2027 Volvo EX60 FAQ: Range, Charging, Trims, and Features Explained

The 2027 Volvo EX60 delivers up to 330 miles of range on an 800V platform with NACS charging and three powertrain options. That is a meaningful step beyond most mid-size electric SUVs, with up to 117 kWh of usable battery capacity on the top P12 configuration. This page answers the most common questions shoppers ask, with current inventory at Volvo Cars Hilton Head in Bluffton, SC.

Range, Charging, and Battery

How far can the 2027 Volvo EX60 go on a single charge?

Up to 330 miles on the P6 single-rear-motor configuration with an 80 kWh usable battery. The P10 AWD uses a 95 kWh pack, and the P12 AWD uses a 117 kWh pack. Range on the AWD variants will differ from the RWD figure; specific EPA numbers for each variant should be confirmed at the time of purchase.

What charging standard does the EX60 use?

The EX60 uses a NACS (Native North American Charging Standard) port, which is now the dominant standard at public fast-charging networks across the country. A J1772-to-NACS AC adapter is included so you can use any Level 1 (120V) or Level 2 (240V) charger as well.

How fast does the EX60 charge?

The EX60 uses an 800V architecture that enables ultra-fast DC charging. A 400V/DC booster is integrated, so the car can also charge at 400V stations at up to 120 kW, giving you flexibility across a wider range of public chargers. For home charging, the 19.2 kW onboard charger handles Level 2 AC charging at a rate that is faster than most EVs in this segment.

What is Breathe Charge software?

Breathe Charge is a patented Volvo charging technology that reduces DC charging time from 10 to 80 percent by up to 15 percent compared to a standard charging curve. The improvement is most noticeable in cold weather, and it also reduces the energy needed for battery preconditioning before a charging session.

Does the EX60 support bi-directional charging?

Yes. The EX60 is equipped with bi-directional charging capability, which allows the battery to power home appliances or balance energy use through a compatible bi-directional wallbox. A Volvo vehicle-to-load (V2L) adapter can also power devices directly. Additional equipment is required, and availability depends on market implementation.

Does the EX60 have Plug & Charge?

Yes. Plug & Charge allows the car to authenticate automatically at compatible public stations, so there is no need for an app, card, or any other method. You plug in and charging starts. The car must be activated for Plug & Charge and linked to a compatible charging account. Availability varies by charging provider.

Powertrains, Performance, and Trims

What powertrain options does the 2027 EX60 offer?

Three options are available: the P6 single rear motor (80 kWh, RWD), the P10 dual motor (95 kWh, AWD), and the P12 dual motor (117 kWh, AWD). The P6 and P10 are offered in Plus and Ultra trims. P12 availability by trim should be confirmed with Volvo Cars Hilton Head.

How much horsepower does the EX60 produce?

369 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque on the AWD dual-motor configuration. Power output on the P6 single-motor variant should be confirmed at time of purchase.

What trim levels are available?

The EX60 is offered in Plus and Ultra trims across the P6 and P10 powertrains. The P6 Plus and P6 Ultra cover the RWD lineup, and the P10 AWD Plus and P10 AWD Ultra cover the dual-motor AWD lineup.

What is the difference between Plus and Ultra?

Both trims are well-equipped, but the Ultra adds meaningful upgrades. The 21-speaker Bose Premium Sound system in Plus is replaced by a 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins system in Ultra. The fixed panoramic moonroof on Plus becomes an electrochromic dimmable panoramic roof on Ultra. The Ultra also adds high-definition pixel headlights (25,600 pixels per module), Nappa leather with ventilated front seats, power reclinable rear seat backrests, heated rear seats, and a 4-way power lumbar system.

Can the EX60 tow?

Yes. The EX60 is rated to tow up to 4,500 lbs, which is enough for a small boat, a lightweight camper, or a pair of personal watercraft, a useful spec for coastal driving around Bluffton and the Lowcountry.

What is the ground clearance?

7.2 inches. The EX60 also includes an off-road drive mode with hill descent control, so it handles unpaved roads and boat ramps with reasonable composure.

Technology and Infotainment

What screen setup does the EX60 have?

The EX60 uses a 15-inch OLED landscape touchscreen as the center display, paired with an 11.4-inch digital instrument cluster positioned closer to the windshield. Both use OLED technology with anti-reflex coatings for clear visibility in direct sunlight.

What is Google Built-in and how does it work?

Google Built-in means Google Maps, Google Play Store, and the Google Gemini AI assistant are integrated natively into the car, with no phone required. You can speak naturally to Gemini to set a destination, adjust climate, send a message, or control connected home devices. Google services are included for four years from purchase; terms apply after that period.

Google Built-in for cars

Does the EX60 have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto?

Yes, both wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto are supported. These features will be enabled via an over-the-air update after launch.

What audio system does the EX60 come with?

The Plus trim includes a 21-speaker Bose Premium Sound system. The Ultra trim steps up to a 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins system with Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio and 1,820 watts of total power. The Bowers & Wilkins setup was tuned in partnership between Volvo and Bowers & Wilkins specifically for this cabin.

What is the HuginCore computing system?

HuginCore is the EX60's advanced onboard computing platform, which combines an Nvidia Orin X core computer with a User Experience Computer. It handles sensor fusion for safety systems, processes OTA updates, and supports the AI-driven infotainment experience. It also enables continuous improvement of driver support features as Volvo collects real-world data.

Does the EX60 receive over-the-air updates?

Yes. OTA updates are delivered wirelessly and can add new features, refine existing ones, or update safety and driver support systems without a dealership visit. Several features noted in the spec sheet, including HD Radio, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, and remote cabin pre-cleaning, will arrive via OTA after launch.

What is active noise cancellation on the EX60?

The EX60 is the first Volvo to feature active noise cancellation. The system uses microphones and speakers to generate opposing sound waves that neutralize road and wind noise in the cabin, producing a quieter ride than passive insulation alone can achieve.

Safety Features

What driver assistance systems come standard?

Every EX60 includes Pilot Assist semi-autonomous highway driving, forward collision warning with pedestrian and bicyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, emergency steering assist, adaptive cruise control, lane departure steering assist, blind spot intervention, front and rear cross-traffic alert with automatic braking, road-sign recognition, a driver-attention monitor, and a 360-degree parking camera. That is a comprehensive suite at every trim level.

What is the multi-adaptive safety belt?

The multi-adaptive front safety belt is a Volvo world-first. Unlike a conventional load limiter, this system reads data from the exterior and interior sensors, then the core computer determines the optimal restraining force for each occupant based on collision direction, speed, and seat position. The system is designed to improve over time through OTA updates.

Does the EX60 have occupant sensing?

Yes. Roof-mounted interior radars and a camera can detect movement throughout the cabin with millimeter precision, including a child's breathing. If someone is left in the car unintentionally, the system prevents the doors from locking and can keep the climate system running. It also detects unbelted occupants and reminds them to buckle up, and it monitors belt positioning across the chest.

What is Connected Safety?

Connected Safety is a cloud-based feature that shares real-time hazard information between connected Volvo vehicles. If one EX60 detects a slippery road, an accident with a deployed airbag, or a large animal nearby, that information is transmitted to nearby connected Volvos to give those drivers more reaction time. User activation and consent are required.

Interior, Cargo, and Practicality

How much cargo space does the EX60 have?

With all seats up, the EX60 offers 18.5 cu ft of cargo space behind the second row. Fold the rear seats and that grows to 64.3 cu ft. There is also a 2.1 cu ft frunk under the hood for cables, fluid, and the tire repair kit, keeping the main cargo area clear.

What is the interior like for rear passengers?

Rear passengers get 37.4 inches of leg room, 40.6 inches of head room (with the panoramic roof), and 54.1 inches of shoulder room. The three-split 40/20/40 rear seat folds with a single button in the cargo area. Heated rear seats and power reclinable backrests are available on Ultra.

What seating materials are available?

The Plus trim uses Nordico upholstery, which is made from bio-attributed PVC with a 100-percent recycled polyester textile backing. The Ultra trim uses Nappa leather with ventilated front seats; the leather is chrome-free and sourced from an LWG-certified supplier.

Does the EX60 have a panoramic roof?

Yes. The Plus trim includes a fixed panoramic glass roof with acoustic laminated glass that filters UV radiation. The Ultra trim upgrades to an electrochromic dimmable panoramic roof that switches from clear to opaque at the touch of a button in the center display for glare reduction and added privacy.

Can the EX60 fit a roof rack?

Yes. The EX60 has integrated roof rack fixing points accessible through covers in the glass roof. This lets you mount load accessories without drilling into the body.

Buying and Ownership

Volvo Cars Hilton Head in Bluffton, SC carries the EX60. You can check current availability online or schedule a test drive directly. The team there can walk you through all four trim configurations and available colors in person.

How do I maintain a Volvo EX60?

Because the EX60 is fully electric, there is no engine oil, no transmission fluid, and no traditional exhaust system to service. Maintenance focuses on tire rotations, brake inspections (aided by the fact that regenerative braking reduces pad wear), cabin air filter replacement, and software updates delivered OTA. Your Volvo dealer will provide a recommended service schedule at delivery.

Does the EX60 come with remote access features?

Yes. The Volvo Cars app lets you remotely pre-condition the cabin, control charging schedules, lock or unlock doors, and monitor trip data from your phone.
