Why the All-Electric 2027 Volvo EX60 Changes Everything for Mid-Size SUV Buyers

Volvo Cars has unveiled the 2027 EX60, an all-electric mid-size SUV that addresses the most common concerns about electric vehicle ownership. With a class-leading range of up to 640 kilometres and ultra-fast charging capabilities, the EX60 marks a new benchmark in making electric driving practical for families across Canada.

The five-seater EX60 enters the largest electric vehicle segment globally, combining advanced technology with Scandinavian design principles. Built on Volvo's new SPA3 electric vehicle architecture and powered by the HuginCore system, this SUV introduces innovations like cell-to-body construction, mega casting, and next-generation electric motors that enhance efficiency while reducing weight.

Range That Eliminates Anxiety

The EX60 delivers on Volvo's promise to remove barriers to electric vehicle adoption. The P12 AWD Electric variant achieves up to 640 kilometres of range on a single charge, making it the longest-range electric vehicle Volvo has ever produced. For drivers who prioritize efficiency without sacrificing capability, the P10 AWD Electric variant offers up to 514 kilometres of range.

These figures translate to real-world usability for families in Alberta. Whether navigating daily commutes or planning weekend getaways, the EX60 provides the confidence to travel without constant charging concerns. 

The vehicle's aerodynamic design features a drag coefficient of 0.26, which directly maximizes every kilowatt-hour of battery capacity. The low front profile, sloping roofline, and tapered body sides optimize airflow while maintaining Volvo's distinctive aesthetic.

Charging Speed That Matches Your Schedule

Fast charging capability transforms the EX60 ownership experience. Using a 400 kW fast charger, the vehicle can add up to 270 kilometres of range in just ten minutes. This means a quick coffee break provides enough charge for several hours of driving.

The charging system integrates with Canada's growing network of high-speed charging stations. For families accustomed to gas station stops, the EX60's charging speed offers a comparable experience without the lengthy wait times associated with earlier electric vehicles.

Technology That Thinks and Responds

The EX60 introduces Gemini, Google's AI assistant, as the first integration of its kind in a Volvo vehicle. This deeply integrated system enables natural conversations without memorizing specific commands. Drivers can ask questions, adjust settings, or request information using everyday language.

Key Technology Features:

• HuginCore system for enhanced processing and responsiveness
• Android Automotive OS with Google built-in
• 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system with headrest speakers
• Apple Music pre-installed with Dolby Atmos for Spatial Audio
• Fast-loading maps and accurate voice recognition

The user experience prioritizes responsiveness. Screens react quickly to touch inputs, maps load without delay, and the system processes voice commands with improved accuracy. These refinements create a smoother interaction between driver and vehicle.

Aerodynamic Design and Electric Efficiency

Volvo's design philosophy shines through in the EX60's exterior and interior execution. The aerodynamic profile optimizes efficiency while maintaining the brand's distinctive aesthetic. Inside, the long wheelbase and flat floor create generous space for passengers and cargo.

The rear seats offer substantial legroom, while the large luggage compartment accommodates family gear without compromise. Smart storage solutions throughout the cabin keep personal items organized and accessible.

Natural, high-end materials define the interior environment. Volvo's approach to cabin design emphasizes calm, refined spaces that reduce stress during travel. The result is a versatile interior that adapts to various needs while maintaining a premium feel.

Safety Standards Without Compromise

The EX60 meets Volvo's rigorous safety requirements, incorporating protective technologies that go beyond regulatory standards. The safety cage features boron steel reinforcement, while state-of-the-art restraints work together to provide optimal protection in various collision scenarios.

Volvo's multi-adaptive safety belt system, a world-first innovation, offers personalized protection for front-row occupants. The HuginCore system constantly monitors the vehicle's surroundings through multiple sensors, creating a comprehensive understanding of the driving environment.

Active safety features help prevent collisions before they occur. The system can detect and respond to other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and large animals. If the vehicle drifts into the oncoming lane, steering assistance guides it back to safety. These technologies work continuously to protect occupants and others on the road.

Two Variants, Multiple Possibilities

Volvo offers the EX60 in two powertrain configurations to suit different driving needs. The P12 AWD Electric delivers the maximum 640-kilometre range, while the P10 AWD Electric balances range and value with its 514-kilometre capability. Both variants feature all-wheel drive for confident handling in various conditions.

Canadian customers can begin configuring their EX60 online starting this spring. Volvo's Canadian One Price Promise provides transparency on pricing, clear content details, and precise delivery estimates. Customers can choose pre-configured vehicles for faster delivery or fully customize their EX60 according to personal preferences.

The P10 variant arrives in Canada by fall 2026, starting at $77,500 before freight, PDI, fees and taxes. Production begins this spring at Volvo's factory in Sweden, with vehicles destined for Canadian delivery following shortly after.

Cross Country Variant Adds Adventure Capability

Volvo simultaneously introduced the EX60 Cross Country, bringing the brand's exploration-focused heritage into the electric era. This variant sits 20 millimetres higher than the standard EX60, with air suspension that can add another 20 millimetres of ground clearance when needed.

The Cross Country features exclusive design elements including Frost Green paint, unique wheels, brushed stainless steel skid plates, and wider wheel arches. These touches emphasize the vehicle's capability while maintaining the refined aesthetic Volvo customers expect. Launch timing for the Cross Country variant in Canada will be announced later.

Environmental Leadership in the Electric Segment

The EX60 achieves the lowest carbon footprint of any fully electric Volvo, matching the smaller EX30 despite its larger size. This accomplishment results from the efficient SPA3 architecture, cell-to-body construction, and advanced manufacturing techniques including mega casting.

Volvo aims to become a fully electric car maker while continuously reducing its carbon footprint, with a goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. The EX60 marks a major milestone in this journey.

Experience the Future of Electric Driving

The 2027 Volvo EX60 demonstrates that electric vehicles can deliver on every measure that matters to families. Range anxiety becomes range confidence. Charging times align with natural breaks during travel. Technology enhances rather than complicates the driving experience. Safety remains uncompromised.
