The all-electric Volvo EX60 has landed in the United States with a starting price of $58,400, and Volvo Cars is pitching it squarely at the heart of the American premium EV market. After today’s debut in New York City, U.S. customers can order the 2027 Volvo EX60 online or through authorized retailers, with first deliveries expected later this year.

The headline number for most shoppers will not be the price. It will be 400 miles of range, the figure Volvo quotes for the top-tier P12 AWD variant. That is enough, the company points out, to get from New York City to Montreal without stopping to charge.

What you actually get for $58,400

The base EX60 P6 Plus is the rear-driven entry point and comes generously equipped for the money. Standard kit includes a 15-inch OLED touchscreen with Google Built-in and Gemini, Pilot Assist, a 21-speaker Bose Premium Sound system, and Volvo’s Safe Space Technology suite of active and passive safety features. Range is rated at up to 307 miles.

Step up to the EX60 P10 AWD Plus at $60,750 and you add a second motor and all-wheel drive, with range rising to 322 miles. The Ultra trim adds ventilated Nappa leather, a 28-speaker Bowers and Wilkins audio system, a dimmable panoramic roof, and integrated heated booster seats in the second row, taking the P6 Ultra to $65,000 and the P10 AWD Ultra to $67,350.

The 400-mile P12 AWD lands later, after the P6 and P10 reach customers. Pricing for the P12 has not been confirmed.

Why the charging story is the part Volvo wants you to read twice

Range gets the headlines, but the EX60’s charging numbers are arguably the bigger deal. The car rides on Volvo’s new SPA3 platform with an 800V electrical architecture, and the company claims the P12 AWD will add up to 173 miles of range in 10 minutes at a 370 kW DC fast charger. Even the entry P6 manages 155 miles in 10 minutes at a 320 kW peak rate. A 10 to 80 percent charge takes 16 to 19 minutes depending on variant.

Just as importantly, the EX60 is the first Volvo with a native North American Charging Standard port. That means owners can pull straight into any of the 29,000-plus Tesla Supercharger stations across the country without an adapter, eliminating one of the most awkward parts of switching from an internal-combustion car to an EV in the U.S.

“The Volvo EX60 delivers on the key needs of American customers and is ideally positioned to play a major role in Volvo’s growth ambitions in the U.S.,” said Luis Rezende, President, Volvo Car Americas. “Backed by nearly 100 years of safety leadership and Scandinavian design heritage, the Volvo EX60 addresses the biggest barriers for U.S. consumers to switch to an EV, delivering the range Americans want, at a competitive price, with fast, simple charging that fits into daily life.”

How the EX60 stacks up against the Tesla Model Y and Mercedes EQE SUV

The midsize premium electric SUV segment is the most competitive corner of the EV market right now, and at $58,400, the EX60 lands between two reference points. The Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD starts well below the Volvo at around $48,000, and continues to dominate sales charts thanks to its Supercharger access, software, and pricing. The EX60 closes one of those gaps by adopting the same charging connector and adds Volvo’s safety pedigree, leather options and Bowers and Wilkins audio that the Tesla cannot match.

At the other end, the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV starts north of $77,000 in the U.S., and the BMW iX kicks off above $87,000. The EX60 with the Ultra package and 322 miles of range slots in well below either German rival while offering broadly comparable technology and a longer maximum range when the P12 lands.

The closer fight is probably with the Genesis GV60 and Cadillac Lyriq. The Lyriq starts around $59,000 with up to 326 miles of range, but lacks the EX60’s 800V architecture and headline charging speeds. The GV60 is roomier and quicker to charge but tops out around 264 miles of range. Volvo’s combination of 400 miles, 19-minute fast charging, and built-in Supercharger access is unusual at this price.

Software, safety, and what Volvo means by HuginCore

Under the EX60’s skin sits a centralized computing system Volvo calls HuginCore. The naming nods to Norse mythology, but the function is more practical: it consolidates compute, zone controllers, and electrical architecture into one stack that supports over-the-air updates and enables a continuous stream of new features after delivery.

The EX60 will be the first Volvo to launch with Gemini, Google’s conversational AI assistant, baked into the infotainment. The pitch is that drivers can ask the car to handle complex tasks through natural conversation rather than digging through menus, which Volvo argues should reduce the time eyes spend off the road.

Safety, predictably, gets serious attention. The EX60 debuts Volvo’s multi-adaptive safety belt, which adjusts its restraint behavior to the size and seating position of the occupant. The structure is built around a boron-steel reinforced safety cage, and the car exceeds many regulatory and rating requirements through Volvo’s own internal Safety Standard.

When you can drive one

The EX60 is on display at the Westfield World Trade Center in New York City from May 18 to 20, 2026. Customers can configure online at volvocars.com and place orders through Volvo retailers immediately. Test drives are scheduled to start later this summer, with initial deliveries shortly after.

For American buyers who like the idea of a long-range, fast-charging European EV but don’t want to spend BMW iX or Mercedes EQE money, the EX60 looks like the most credible premium alternative to the Tesla Model Y yet. The 400-mile P12 will be the variant that grabs attention, but the $58,400 P6 with 307 miles and Supercharger access is the one most likely to actually move the needle on Volvo’s American sales.
