Volvo has built its entire brand identity on being the right car for families. The 2027 EX60 continues that tradition in an electric package — five seats, meaningful passenger space, Volvo’s most advanced active safety system, and a suite of family-focused convenience features. For Huntington and North Shore families evaluating an electric SUV, the EX60 is purpose-designed for the use case.
Bottom Line: The EX60 seats five with genuine adult space in both rows, includes ISOFIX child seat anchors, rear power child locks, integrated booster cushion capability, and Volvo’s most comprehensive active safety system — making it one of the most thoughtfully family-engineered EVs in its class.
- Interior dimensions: 41.0 inches of front headroom, 40.6 inches rear; 41.7 inches front legroom, 37.4 inches rear
- ISOFIX anchor points at rear outer seats and power child locks on rear side doors are standard
- Integrated two-stage booster cushion available as an option on both trims (not available with Wool Blend upholstery)
Interior Space for Real Families
Rear Seat Practicality
The EX60’s rear seat dimensions — 37.4 inches of legroom and 40.6 inches of headroom — are competitive for the midsize SUV class. Two adults fit comfortably across the rear. Three adults across the rear is possible on shorter trips, though the center position is narrower.
For families with car seats, the rear outer positions offer ISOFIX anchor points and top tether anchors — the proper installation foundation for forward and rear-facing seats. The power-reclining rear seats allow adjustment for both passenger comfort and child seat positioning.
The 37.4-inch rear legroom figure is meaningful in practice: a parent at a normal seating position in the front seat will not crowd a child seat behind them, and teenagers in the rear will not have knees pressed against the front seats.
Rear Headroom and Panoramic Roof
The EX60’s fixed panoramic roof — standard on the Plus trim, with an electrochromic option — floods the rear cabin with natural light and creates a perceptibly more spacious feeling for all rear passengers. The 40.6-inch rear headroom allows most adults to sit comfortably upright without head contact with the roof.
The electrochromic roof available as an option on Plus and standard on Ultra allows the glass to tint on demand — blocking sunlight for napping children without closing a shade.
Child-Specific Safety Features
ISOFIX Child Seat Anchoring
Both rear outer seating positions include ISOFIX (LATCH) anchor points for compatible child car seats. This provides a rigid, standardized mounting point that eliminates the risk of incorrect seat belt routing for child seat installation. Top tether anchors are also included.
For Huntington families regularly installing and removing car seats across multiple family vehicles, ISOFIX compatibility is a meaningful convenience and safety feature.
Power Child Locks
The EX60 includes power-operated child locks on rear side doors — a feature that allows the driver to engage or disengage rear door child locks from the front without reaching each individual door. This is a meaningful daily convenience for parents managing rear-seat access.
Integrated Booster Cushion
The EX60 offers an optional integrated two-stage booster cushion at the rear outer seating positions. This is a built-in booster seat that folds flush when not in use and deploys when needed — eliminating the need to carry and install a separate booster for children who have outgrown a traditional car seat but still require a booster.
Note: The integrated booster cushion is not available with the Rye Tailored Wool Blend upholstery option on the Ultra trim.
Safety for Every Family Member
Active Safety Standard Features
Every EX60 includes Pilot Assist (adaptive cruise with steer assist), collision avoidance for vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, and large animals, BLIS with steer assist and cross-traffic autobrake, run-off road mitigation, and door opening alert. These features are not optional packages — they are standard on every EX60.
The door opening alert is particularly family-relevant: when a rear passenger opens a door while a cyclist or vehicle approaches, the system alerts them. This addresses one of the most common minor incidents involving children exiting vehicles.
Occupant sensing detects whether rear passengers are present — an important safety feature for preventing children or pets from being left in a vehicle in summer heat.
Interior Sensing
The driver understanding system monitors driver attentiveness — fatigue, distraction, and gaze direction. For parents managing rear-seat occupants while driving, this system provides an additional layer of oversight when attention is momentarily divided.
Climate Comfort for Families
3-Zone Climate Control
Three independent climate zones — driver, front passenger, and rear cabin — allow adults and children to set independent temperatures. This is standard on all EX60 trims. On hot Long Island summers, rear passengers (particularly children in car seats) frequently need cooler airflow than the driver.
Heated rear seats are available on the Plus via a climate package and standard on the Ultra — a welcome feature for rear passengers during North Shore winters. The heated steering wheel ensures driver comfort doesn’t come at the expense of rear warmth settings.
Air Quality System
The EX60’s standard air quality system filters and monitors cabin air — a relevant feature for families with allergies, particularly during spring pollen season on Long Island.
"Families drive the EX60 and immediately start thinking about their specific situations — where does the car seat go, what's the booster situation, how does the door opening alert work. Volvo thought through all of those things. The EX60 isn't just a good EV; it's a good family car that happens to be electric."

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the EX60 seat three children in the rear? The rear bench can seat three — two outer seats with ISOFIX anchors, one center position. Three car seats across the rear depends on the specific seat widths and is best verified in-store with your specific car seats.
Is there a third row available on the EX60? No — the EX60 is a five-passenger vehicle. For seven-passenger capacity, the Volvo EX90 is the all-electric three-row option.
Does the integrated booster cushion replace a traditional booster seat? The two-stage integrated booster cushion is designed to function as a built-in booster seat for children who have outgrown traditional car seats. Always verify the child’s weight and height against the booster’s specifications and consult your pediatrician on appropriate restraint for your child’s age and size.
Is the EX60 good in Long Island winters for families? Yes — the standard heat pump maintains cabin warmth efficiently without excessive battery drain. AWD provides added traction for winter driving. Heated front seats (standard), heated rear seats (packaged on Plus, standard on Ultra), and heated steering wheel address winter comfort for all occupants.
What does the door opening alert do specifically? It detects approaching cyclists or vehicles as a rear door opens and alerts the passenger or driver to hold the door. This is designed to prevent what is called a “dooring” incident — a common urban safety concern.
