The Volvo EX60 debuts with two trims, two powertrains, and a lot to offer.

In the months leading up to the release of the 2027 Volvo EX60, the automaker’s all-new midsize battery-electric crossover, much has been made of its 400-mile range and coffee-break-equivalent charging time. That promise persists, but it won’t quite be met in the earliest versions to arrive in the United States. Nevertheless, with cutting-edge safety features worthy of Volvo’s legacy, high-end comforts and conveniences worthy of its standards, and a starting price that undercuts our expectations, the EX60 arrives as a genuinely compelling addition to a segment where the competition is really heating up.

Verdict: The EX60 may not be without fault, but its many strengths unquestionably outweigh its few minor misses–in a vacuum. In context, with the superior powertrain and two key rivals still pending, the recommendation is a tougher call. Those who can truly live the old adage that “comparison is the thief of joy” have no reason to wait; this is a comfortable, attractive, and highly livable EV.
