2027 Volvo EX60: Boston Buyers Guide

Quick Answer: The 2027 Volvo EX60 at a Glance

The EX60 is Volvo's newest electric SUV and an entirely new model for 2027 — the fully electric counterpart to the XC60, not a version of it. Two trims are available, Plus from $58,400 MSRP and Ultra from $65,000, and each can be built with either the single-motor P6 (369 hp, rear-wheel drive) or the dual-motor P10 AWD (503 hp, all-wheel drive), for four configurations total. Volvo's own preliminary range estimates run up to 330 miles, the car charges natively on the NACS plug with no adapter, and destination adds $1,395 to every build. In Allston, it's on order now at Boston Volvo Cars, the only Volvo dealer inside the city.

A new model, not a new engine option

It's worth saying plainly, because the names invite confusion: the EX60 is not an electric trim of the XC60. It's a separate vehicle built on Volvo's next-generation architecture, sold alongside the gas and plug-in-hybrid XC60 in the same showroom, aimed at the same midsize-SUV buyer who's decided this is the year to go electric. Volvo calls it a 2026 Newsweek “Most Anticipated” pick, and it's the brand's first vehicle with a native NACS charging port — the Tesla-style plug — built in from the factory, so there's no adapter to remember or misplace at a public charger.

Boston Volvo Cars has carried the badge since 1957, longer than any other store in New England, and it's still the only Volvo dealer inside Boston proper. The new Boston Volvo Cars Village facility sits at 61 N Beacon Street in Allston, a couple of minutes off the Pike and Soldiers Field Road and an easy walk from the Boston Landing commuter rail stop — close enough that cross-shopping the EX60 against the gas XC60 ten feet away is a same-visit errand, not a second trip.

Two trims, two powertrains, four builds

Volvo split the EX60 differently than its gas SUVs. Trim and powertrain are independent choices: Plus or Ultra sets the equipment level, and P6 or P10 AWD sets the motor and drive layout. The P6 is a single rear motor making 369 horsepower and 354 lb-ft, rear-wheel drive, 0-60 in 5.7 seconds, and Volvo's preliminary estimate puts its range as high as 307 miles on the standard wheels. Step up to the P10 AWD and a second motor joins in front, for 503 horsepower, 524 lb-ft, all-wheel drive, a 4.4-second 0-60, and an estimated 330 miles on a charge. A third powertrain, the 670-horsepower P12 AWD, has been announced but isn't orderable yet — Volvo says it arrives later, so treat any EX60 conversation today as a Plus-or-Ultra, P6-or-P10 decision, not a three-motor one. Those range figures are Volvo's own preliminary numbers; EPA certification for the 2027 EX60 hadn't posted as of this writing, so consider them well-sourced estimates rather than final government ratings until the agency's listing goes live.

Every EX60, regardless of trim or motor, charges on a native NACS plug and comes with bidirectional charging capability built in. DC fast charging tops out around 16 minutes for a 10-80% top-off on a 350-400 kW charger, and Volvo says ten minutes on a fast charger alone can add roughly 150-165 miles depending on powertrain. At home, a 19.2 kW onboard charger takes a depleted battery to full in 8 to 9 hours on a 48-amp circuit — an overnight job for most driveways, though see the note below on what that means for a car that lives on the street.

An EV in a city built on street parking

Boston's version of range anxiety isn't really about range — it's about the outlet. Plenty of Allston, Brighton, and Cambridge owners don't have a driveway, let alone a garage, which turns the home-charging math into a different question than it is in the suburbs. The EX60's answer is the NACS port: it opens the door to the country's largest fast-charging network without an adapter, so a resident-permit owner can lean on public DC fast charging along the Pike corridor or near the Landing rather than counting on an overnight trickle that a parking spot might not allow anyway. Buyers with a driveway or a dedicated spot get the easier version of this story — plug in at home on a 48-amp circuit and wake up full — and Boston Volvo Cars can talk through installation through Volvo's charger-install partners for those who do.

What buyers say about the dealership

The EX60 is too new to have its own review trail yet, but the dealership's track record with first-time EV buyers is already on the record. One recent shopper who cross-shopped several Boston-area stores before buying an EX30: “We were in the market for an EV and visited several dealerships in the Greater Boston area. We are now first-time Volvo drivers, and we could not be more excited! Rich was absolutely amazing, he took the time to walk us through every detail... Other dealerships we visited did not come close to the kindness, professionalism, and care we experienced at [Boston Volvo Cars].” A recent SUV buyer, on the broader experience: “My parents in particular ultimately decided on Volvo because they know it is the SAFEST option for me and my brother and along with that it is a luxurious and beautiful option.”

That pattern — a patient walkthrough of unfamiliar technology, no pressure to decide faster than the buyer wants — is exactly what an EV newcomer needs, whether the questions are about trims or about a charging cable.

Living with one after the sale

Electric ownership changes the maintenance conversation more than the pricing conversation. The EX60 service & repair guide covers Volvo's every-two-year EV service rhythm, the complimentary first visit on 2027 cars, and the state inspection every Massachusetts owner still has to handle regardless of what's under the hood — or, here, under the frunk. Money questions, including what the federal government no longer offers on a new EV purchase, are answered straight in the pricing & leasing guide.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Volvo EX60 available now?

It's orderable now at Boston Volvo Cars. Volvo has said test drives roll out to showrooms during the second half of 2026; ask the store for the current status on this location before planning a visit around one.

How much does the 2027 EX60 cost?

MSRP runs $58,400 to $67,350 across the four buildable configurations, before the $1,395 destination charge. The pricing guide breaks down every configuration plus what Massachusetts adds on top.

How far can a Volvo EX60 go on a charge?

Volvo's own preliminary estimates run up to 307 miles on the P6 and up to 330 on the P10 AWD, depending on wheel size, pending final EPA certification.

Is the EX60 replacing the XC60?

No — the gas and plug-in-hybrid XC60 stays in the lineup as its own model. The EX60 is the electric alternative in the same segment, sold side by side with it at this store.

Does the EX60 qualify for the federal EV tax credit?

No. The federal purchase credit expired for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. Massachusetts has run its own state-level EV incentive programs in the past; ask Boston Volvo Cars what, if anything, currently applies.

Where can I see one in Boston?

At Boston Volvo Cars on N Beacon Street, or start the conversation from home through Buy From Home.

One new model, one Volvo dealer in Boston

The EX60 is the newest reason to make the trip to Allston, but it isn't the only one — it now sits on the floor next to the rest of Volvo's electric range and the gas XC60 it was built to answer. The trim guides below go deeper on Plus versus Ultra; the fastest way to actually decide is still to sit in both.

MSRP figures exclude the $1,395 destination charge plus taxes, title, registration, and dealer-installed options; the dealer sets the actual selling price. Range and efficiency figures are Volvo's own preliminary estimates; EPA certification for the 2027 EX60 was pending as of this writing and final figures may differ. Equipment, availability, and test-drive timing can shift with production; confirm current specifics with Boston Volvo Cars. No federal, state, or local tax credit or incentive is stated, implied, or guaranteed on this page.
