2027 Volvo EX60 Ultra: Westport Buyers Guide

Quick Answer: 2027 Volvo EX60 Ultra

The Ultra sits atop the EX60 range at $65,000 MSRP with the P6 powertrain or $67,350 with P10 AWD, a $6,600 step up from the Plus on either powertrain, before the $1,395 destination charge. The premium buys ventilated Nappa leather with heated rear seats, a 28-speaker, 1,820-watt Bowers & Wilkins sound system, a dimmable electrochromic panoramic roof, integrated heated 2nd-row booster cushions, a heated steering wheel, and 21-inch wheels with self-cleaning HD pixel headlights. It does not buy more range, more power, or faster charging — those numbers are identical to the Plus on the same powertrain, which is the honest thing to know going in.

Where the extra $6,600 actually goes

Volvo's family-first instincts show up clearly on the Ultra. The integrated 2nd-row booster cushions — now available with heating — fold into the seat itself rather than sitting as a separate accessory, which is the kind of detail that matters twice a day at pickup and drop-off and is easy to underrate until you've lived without it. The cabin materials step up too: ventilated Nappa leather up front, heated in the rear, under a panoramic roof that goes from clear to opaque at the touch of a button instead of staying fixed. A crystal media controller replaces the standard gear selector as a small but noticeable design flourish, and four-way power lumbar support in the front seats is the kind of thing you don't notice until a long I-95 stretch reminds you it's there.

The audio upgrade is the single biggest jump on the spec sheet: 28 speakers and 1,820 watts from Bowers & Wilkins, replacing the Plus's 21-speaker Bose setup. It's genuinely a different listening experience, not a marketing number, and it's paired with 21-inch wheels and HD pixel headlights that include self-cleaning lenses — a small but real advantage on salted Connecticut roads in February, when regular headlights cake over and dim within a single commute.

P6 or P10 AWD on the Ultra — same math as the Plus

The powertrain choice carries over unchanged: P6 at $65,000 with 369 horsepower and up to 307 miles of EPA-estimated range, or P10 AWD at $67,350 with 503 combined horsepower, all-wheel drive, and up to 330 miles. Buyers who've already decided on Ultra trim for the cabin experience should pick the powertrain the same way Plus buyers do — based on whether all-wheel-drive traction and quicker acceleration are worth $2,350, not based on anything Ultra-specific.

Who the Ultra premium is actually for

It's worth being direct about the case here: the Ultra is a materials-and-features upgrade, not a performance or range upgrade, and buyers cross-shopping strictly on EV fundamentals may find the Plus does everything they need for $6,600 less. Where the Ultra earns its price is with families who'll use the booster cushions regularly, anyone who genuinely cares about a top-tier sound system, and buyers who simply want the nicest cabin available on this platform without waiting for the P12 flagship to arrive. One recent Volvo Cars Westport customer, coordinating a purchase from out of state, described exactly the kind of service that makes a premium-trim decision easier: "If you are looking for a dealership that honors its word and treats customers with genuine care, look no further than [Volvo Cars Westport]. I coordinated a CPO purchase from out of state on very short notice, and the team exceeded every expectation... The dealership offered a fantastic price and showed great respect for my time and travel by holding the car for me. This level of service is a rarity in the industry." That same team handles EX60 orders, Ultra included, with the same order-and-confirm process.

Frequently asked questions

How much is the 2027 EX60 Ultra?

MSRP from $65,000 (P6) or $67,350 (P10 AWD), plus the $1,395 destination charge, Connecticut taxes, and fees. Both trims land well above the state's $50,000 luxury-tax threshold — the pricing guide covers the exact impact.

Does the Ultra have more range or power than the Plus?

No. Range, horsepower, torque, 0-60 time, and charging speed are all identical to the Plus on the matching powertrain. The Ultra premium is entirely about cabin materials, audio, the roof, and styling details.

Is the sound system upgrade worth it?

If music quality matters to you day to day, yes — 28 speakers and 1,820 watts from Bowers & Wilkins is a meaningfully different system, not an incremental spec bump. If audio isn't a priority, the Plus's 21-speaker Bose setup is already well above entry-level.

What are the integrated booster cushions, exactly?

A pair of built-in, height-boosting cushions in the 2nd row, now available with heating, designed to give younger kids a proper seatbelt fit without a separate car seat cluttering the back row. They're Ultra-exclusive.

Can I order an Ultra now?

Yes, configuration is open at Volvo Cars Westport. As with the Plus, confirm current build and delivery timing with the team since this is the EX60's first model year on sale.

The bottom line

The Ultra is the EX60 dressed for the showroom floor rather than the spec sheet — leather, a serious stereo, a roof that dims on command, and the kind of family details that show up in daily use rather than in a brochure. It's a fair upgrade for buyers who'll use those features regularly; buyers focused purely on range and price should give the Plus guide a look first, since the two trims drive identically on the same powertrain.

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