice in how they electrify their next vehicle than any previous Volvo lineup.
- EX60: All-new electric midsize SUV; 800V charging; 307–322 miles of range; SPA3 platform
- XC90: Forest Lake color added; Harman Kardon now standard on Plus; start-stop now defeatable
- XC60: Continues refined mild hybrid and T8 PHEV lineup with updated content
The 2027 EX60: Volvo’s New All-Electric Midsize SUV
The most significant introduction in Volvo’s 2027 lineup is the EX60 — an all-new, purpose-built electric midsize SUV that occupies the same market position as the XC60 but with a fully electric powertrain and next-generation platform.
Platform and Architecture
The EX60 is built on Volvo’s SPA3 platform — a ground-up electric architecture developed specifically for battery-electric vehicles. It incorporates a cell-to-body structural battery that integrates the battery pack into the vehicle’s chassis structure, improving rigidity and lowering the center of gravity compared to add-on battery pack designs.
800-volt electrical architecture is the defining technical specification that differentiates the EX60 from most electric SUV competitors. Where most EVs operate at 400V, the EX60’s 800V system charges at meaningfully higher rates and sustains those rates more consistently during a charging session. With a NACS (North American Charging Standard) port, the EX60 is compatible with Tesla’s Supercharger network as well as emerging NACS-standard chargers across Long Island and beyond.
Powertrain Options
P6 (Rear-Wheel Drive): 369 horsepower, 354 lb-ft of torque, 5.7 seconds to 60 mph, up to 307 miles of EPA-estimated range from an 80 kWh usable battery. The P6 is the range-optimized configuration — less demand on the battery from a single motor allows the largest usable range figure in the EX60 lineup.
P10 (All-Wheel Drive): 503 horsepower, 524 lb-ft of torque, 4.4 seconds to 60 mph, up to 322 miles of EPA-estimated range from a 92 kWh usable battery. The larger battery pack actually delivers more range than the P6 despite the AWD system’s added energy draw — the battery’s additional capacity more than compensates.
Interior and Technology
The EX60’s cabin centers around two premium displays: a 15-inch curved OLED center screen and an 11.4-inch forward-facing driver display. Google Built-In powers the infotainment, navigation, and voice assistant — a 4-year digital service package is included. The compute core is an Nvidia Orin X processor, which provides the processing power needed for the EX60’s advanced driver assistance and over-the-air update capability.
All EX60 models include a heat pump as standard equipment — critical for preserving electric range in Long Island winters, since a heat pump extracts heat from ambient air rather than converting electrical energy to heat directly.
The 2027 XC90: Meaningful Updates to the Flagship
The 2027 XC90 carries the established platform and fundamental character of the current generation forward with targeted additions that improve the ownership experience.
Forest Lake Metallic: A New Color for Both Lineups
Forest Lake Metallic joins the XC90 color palette for 2027 — a deep teal-green with metallic depth that varies between blue-green and richer green depending on lighting. It is immediately one of the most distinctive colors available on any three-row luxury SUV, and it is available across all XC90 trim levels (Core, Plus, Ultra, Ultra Dark). Forest Lake also appears on the EX60, creating a visual color family connection across Volvo’s electric and hybrid lineups.
Harman Kardon Now Standard on Plus
On the 2027 XC90 Plus, Harman Kardon premium audio is now included as standard equipment — moved from optional to standard. This is a meaningful upgrade for Plus buyers, who previously needed to select the premium audio package separately. The Harman Kardon system provides substantially better sound quality than the standard speaker package, and its inclusion at no additional cost improves the Plus trim’s value proposition significantly.
Auto Start-Stop: Now Defeatable
The 2027 XC90 adds the ability to disable the automatic engine start-stop system — a feature that previously operated without override. Drivers who prefer the engine to remain running at stops can now configure this preference through the vehicle’s settings. The change reflects customer feedback and gives drivers more control over the vehicle’s behavior in stop-and-go Long Island traffic.
Powertrain Lineup
The XC90 continues three powertrain choices for 2027:
- B5 mild hybrid AWD: 247 horsepower, 266 lb-ft — available on Core and Plus
- B6 mild hybrid AWD: 295 horsepower, 310 lb-ft — available on Plus, Ultra, and Ultra Dark
- T8 plug-in hybrid AWD: 401 horsepower, 494 lb-ft, approximately 35 miles electric range — available on Plus, Ultra, and Ultra Dark
The T8 remains the XC90’s most powerful and technologically sophisticated choice — delivering both the highest performance and the lowest effective daily energy cost for buyers with home charging.
The 2027 XC60: Continued Excellence
The XC60 enters 2027 with a refined lineup that benefits from content updates across trim levels. The XC60 continues to be one of the best-selling vehicles in the premium midsize SUV segment — a position built on Volvo’s standard safety technology, Scandinavian interior quality, and a T8 plug-in hybrid that provides electric daily driving with gasoline backup.
For buyers who want a five-passenger vehicle with similar hybrid and safety DNA to the XC90, the XC60 remains the right-sized alternative. It is smaller than the XC90 in all three rows, handles more nimbly on North Shore roads, and is available at a lower starting price.
Which 2027 Volvo Is Right for You?
| If You Need… | Best Choice |

"I've been in this business a long time and I don't often say this — but the 2027 lineup genuinely gives us the right answer for almost every buyer. Fully electric in the EX60. Plug-in hybrid in the XC90 or XC60. Traditional mild hybrid for buyers not ready for a plug. And the safety and design quality runs through all of them."
