EPA-Certified Range Sets New Record for Volvo Electric Vehicles
Volvo announced on July 23 that the 2027 EX60 P10 AWD has received official EPA certification, achieving a single-charge range of up to 330 miles, the longest range ever recorded for a Volvo electric vehicle. Volvo confirmed that the first EX60 models were delivered to customers in Sweden last week, marking the start of production and deliveries, which will ramp up over the coming weeks and months. U.S. deliveries are expected to begin soon, though an exact date has not been disclosed.
According to the EPA certification, the 2027 EX60 P10 AWD offers an estimated range of 330 miles under standard configuration, while the single-motor P6 variant achieves up to 307 miles. When equipped with 22-inch wheels, the range decreases to 312 miles for the P10 AWD and 295 miles for the P6. Volvo emphasized that the EX60 is the first vehicle built on its third-generation Scalable Product Architecture (SPA3), a platform designed specifically for electric vehicles. The EX60 features an 800-volt electrical system and supports peak charging rates of up to 370 kW, allowing the P10 AWD to add 165 miles of range in just 10 minutes. The P6 variant can add up to 155 miles of range in 16 minutes with a charging rate of up to 320 kW.
Additionally, the 2027 EX60 is Volvo’s first model to feature a built-in North American Charging Standard (NACS) charge port, enabling drivers to access over 29,000 Tesla Superchargers across the U.S. without an adapter. This integration enhances charging convenience and expands the EX60’s charging network coverage in the U.S. market.
Pricing, Features, and Market Positioning
Orders for the 2027 EX60 opened in May, with the base P6 model starting at $58,400 and the P10 AWD priced from $60,750. According to Volvo’s official website, the P6 Plus trim is available for lease at $599 per month for 36 months, with $6,489 due at signing. Volvo positions the EX60 as a “game-changing SUV,” highlighting its competitive range, ultra-fast charging, and performance at an accessible price point.
The EX60’s dimensions are comparable to those of the Tesla Model Y, measuring 189 inches in length, 81.5 inches in width, and 64.6 inches in height, with a wheelbase of 116.9 inches. In terms of pricing, the EX60 undercuts many of its competitors. For example, the 2026 Genesis Electrified GV70 starts at $64,380, the Porsche Macan Electric at $80,300, the Audi Q6 e-tron at $63,800, the Rivian R1S at $76,990, and the Mercedes EQS at $89,950. This pricing strategy positions the EX60 as a more affordable option in the midsize electric SUV segment.
The EX60 is available in Plus and Ultra trims. The entry-level P6 Plus includes a 15-inch OLED central touchscreen, Google Built-in with the Gemini AI Assistant, Pilot Assist driver assistance system, a 21-speaker Bose premium audio system, and Volvo’s Safe Space safety suite. The Ultra trim upgrades to ventilated Nappa leather seats, a 28-speaker Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system, and a panoramic sunroof, catering to consumers seeking luxury and comfort.
Volvo has also announced that the longer-range P12 AWD variant, with an estimated range of up to 400 miles, is expected to launch later this year. However, specific pricing and release dates for the P12 AWD have not yet been disclosed. As deliveries of the EX60 commence in Sweden, Volvo is expected to announce U.S. delivery timelines in the near future, though no exact date has been provided. The introduction of the EX60 not only demonstrates Volvo’s technological advancements in electric vehicles but also offers consumers a compelling new option in the electric SUV market.
