VolvoDespite the availability of electric vehicles, most Americans won't give up gasoline. A 2025 AAA survey found that only 16 percent of U.S. adults say they are likely to purchase an electric vehicle as their next car, the lowest since 2019. Meanwhile, EV sales in the United States fell by 4% in 2025, marking the first decline in a decade.The reasons behind that hesitation are well documented among the car-buying public, including range anxiety, insufficient charging infrastructure, and prices that are simply too high for the average person to justify.Volvo's answer to all three is the 2027 EX60, which made its North American debut in New York City recently. Starting at $58,400, it enters one of the most difficult segments of the automotive market with a straightforward pitch: everything you've been waiting for in terms of electrification, now in one vehicle.Up to 400 miles on a single chargeFrom New York to Montreal without stopping once2027 Volvo EX60Range anxiety is one of the most cited reasons why Americans pass on EVs, something Volvo is addressing with the EX60.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe base P6 offers up to 307 miles of all-electric range, while the P10 AWD offers 322 miles. The top-of-the-line P12 AWD offers up to 400 miles of range on a single charge, enough to drive from New York City to Montreal without stopping for a charge. All range figures are preliminary estimates based on EPA testing cycles, with official ratings to follow.The P12 AWD won't be available to configure at launch. Customers ordering in the U.S. now can choose between the P6 and P10 AWD, with the P12 AWD arriving at a later date (Volvo did not specify an exact release date).The EX60 is built on Volvo's latest SPA3 electric platform, developed at the automaker’s home in Gothenburg, Sweden. Cell-to-body technology, next-generation electric motors, a new battery cell design, and megacasting all contribute to what Volvo says is the lowest carbon footprint of any fully electric Volvo to date, matching that of the smaller EX30.173 miles in the time it takes to grab a coffeeThe 10-minute stop that actually gets you somewhereRange anxiety is only part of the equation. Even with an estimated 400 miles of range for something like the P12 AWD, anxiety can still persist if charging takes too long.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe 800V architecture of the SPA3 platform enables charging speeds of up to 320 kilowatts on the P6 and up to 370 kilowatts on the AWD variants. In practical terms, that means adding up to 173 miles of range in approximately 10 minutes, about the time it takes to order and pick up a coffee.A full charge from 10% to 80% takes as little as 16 minutes on the P6 and P10 AWD.The EX60 is also the first Volvo equipped with a native North American Charging Standard port, which means adapter-free access to more than 29,000 Tesla Supercharger stations nationwide. For those who have watched the charging infrastructure conversation with skepticism, that number represents a meaningful change in the ownership experience.Well-equipped from the start, with room to go furtherGemini, Bose audio, and heated second-row seatsVolvoPremium electric SUVs usually have buyers choose between standard features and affordability. The EX60 P6 Plus starts under $59,000 and arrives with a 15-inch OLED touchscreen, Google Built-in with Gemini AI assistant, and a 21-speaker Bose premium stereo. All standard.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe Gemini integration is worth a closer look, especially as other automakers begin offering Gemini capability. The EX60 will be the first Volvo to launch with a Gemini AI assistant, allowing drivers to manage tasks through natural conversations instead of memorizing specific commands or phrases.For example, on a road trip, drivers can ask Gemini to find a charging station, check the weather at the destination, or add a restaurant stop, all in a single, natural conversation. Among the benefits of the Gemini integration is that drivers can complete certain tasks without taking their eyes off the road or tapping the screen.Further pricing and availabilityFor buyers waiting for the right premium electric vehicle, the 2027 Volvo EX60 makes a strong case. Order books are currently open for U.S. customers through authorized Vovlo retailers. Initial deliveries will follow later this year.Every 2027 EX60 is powered by HuginCore, Volvo's newly named computing system inspired by Norse mythology. The system continuously monitors the vehicle's surroundings with a suite of advanced sensors to enhance on-road safety, in addition to enabling regular over-the-air updates.AdvertisementAdvertisementStepping up to the Ultra trim at $65,000 adds ventilated Nappa leather upholstery, a 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system, a dimmable electrochromic panoramic roof, and heated second-row booster seats.The P10 AWD variants start at $60,750 for the Plus and $67,350 for the Ultra.
