The 2027 Volvo EX60 arrives as a genuine game-changer for North Shore Suffolk County families who have been watching the EV market and waiting for the right combination of range, safety, and refinement. With up to 322 miles of EPA-estimated range, 800V fast charging, and Volvo’s most advanced safety platform ever, the EX60 makes a compelling case for families in Huntington, Northport, and Commack.
Bottom Line: The 2027 EX60 is the electric SUV that finally checks every box for Long Island family buyers — real-world range, fast charging, Scandinavian interior quality, and Volvo’s world-class safety in a genuinely fresh design.
- Two trim levels (Plus and Ultra) and two powertrains (RWD and AWD) ensure a configuration for every priority and budget
- 800V charging architecture delivers faster DC fast charging than most competitors in the segment
- Standard safety package includes Pilot Assist, 360 camera, and collision detection for vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, and large animals
Who the EX60 Is Built For
The EX60 occupies the midsize premium SUV segment — the same competitive space as the BMW iX3, Mercedes EQC, and Audi Q4 e-tron. At 189.1 inches long and 64.5 inches tall, it is a genuine five-passenger family SUV with meaningful front and rear legroom (41.7 and 37.4 inches, respectively) and headroom (41.0 and 40.6 inches).
For Huntington families, the EX60 makes the most sense as a primary vehicle for households with home charging. The 307–322 mile range easily covers the Huntington-to-Manhattan round trip of roughly 100 miles with plenty of margin, as well as North Shore daily driving patterns.
What the EX60 Is Not
The EX60 is not a three-row SUV — buyers needing a third row should look at the Volvo EX90. It also is not a plug-in hybrid — buyers who prefer a backup combustion engine should consider the Volvo XC60 T8. The EX60 is a full battery-electric vehicle.
Choosing Your Powertrain
RWD (369 hp) — The Everyday Choice
The single rear-motor configuration produces 369 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. It reaches 60 mph in 5.7 seconds and offers up to 307 miles of EPA-estimated range from an 80 kWh usable battery. For most Long Island daily driving, this is more than sufficient.
RWD is the right call for buyers primarily commuting within Suffolk County, charging at home every night, and looking for maximum range efficiency. It is a genuinely quick car — do not underestimate 369 horsepower.
AWD (503 hp) — Performance and Range in One
The dual-motor AWD system adds a front motor, increasing output to 503 horsepower and 524 lb-ft of torque while cutting the 0–60 time to 4.4 seconds. The larger 92 kWh usable battery extends range to 322 miles despite the added weight.
AWD is compelling for buyers who want maximum traction in wet or snowy conditions, regularly drive to New York City or further, or simply want the confidence of a larger battery buffer. The fact that AWD provides both more power and more range is unusual and makes it the natural upgrade for buyers on the fence.
EX60 Plus vs Ultra: The Key Differences
What Plus Includes
The Plus trim covers the complete core EX60 experience. A 15-inch curved OLED center display and 11.4-inch forward driver display come standard, along with Google Built-In for four years, Pilot Assist adaptive cruise with steer assist, 360-degree camera, Park Assist on all four sides, 3-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, Bose premium audio, inductive smartphone charging, and a heat pump.
Plus seating surfaces are Nordico — Volvo’s durable, sustainably produced synthetic material — in your choice of Charcoal, Cardamom, or Dawn. A 20-inch diamond-cut alloy wheel is standard. Ventilated Nordico seats, an electrochromic panoramic roof, and a Dark Theme exterior are available as options.
What Ultra Adds
The Ultra trim steps up to Bowers and Wilkins premium audio, High-Definition Pixel headlights (replacing Matrix-design LED on Plus), Active Chassis for adaptive ride height and damping, and Nappa leather seating surfaces (ventilated, in Charcoal, Cardamom, or Dawn) or the exclusive Rye Tailored Wool Blend.
Ultra standard equipment also includes heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, 4-way power lumbar for front seats, and a fixed electrochromic panoramic roof. The standard wheel grows to a 21-inch diamond-cut design, with optional 22-inch open-spoke wheels in silver or black.
"Families coming from a gas XC60 or XC90 are surprised by how natural the EX60 feels to drive — Volvo didn't just electrify a car, they rethought the whole experience. The range numbers are what gets people in the door; the driving feel is what closes the deal."

Safety at the Highest Level
The EX60 introduces Volvo’s most advanced active safety system to date. Exterior sensors (radars, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors) create a continuous 360-degree real-time view, while interior sensing monitors driver state and occupants. The system provides assistance only when it is actually needed — not constant alerts.
Standard on every EX60: Pilot Assist semi-autonomous driving, Blind Spot Information System with steer assist and cross-traffic autobrake, collision warning for vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, and large animals, run-off road mitigation, door opening alert, occupant sensing, driver understanding system, and multi-adaptive safety belt.
For families with rear passengers, the EX60 includes ISOFIX anchor points at the rear outer seats and power child locks on rear side doors.
Practical Considerations for Long Island Buyers
Home charging is straightforward — the EX60 supports Level 2 charging at up to 19.2 kW, meaning a full charge overnight on a properly installed 240V home charger. The NACS port gives access to Tesla Superchargers and an expanding network of compatible DC fast chargers on Long Island and throughout the Northeast.
The heat pump is standard on every EX60 — an important detail for Long Island winters. Unlike resistance heating, which drains the battery significantly in cold weather, a heat pump recovers ambient heat efficiently, preserving more range when temperatures drop in December and January.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far can the EX60 travel on a single charge for Long Island commuters? Up to 307 miles (RWD) or 322 miles (AWD) on EPA estimates. A typical Huntington-to-Manhattan round trip is roughly 100 miles, leaving substantial buffer even after a partial charge.
What charger do I need at home for the EX60? A Level 2 (240V) charger installed by a licensed electrician is the standard recommendation. The EX60’s 19.2 kW onboard charger capacity means a full overnight charge is realistic from a low state.
Does the EX60 have a heat pump for winter range? Yes — the heat pump is standard on all EX60 trims, which meaningfully improves cold-weather range compared to vehicles relying on resistive heating.
Is the EX60 bigger than the XC60? The EX60 is close in footprint to the XC60 — 189.1 inches long versus the XC60’s approximately 186 inches. Interior space is competitive; the EX60 does not offer a third row.
What colors are available on the 2027 EX60? Eight exterior colors: Crystal White Pearl, Onyx Black Metallic, Denim Blue Metallic, Vapour Grey Metallic, Sand Dune Metallic, Aurora Silver Metallic, Forest Lake Metallic, and Heather Bronze (arriving later in the model year).
