2027 Volvo EX60: Electric Range, AI Intelligence, and Advanced Safety

Volvo Cars introduces the all-new 2027 EX60, a mid-size electric SUV built to address range concerns while delivering advanced technology and safety features. Revealed globally in January 2026, the EX60 offers up to 640 kilometres of estimated range, an AI-powered assistant, and world-first safety innovations. For Ontario drivers seeking an electric SUV that balances practicality with Scandinavian design, the EX60 provides a clear answer to common EV concerns.

Range That Addresses EV Anxiety

The 2027 EX60 tackles one of the biggest barriers to electric vehicle adoption - range limitations. The P12 AWD Electric variant delivers an estimated range of up to 640 kilometres on a single charge, making it the longest-range electric vehicle Volvo has produced. The P10 AWD Electric variant offers an estimated range of up to 514 kilometres, suitable for daily commutes and weekend trips.

This range comes from Volvo's new SPA3 electric vehicle architecture, which includes cell-to-body technology, next-generation electric motors, and updated battery cell design. Mega casting techniques reduce weight while maintaining structural strength. The vehicle's aerodynamic profile - featuring a low front, sloping roofline, and tapered sides - achieves a drag coefficient of 0.26, directly contributing to range efficiency.

Charging speed matches the range capability. The EX60 can add up to 270 kilometres of range in ten minutes when using a 400kW fast charger. This charging performance makes quick stops practical for longer journeys.

HuginCore Computing and AI Integration

The EX60 runs on HuginCore, Volvo's latest core computing system. This platform processes data from sensors and controls vehicle functions, creating a responsive driving experience. HuginCore combines Volvo's in-house development with technology from Google, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm Technologies Inc.

The EX60 is the first Volvo to launch with Gemini, Google's AI assistant. Unlike traditional voice systems requiring specific commands, Gemini allows natural conversation. You can speak to the vehicle as you would to a passenger, without memorizing phrases. This reflects Volvo's partnership with Google as a lead development partner for Android Automotive OS.

The user interface responds quickly - screens load instantly, maps appear without delay, and key functions are accessible with fewer steps. Regular over-the-air updates add new features and improvements without dealership visits, ensuring the vehicle evolves over time.

Premium Audio Experience

The available 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system includes headrest speakers in all four main seats - a first for Volvo. This creates an immersive soundscape for every passenger.

The EX60 is also the first Volvo with Apple Music pre-installed with Dolby Atmos support. Artists can place individual sounds in three-dimensional space, creating detailed audio reproduction. The quiet electric cabin enhances this experience by minimizing wind and road noise.

Audio Features:

• 28 speakers positioned throughout the cabin
• Headrest speakers in all four main seats
• Dolby Atmos support via Apple Music
• Bowers & Wilkins engineering for clarity

Advanced Safety Technologies

Safety remains central to Volvo's design philosophy. The 2027 EX60 features a reinforced safety cage strengthened with boron steel, providing structural protection in collisions. HuginCore constantly monitors the environment through a sensor array, creating awareness of surrounding conditions.

The EX60 introduces Volvo's world-first multi-adaptive safety belt for front-row occupants. This system uses real-time data from interior and exterior sensors to customize protection based on the situation and individual profiles, including height, weight, body shape, and seating position. The system analyzes crash characteristics quickly and selects the appropriate load-limiting profile to help reduce injury risk.

Safety Features:

• Boron steel-reinforced safety cage
• Multi-adaptive safety belt with personalized profiles
• HuginCore-enabled 360-degree sensor awareness
• Over-the-air updates for safety algorithm improvements

Scandinavian Design Approach

The exterior styling prioritizes aerodynamic efficiency while maintaining visual appeal. The low front, sloping roofline, and tapered body sides contribute to the 0.26 drag coefficient, enhancing both range and efficiency.

Inside, the EX60 uses natural, high-end materials and smart storage solutions. The long wheelbase and flat floor create rear-seat legroom, while the large cargo area accommodates family needs. Various storage spaces for personal items reduce clutter and maintain cabin organization.

The design emphasizes functionality - every element serves a purpose, and premium materials create a welcoming environment. This approach reflects Scandinavian principles of minimalism and practicality.

Two Powertrain Options

The 2027 EX60 is available in Canada with two all-wheel drive configurations:

The P10 AWD Electric variant arrives first, with customer deliveries starting in fall 2026. This model starts at $77,500 before freight, PDI, fees, and taxes. Both variants include the same technology, safety features, and design elements.

Environmental Considerations

The EX60 achieves the lowest carbon footprint for a fully electric Volvo, matching the smaller EX30. This accomplishment demonstrates Volvo's focus on environmental responsibility across its electric vehicle lineup.

Volvo's broader goal includes becoming a fully electric car maker and achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. The EX60 supports this direction by offering drivers a way to reduce environmental impact while maintaining comfort and safety.
