The second half of 2026 is setting up a battle as several all-new premium crossovers converge in a fickle US EV market with hopes that pent-up demand will provide some tailwinds for all the new arrivals. If there's one segment that can crack the code and find enough shoppers, it's this one – a step above compact entry-level luxury and yet priced low enough to appeal to some mainstream shoppers, especially those who don't want to buy a Tesla.Today we find out how the 2027 Volvo EX60 stacks up in the two-row midsize crossover segment in the pricing arena. It compares favorably against other new arrivals such as the BMW iX3, Mercedes-Benz GLC EV, and Audi Q6 e-tron, but less so against other luxury EVs that have been in the market for at least a year, such as the Cadillac Optiq, Lexus RZ, and Tesla Model Y.All of these vehicles are dimensionally similar, within 2 inches in overall length of the EX60, which measures in at 189.1 inches long, identical to the Optiq. The smallest of the bunch is the Model Y (187.0 inches long), while the largest is the GLC (190.7 inches overall). Priced From $59,795, Range Starts at 295 Miles Tom Murphy / CarBuzz / ValnetOn the range front, the EX60 slots in at the lower end of the batch of new luxury EVs, starting at 295 miles of estimated range in a rear-wheel-drive P6 model with 22-inch rims. At the other end of the scale (and further down the road) is the high-output P12 AWD model with the biggest battery and an estimated 400 miles of range.Official numbers are not yet available from the EPA for the EX60, but those official numbers are in for the BMW iX3, and it appears that will be the giant slayer in the group, with at least 383 miles of range with 20-inch all-season tires and up to 434 miles of range on the same rubber. Volvo will offer three battery sizes (80 kWh, 91 kWh, and 112 kWh usable energy), and the first two are smaller than BMW's Neue Klasse batteries.Perhaps BMW has the latitude to charge more for its longer-range new EV, but Volvo is playing it safer, with the rear-wheel-drive EX60 P6 Plus starting at $59,795, including $1,395 destination charges from Sweden. The BMW iX3 will start at $62,850, including $1,350 destination charges from BMW's plant in Hungary. The most expensive offering in this segment is likely to be the updated Q6 e-tron, starting at $64,500 plus destination charges, while the Mercedes GLC should come in slightly lower, around $60,000. First Vehicle From SPA3 Platform VolvoIf the newest and shiniest bauble is less important to you than finding a good deal, it's worth comparison test-driving the models already in the market, namely the Tesla Model Y, Cadillac Optiq, and Lexus RZ. Among those entrants, the Model Y is the most affordable, available in the low $40,000 range. The Model Y has been in the market for six years and was updated with the "Juniper" refresh for model year '26.If you need a fancier EX60, the RWD P6 Ultra starts at $66,395 with destination. Stepping up from P6 gets you the two-motor all-wheel-drive P10 package that starts at $62,145 in Plus trim and $68,745 in Ultra, with destination.The EX60 is Volvo's first vehicle from its all-new SPA3 platform and integrates NACS fast charging for access to thousands of charging stations. It's also Volvo's first software-defined vehicle, meaning it can be readily updated remotely with new functionality and subscription offerings. While the smaller EX30 is being discontinued in the U.S. market, the EX60 will slot in below the larger three-row EX90.Order books for the 2027 Volvo EX60 P6 and P10 trims are open in the US now. EX60 P12 models will be available for order later this year.
