The 2027 Volvo EX60 is Volvo's first vehicle built on the 800-volt SPA3 born-electric platform, delivering up to 330 miles of EPA-estimated range. It replaces no prior EX60 generation, this is an all-new nameplate, not a refresh. Read on for trims, powertrain specs, and tech details, then check current inventory at Volvo Cars Hilton Head.
The EX60 is not a carry-over update. It is Volvo's first production vehicle engineered from the ground up on the SPA3 electric platform, which runs on an 800-volt electrical architecture. That voltage level is significant: it enables a 19.2 kW onboard charger and DC fast charging that can add meaningful range in minutes.
Several features on the EX60 are genuinely new to the industry, not just new to Volvo. The multi-adaptive safety belt is a world first. Using data from interior and exterior sensors, the front safety belts adjust tension and load-limiting force based on each occupant's size, seating position, and the specific characteristics of a collision. That system can also improve over time through over-the-air software updates.
Structurally, the EX60 uses megacasting, which forms large sections of the body from single pieces of aluminum, replacing hundreds of smaller stamped components. The battery is integrated directly into the body structure using cell-to-body construction, which lowers overall weight, improves rigidity, and recovers interior space.
The HuginCore central computing platform, powered by NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8255, enables the EX60 to process up to 254 trillion operations per second. That computing capacity supports Google Gemini AI, real-time safety processing, and ongoing over-the-air feature updates.

The 2027 EX60 launches in the U.S. with four trims across two powertrain options. All trims include the standard safety suite, Google Built-in with Gemini, the 15-inch OLED touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless phone charging, and heated power-adjustable front seats.
The entry point into the EX60 lineup. It pairs the single rear-motor P6 powertrain with RWD and the 80 kWh battery. Standard features include the fixed panoramic moonroof, 21-speaker Bose Premium Sound System, digital key capability, hands-free power liftgate, 360-degree parking camera, and Pilot Assist semi-autonomous highway driving.
Upgrades the P6 powertrain with the electrochromic dimmable panoramic roof (replacing the fixed glass roof), the 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins High-Fidelity Sound System with Dolby Atmos, Nappa leather upholstery with ventilated front seats, power reclinable rear seat backrests, power 4-way lumbar support, the Bowers & Wilkins dashboard tweeter-on-top, and the crystal media control scroll wheel. The Ultra also adds the dark exterior design theme option and high-level interior illumination with the forest light projection.
Shares the Plus content list with the P6 Plus but steps up to the dual-motor AWD powertrain and the 95 kWh battery. AWD adds meaningful traction for wet coastal roads around the Bluffton and Hilton Head area during storm season.
Combines the dual-motor AWD powertrain with the full Ultra feature set: Bowers & Wilkins audio, electrochromic roof, ventilated Nappa leather seats, and all Ultra-exclusive interior and exterior options.
The P12 AWD powertrain, with a 117 kWh battery, is confirmed as a separate variant coming at a later date. Official EPA range figures and pricing for the P12 are not yet released.
The EX60 uses a single-speed direct-drive electric transmission on all variants. Two powertrain configurations are currently available for U.S. delivery:
80 kWh battery. EPA-estimated range up to 307 miles on 20-inch wheels.
95 kWh battery. EPA-estimated range up to 330 miles on 20-inch wheels.
The 800-volt SPA3 architecture supports DC fast charging. Volvo states a 10-to-80-percent charge in approximately 16 minutes under optimal conditions, depending on powertrain and charger output. The 19.2 kW onboard charger supports fast home charging via a Level 2 wallbox.
All EX60 variants include a native NACS (North American Charging Standard) charging port. That gives direct access to more than 29,000 Tesla Supercharger NACS fast chargers across North America with no adapter required. Total public access covers more than 120,000 charging points in the U.S.
Bi-directional charging capability is built in, enabling the EX60 to export power back to a home or external device when infrastructure supports it.
Towing capacity reaches 4,500 lbs, which is one of the higher figures in the midsize electric SUV segment.
The active chassis option (adaptive dampers) adjusts each damper up to 500 times per second. One-pedal drive with adjustable regenerative braking strength is standard across all trims.
The EX60 seats five across two rows. Front legroom measures 41.7 inches and rear legroom measures 37.4 inches. The rear shoulder room of 54.1 inches and front shoulder room of 56.6 inches are on par with mainstream midsize SUV competitors.
Cargo behind the second row measures 18.5 cubic feet (per the official spec sheet) with seats up, expanding to 64.3 cubic feet with all rows folded. A 40/20/40-split rear seat lets occupants carry long items such as skis while keeping passenger seats in use. A 2.1-cubic-foot frunk adds sealed storage for items like the tire repair kit, freeing the rear cargo area.
The front seats are power-adjustable with heated cushions standard on all trims. Ultra trims add ventilation via built-in fans. A tri-zone automatic climate control system manages temperature independently for driver, front passenger, and rear passengers.
Active noise cancellation is standard. Laminated acoustic side windows further reduce wind and road noise, which matters on longer highway runs along I-95 between Bluffton and Savannah.
Available integrated booster cushions in the outer second-row seats fold flush when not in use and can be optioned with heating, a useful feature for families.
The interior design uses a two-spoke flat-top steering wheel, long horizontal dashboard lines, and Scandinavian material choices including weathered grey ash wood, dark rubus fused ash wood, and the tailored textile dashboard finish on Ultra. Upholstery options include Nordico (bio-attributed PVC with recycled polyester backing) and Nappa leather (chrome-free tanned, LWG-certified). Ambient lighting with a forest light projection adds atmosphere at night.
The EX60 centers its interior around a 15-inch horizontal OLED touchscreen paired with an 11.4-inch digital instrument cluster. Both run on the HuginCore computing platform.
Google Built-in with Gemini AI is embedded in the vehicle. Gemini responds to natural spoken language without requiring specific command phrases. It handles navigation via Google Maps (with real-time traffic and EV range integration), media, climate controls, calls, texts, and Google Play app access. Google services are included for four years; renewal terms apply after that period.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported alongside Google Built-in. Wireless phone charging (15W) sits under the center display. Four USB-C ports (18W and 60W outputs) serve all seating positions.
Sound system options are well above segment average. Plus trims include the 21-speaker, 1,200-watt Bose Premium Sound System with 3D surround processing and the Bose Perceptual Sound Rendering tuning. Ultra trims include the 28-speaker, 1,820-watt Bowers & Wilkins High-Fidelity system with Dolby Atmos spatial audio, Dirac Unison tuning, and three virtual room modes.
Over-the-air updates via HuginCore allow Volvo to push new features and safety improvements remotely. The Breathe Charge software monitors battery health and optimizes fast-charging behavior. The Range Assistant app provides real-time efficiency coaching.
Digital key capability lets a compatible iPhone, Apple Watch, or Android UWB device unlock and start the vehicle without removing the phone from a bag or pocket. An NFC smart card key is also included as a backup.
The EX60's standard safety suite is comprehensive. Pilot Assist handles semi-autonomous highway driving, maintaining lane position and following distance without requiring constant driver input. It is paired with adaptive cruise control and lane change assist.
Additional standard systems:
The multi-adaptive safety belt is the EX60's most distinctive safety innovation. Each front belt uses sensor data and the HuginCore computer to apply optimized restraining force based on the occupant's size and the collision's speed and direction. The system is designed to improve with over-the-air updates over time, a first for any production vehicle.
Structural safety features include SIPS side-impact protection, inflatable curtains from the roofline to the second row, knee airbags for driver and front passenger, and a dedicated battery safety cage. The high-voltage battery carries an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty.
The 2027 EX60 has no prior year equivalent. There was no 2026 EX60. Shoppers coming from a Volvo XC60 T8 plug-in hybrid will find the EX60 broadly similar in external footprint (189.1 inches long vs. the XC60's 184.7 inches) but purpose-built as a battery-electric vehicle rather than a conversion. The structural differences, including cell-to-body battery integration and megacast aluminum body sections, are only possible because the SPA3 platform was designed without an internal combustion engine from the start.
The EX60 competes directly with the BMW iX3, Mercedes EQC, and Audi Q4 e-tron in the premium midsize electric SUV space. Its 330-mile EPA range (P10 AWD) and 4,500-lb tow rating sit at the practical ceiling of that segment. Buyers who want AWD capability for trips from Bluffton across coastal South Carolina and beyond will find the P10 trims the right starting point. Buyers who prioritize maximum daily range efficiency may prefer the P6 with RWD, where reduced drivetrain drag supports the platform's efficiency potential.
The EX60 marks a genuine architectural shift for Volvo, 800-volt charging, world-first adaptive safety belts, a born-electric structure, and 330 miles of EPA range in a midsize SUV footprint. Volvo Cars Hilton Head serves buyers across Bluffton and the surrounding Lowcountry, and EX60 inventory is forming now.
