2027 Volvo EX60: Westport Buyers Guide

Quick Answer: The 2027 Volvo EX60 at a Glance

The 2027 Volvo EX60 is Volvo's all-new, fully electric answer to the XC60: same midsize-SUV footprint, zero gasoline. It comes in two trims, Plus (from $58,400 MSRP) and Ultra (from $65,000), each buildable with either the single-motor rear-drive P6 powertrain or the dual-motor all-wheel-drive P10, before the $1,395 destination charge. P6 is EPA-estimated at up to 307 miles of range; P10 AWD stretches that to 330. Both charge at up to 16 minutes for a 10-80% top-up on the EX60's native NACS plug, no adapter required. It's a first-model-year car, so treat it as a build-and-order vehicle for now — Volvo has said test drives roll out later this year — and Volvo Cars Westport, 556 Post Road East, is where Fairfield County shoppers can start that order today.

Not an XC60 with a plug — a different car entirely

Here's the thing worth clearing up before anything else, because the names invite the mix-up: the EX60 is not a trim of the XC60, not an electric package you check a box for, and not a rebadge. It's a separate model, built from the ground up on what Volvo calls a "born-electric" architecture, with the battery integrated directly into the car's structure instead of bolted underneath a platform designed for an engine. The XC60 — gas B5, plug-in T8, all of it — keeps selling right alongside it in the same Westport showroom. Buyers who want a Volvo SUV in this size class now get an actual choice, not a trim-level footnote.

It's also, notably, the first Volvo built with a native NACS port. That's the same plug shape Tesla uses, and it means direct access to the Tesla Supercharger network's 29,000-plus DC fast chargers along with the rest of the roughly 120,000 public charging points nationally — no dongle rattling around the center console. For anyone who's watched a friend fumble with a CCS adapter at a rest stop on I-95, that alone is worth a mention.

Two powertrains, and the range numbers behind them

Every EX60 starts as a P6: a single electric motor on the rear axle, 369 horsepower, 354 lb-ft, 0-60 in 5.7 seconds, and an EPA-estimated range up to 307 miles on the smaller wheels (295 on the optional 22-inch set — bigger wheels always cost some range in an EV, and the EX60 is no exception). Step up to P10 AWD and you get a second motor up front, 503 combined horsepower, 524 lb-ft, all-wheel drive, a 4.4-second sprint to 60, and up to 330 miles of range. A third powertrain, the 670-horsepower P12 AWD with an estimated 400-mile range, has been announced but isn't orderable yet — Volvo lists it as "available at a later date," so don't expect to configure one on the lot this month.

Charging leans on 800-volt electrical architecture, which is the piece that makes the fast numbers possible: as little as 16 minutes for a 10-80% top-up on either P6 or P10 at a sufficiently powerful DC charger, with the car able to add well over 150 miles of range in the first 10 minutes plugged in. At home, a standard 19.2 kWh onboard charger handles overnight Level 2 charging in well under a workday, and the car is wired for bidirectional charging out of the box, which matters more every year as home backup power becomes its own reason to buy an EV.

What this Westport showroom's EV owners are already saying

The dealership carries a 4.7-star average across more than 2,000 Google reviews, and its electric-Volvo customers already sound like converts. One shopper described stopping in almost on a whim: "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!" — a small SUV, not the EX60, but the same sales team and the same electric-Volvo learning curve buyers here have already been through. On the ownership side, a Polestar 2 owner (Volvo's electric performance sibling) put it plainly after a service visit: "Rafael and the team were fantastic. Top-notch service on my Polestar 2 — couldn't ask for better." That's the same service department that will be logging EX60 miles starting this model year.

What Fairfield County driving actually asks of an EV

Range anxiety is a real conversation, and it's a fair one to have honestly rather than wave away. Winter cold cuts into any EV's real-world range, the EX60 included, and Volvo's own built-in Range Assistant app is designed around exactly that: it factors in driving style, traffic, and outdoor temperature and adjusts the trip math in real time rather than leaving you to guess. For most Westport-to-Manhattan or Westport-to-New Haven commutes, even a cold-weather-adjusted 250-mile-class range covers the round trip with room to spare, and DC fast chargers are increasingly common along the I-95 and Merritt Parkway corridors for the rare day that doesn't. The bigger practical question for most shoppers here is simpler: do you have a driveway or garage outlet? Post Road East and the surrounding Westport, Wilton, and Norwalk neighborhoods skew toward single-family homes with exactly that, which is the single biggest predictor of whether an EV fits a household's life without a second thought.

After the order

Ownership questions get their own guides. The EX60 service & repair guide covers what maintaining an electric Volvo actually looks like — spoiler: far less often than the gas cars in the same lot. The pricing & leasing guide walks through Connecticut's tax picture on a car whose every configuration lands above the state's $50,000 luxury threshold, plus the current state of EV incentives, which is not what it used to be.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Volvo EX60 available now?

It's open for order and configuration at Volvo Cars Westport. Volvo's own materials put broad test-drive availability in the second half of this year, so the fastest way to get an accurate local timeline is to ask the Westport team directly rather than assume a date.

How much does the 2027 EX60 cost?

MSRP runs from $58,400 for a P6 Plus up to $67,350 for a P10 AWD Ultra, before the $1,395 destination charge, taxes, and fees. The pricing guide breaks down all four buildable configurations.

How far can the EX60 go on a charge?

Up to 307 miles EPA-estimated on the P6, up to 330 on the P10 AWD, both on the smaller available wheels (larger 22-inch wheels trim a bit off each). These are Volvo's own estimates ahead of final EPA certification.

Is the EX60 replacing the XC60?

Not on this lot, not yet. The gas and plug-in-hybrid XC60 keeps selling alongside the EX60, so buyers choose between them rather than being funneled toward one. Ask the team for a side-by-side if you're torn.

Does the EX60 have wireless Apple CarPlay?

Yes — and that's actually a change worth knowing about if you've owned another current Volvo. The gas and plug-in-hybrid lineup uses a wired CarPlay connection; the EX60, built on all-new electric architecture, supports it wirelessly standard.

Where can I start an order?

Volvo Cars Westport can walk through configuration and current allocation timing at 556 Post Road East, or the Roadster Express Store can start the process online.

The bottom line

The EX60 is Volvo betting its best-selling body style can work just as well without an engine, and the early spec sheet backs the bet: real range, fast charging, and a cabin that doesn't feel like a science project. It's early days for this specific car, which means the smart move is a conversation with the Westport team about configuration and timing rather than a same-day decision off a spec sheet. The rest of the current Volvo lineup is parked a few steps away in the meantime, electric and otherwise.

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 charging figures are Volvo's own preliminary estimates ahead of final EPA certification and will vary with driving conditions, temperature, and equipment. No federal EV purchase tax credit currently applies to new vehicles; state and local incentive programs vary and change — confirm current eligibility with the dealership's finance office before assuming any credit applies.
