2027 Volvo EX60 Ultra: Boston Buyers Guide

Quick Answer: The 2027 EX60 Ultra

The EX60 Ultra starts at $65,000 MSRP with the P6 single-motor powertrain and $67,350 with the P10 AWD dual-motor, before the $1,395 destination charge — a $6,600 step up from the Plus. In exchange, the Ultra adds ventilated Nappa leather with heated rear seats, a 28-speaker, 1,820-watt Bowers & Wilkins sound system, a dimmable electrochromic panoramic roof, a crystal media controller for the gear selector, integrated 2nd-row heated comfort features, a heated steering wheel and wiper blades, and 21-inch wheels with self-cleaning HD pixel headlights.

The trim built for the showroom test

Some upgrade trims are about badges; the Ultra is about materials and sound. Ventilated Nappa leather replaces the Plus's standard upholstery, heated rear seats join heated fronts, and the roof glass goes electrochromic — dim it at the touch of a control instead of relying on a fixed panoramic pane. The audio jump is the one people notice fastest: 28 speakers and 1,820 watts of Bowers & Wilkins, a genuine step above the Plus's 21-speaker Bose setup, in a cabin quiet enough (no engine, after all) to actually hear the difference. The crystal gear selector and unique Ultra badging round out a cabin that reads the way Volvo wants its flagship electric SUV to read.

The equipment differences aren't purely cosmetic. 21-inch wheels replace the Plus's 20-inch set (worth knowing they trade a touch of range for the look, per Volvo's own wheel-size range estimates), and the self-cleaning HD pixel headlights are a genuine winter-driving upgrade in a city where road spray and salt film headlights faster than most owners expect.

P6 or P10 AWD on the Ultra

The Ultra carries the same powertrain choice as the Plus: the P6's 369-hp single motor and rear-wheel drive against the P10 AWD's 503 hp, all-wheel drive, and quicker 4.4-second 0-60, for a $2,350 premium. On a trim this equipped, most Boston buyers who've made it this far in the configurator find the AWD upgrade an easy add — it's a small percentage of a $65,000-plus purchase, and the estimated range actually improves slightly on the P10 AWD versus the P6 at matching wheel sizes, so there's little practical trade-off to weigh against a Massachusetts winter.

Second-row comfort, reconsidered

The Ultra's 2nd-row seating adds integrated heated comfort features not available on the Plus, alongside the four-way power lumbar support Volvo added to the front seats. For families who spend real time in the back — school runs, grandparents, longer trips up 93 or out to the Cape — it's the kind of detail that separates a trim built to be looked at from one built to be lived in daily.

What buyers say about Volvo SUVs at this store

The EX60 doesn't have its own review history yet, but the Ultra's target buyer — someone choosing a well-equipped Volvo SUV for safety and comfort reasons as much as style — is well represented in Boston Volvo Cars's nearly 960 Google reviews. One recent SUV buyer, on choosing Volvo for the family: “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... I cannot possibly describe the happiness we are feeling this week as we started to drive this gorgeous car off the lot today.” Another buyer, on the overall experience: “Everyone at [Boston Volvo Cars] made us feel comfortable and truly cared about helping us find the right car.”

Frequently asked questions

Is the EX60 Ultra worth $6,600 over the Plus?

It depends what you value: the Nappa leather, Bowers & Wilkins audio, electrochromic roof, and 2nd-row comfort features are meaningful upgrades if you want the full luxury cabin. Buyers focused on the Plus's already-standard safety suite and infotainment may not need them.

What wheels come on the Ultra?

21-inch wheels standard, up from the Plus's 20-inch set; a 22-inch option exists across the range but trims range slightly per Volvo's own estimates.

Does the Ultra include the Climate Package items?

Yes — heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and heated wiper blades come standard on the Ultra; on the Plus they're a $750 option.

How much faster is the P10 AWD Ultra than the P6?

4.4 seconds to 60 mph versus 5.7, with all-wheel drive added, for a $2,350 premium over the P6 Ultra.

The flagship of a brand-new lineup

The EX60 Ultra is Volvo's argument that an electric SUV doesn't have to feel like a tech demo — it can feel like the nicest thing in the driveway, or in this case, the nicest thing plugged into the curb. Compare it against the Plus in person; the differences are the kind you feel more than read about.

MSRP figures exclude the $1,395 destination charge plus taxes, title, registration, and dealer-installed options; the dealer sets the actual selling price.
