2027 Volvo EX60 Plus: Westport Buyers Guide

Quick Answer: 2027 Volvo EX60 Plus

The Plus is the entry point into the all-new EX60 lineup, starting at $58,400 MSRP with the single-motor P6 powertrain or $60,750 with the dual-motor P10 AWD, before the $1,395 destination charge. It already carries a 15-inch curved OLED touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, a 21-speaker Bose sound system, a fixed panoramic roof, three-zone climate, and Volvo's full Safe Space safety suite standard — nothing about the Plus reads as stripped-down. The $6,600 step up to Ultra buys leather, a bigger stereo, and a dimmable roof, not more range or more power, which is exactly the case this guide walks through.

What "entry trim" means when the base car is already this equipped

Volvo didn't build a stripped fleet-spec EX60 and call it the Plus. Every Plus gets the 15-inch curved OLED center display running Google's built-in system with the Gemini AI assistant baked in, an 11.4-inch driver display, and a Google digital services package included for four years. Wireless Apple CarPlay comes standard — worth flagging for anyone cross-shopping against the gas or plug-in-hybrid XC60 in the same showroom, since that car's infotainment uses a wired connection instead. The Plus also includes a hands-free power tailgate you open with a foot swipe under the bumper, bidirectional charging capability, an NFC smart card key that skips the physical fob, three-zone climate control with a heat pump, and a fixed panoramic roof over heated, power-adjustable front seats.

Audio is a 21-speaker Bose system, which is not a footnote-worthy spec on most cars but is worth mentioning here because it's the one thing Ultra buyers are actually trading up from — more on that below. Wheels are 20-inch standard, and a $750 Climate Package option adds heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and heated wiper blades, all of which come standard on the Ultra instead.

Choosing P6 or P10 AWD on the Plus

Both powertrains are available on the Plus, and the choice doesn't touch the equipment list at all — it's purely range, power, and drivetrain. P6 is the single rear motor, 369 horsepower, 354 lb-ft, 0-60 in 5.7 seconds, EPA-estimated up to 307 miles, and it's the lower-priced entry at $58,400. P10 AWD adds a second motor up front for 503 combined horsepower, all-wheel drive, a 4.4-second 0-60, and up to 330 miles of range, for a $2,350 premium at $60,750. For most Fairfield County driveways, P6's rear-drive-only layout is a non-issue outside a heavy snow year; for anyone who wants the traction margin on Route 1 in February without thinking about it, P10 AWD is the safer default, and it's also the quicker car by well over a second to 60.

The buying experience, from people who've already gone electric here

One recent Volvo Cars Westport customer wrote about her husband's spontaneous test drive of the brand's compact electric SUV: "Thanks to Isaias and the team at [Volvo Cars Westport]! My husband stopped in a whim to test drive the ex30 fully electric compact suv and was pleasantly surprised with the friendliness and overall experience at Volvo!" Another buyer, working with the same salesperson on a different order, described a similarly low-friction process: "Isaias made the purchase of a new car seamless. His patience and professional attitude made working with him very easy. Westport came through on a great deal, they were honest, and stayed true to their word on a deal that was hard to satisfy simply due to the limited inventory, but they did all they could to make sure I was satisfied and found me a great car." That's the pattern worth expecting on an EX60 order too — a newer, more technical car benefits from a salesperson willing to actually explain the charging and range questions rather than rush past them.

Frequently asked questions

How much is the 2027 EX60 Plus?

MSRP from $58,400 (P6) or $60,750 (P10 AWD), plus the $1,395 destination charge, Connecticut taxes, and fees. Check the new-vehicle specials page for what's currently active.

What does the Plus give up compared to the Ultra?

Mostly cabin materials and audio: cloth-and-leather-blend seating instead of Nappa leather, the 21-speaker Bose system instead of the 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins, a fixed roof instead of the dimmable electrochromic one, and 20-inch wheels instead of 21-inch. Range, power, charging speed, and every safety feature are identical between the two on the same powertrain.

Is wireless CarPlay actually standard, not an upgrade?

Standard on every Plus, no package required. It's one of the clearest differences between this car's electric-native software platform and the wired setup on the rest of the current Volvo lineup.

Which powertrain should I pick on the Plus?

P6 covers the range most local driving needs at the lower price point; P10 AWD adds all-wheel-drive traction and noticeably quicker acceleration for $2,350 more. If winter traction confidence matters to you more than the extra cost, P10 AWD is the straightforward answer.

Can I order a Plus today?

Configuration and ordering are open at Volvo Cars Westport. Ask the team for the current build and delivery timeline, since this is a first-model-year vehicle and schedules are still settling.

The bottom line

The Plus isn't a compromise trim — it's a fully-equipped EV with the same range, power, and safety hardware as the Ultra, minus leather and a bigger stereo. For buyers who care more about the EX60's actual case for existing (range, charging speed, safety tech) than cabin trim, it's very likely the right stopping point. Anyone drawn to the extra materials and audio should read the Ultra guide next; anyone still deciding electric versus gas should back up to the EX60 overview.

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