2027 Volvo EX60 Plus: New York City Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The 2027 EX60 Plus
The EX60 Plus is the entry point into Volvo's all-new electric SUV, starting at $58,400 MSRP with the rear-drive P6 motor or $60,750 with the dual-motor P10 AWD, before the $1,395 destination charge. It comes standard with a 15-inch curved OLED touchscreen, Google built-in with wireless Apple CarPlay, 21-speaker Bose audio, frameless doors, a fixed panoramic roof, and bidirectional charging capability — nothing about the Plus reads like a stripped base trim. It's the configuration most first EX60 orders at Volvo Cars Manhattan are expected to land on.
What's actually standard
Being the entry trim on a new electric platform means Plus inherits everything the born-electric architecture does well, not a trimmed-down version of it. The cabin runs on a 15-inch curved OLED center display paired with an 11.4-inch driver screen, both driven by Google built-in — native Maps, Assistant, and the Play Store app catalog, with four years of that service bundled into the purchase. Apple CarPlay connects wirelessly, which is worth flagging for anyone cross-shopping the rest of the Volvo lineup: the gas and plug-in-hybrid cars in this same showroom still use a wired connection, so it's a genuine upgrade specific to the EX60. Twenty-one-speaker Bose audio, frameless doors, a fixed panoramic roof, privacy glass, three-zone climate with a heat pump, heated power-adjustable front seats, and a hands-free power tailgate that opens with a foot wave all come standard, along with an NFC smart card key — no physical key fob to fumble for outside a building's garage.
Two features worth calling out for anyone who hasn't shopped an EV before: bidirectional charging is standard on Plus, which means the car can eventually feed power back out, useful as home and building backup power becomes a bigger part of why people buy an EV at all; and cargo comes in at 64.3 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, 18.5 behind them, plus a 2.1-cubic-foot front trunk under the hood where an engine would normally sit — real extra storage that a Chelsea studio apartment doesn't otherwise offer.
Powertrain choice: P6 or P10 AWD
Plus buyers pick the powertrain independently of the trim. P6 is a single rear motor, 369 horsepower, 354 lb-ft, 0-60 in 5.7 seconds, Volvo-estimated at up to 307 miles of range. P10 AWD adds a front motor for 503 combined horsepower, 524 lb-ft, all-wheel drive, a 4.4-second sprint to 60, and up to 330 miles of range. Neither is a wrong answer — P6 keeps the price down and still moves with real urgency for a two-and-a-half-ton SUV, while P10 AWD is the one to spec for anyone who wants genuine traction margin for winter driving out past the five boroughs.
Plus can also be optioned with the Climate Package — heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and heated wiper blades — for $750, equipment that comes standard on the Ultra above it. Worth adding for anyone who's dealt with a frozen wiper blade on a February morning outside a Midtown garage.
What buyers say about the sales floor
One recent buyer credited the team's straightforwardness over pressure tactics: "Justin on the sales team took time to answer my questions and help me out. I've worked with a couple reps over the years and was never pressured and they were willing to give straight numbers when asked. The service team also is good at communicating and working around your schedule. A rare dealer than cares about its customers beyond just making a quick sale!" Another customer summed up a different visit in a line: "Excellent customer service. Eric was helpful from first call forward." Straight numbers and someone who picks up the phone are exactly what a first EX60 order benefits from — the powertrain and wheel-size questions are new territory even for repeat Volvo owners.
Frequently asked questions
Is the EX60 Plus worth the jump from the Ultra?
It depends what a buyer actually uses day to day. Plus already has the full-size OLED display, wireless CarPlay, and a 21-speaker sound system — the Ultra's additions are mostly comfort and materials (Nappa leather, a bigger sound system, an electrochromic roof) rather than anything that changes how the car drives or charges.
Does the EX60 Plus have all-wheel drive?
Only with the P10 AWD powertrain. The base P6 is rear-wheel drive; AWD is a powertrain choice on Plus, not a trim upgrade, and either is available at this trim level.
What's included with the touchscreen system?
Google built-in — Maps, Assistant, and the Play Store — runs natively on the 15-inch display, with four years of that service included in the purchase. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect alongside it without a cable.
How do I configure a Plus?
Volvo Cars Manhattan can walk through powertrain choice, wheel size, and current allocation timing at 565 11th Avenue, or start the process online through the Roadster Express Store.
