2027 Volvo EX60 Ultra: New York City Buyers Guide

Quick Answer: The 2027 EX60 Ultra

The EX60 Ultra starts at $65,000 MSRP with the rear-drive P6 motor or $67,350 with the dual-motor P10 AWD, before the $1,395 destination charge — a $6,600 step up from Plus that goes almost entirely into materials and sound rather than anything under the skin. Ventilated Nappa leather, a dimmable electrochromic panoramic roof, a 28-speaker, 1,820-watt Bowers & Wilkins system, heated 2nd-row booster cushions built into the seat, a heated steering wheel, and HD pixel headlights all come standard. It's the trim for a buyer who's already decided on the EX60 and wants the version that feels like it, rather than one still weighing whether to go electric at all.

Where the $6,600 actually goes

Ultra badging aside, the upgrade list reads like a genuine step in materials rather than a features checklist padded with software toggles. The Plus's fixed panoramic roof becomes electrochromic and dimmable at the touch of a button on Ultra — useful on a west-facing Hudson Yards-adjacent parking spot in July. Seating moves to ventilated Nappa leather with heated rear seats standard (a $750 option on Plus), the sound system jumps from 21-speaker Bose to a 28-speaker, 1,820-watt Bowers & Wilkins setup, and the gear selector becomes Volvo's crystal media controller. Wheels grow from 20-inch to 21-inch. The one family-specific touch worth flagging on its own: integrated 2nd-row booster cushions, heated, built directly into the seat rather than a bulky aftermarket add-on — a genuinely useful detail for anyone shuttling a kid to school on the Upper West Side who's aged out of a full car seat but isn't tall enough for a seatbelt alone yet.

Everything from the Plus carries over standard: the 15-inch OLED display, Google built-in with wireless Apple CarPlay, three-zone climate, frameless doors, bidirectional charging, and the NFC smart card key. Ultra isn't a different car underneath the trim badge — it's the same EX60 with the interior turned up.

Powertrain choice on Ultra

Same two options as Plus, at the higher price point. P6 stays rear-drive, 369 horsepower, 354 lb-ft, 0-60 in 5.7 seconds, up to 307 Volvo-estimated miles of range. P10 AWD adds the front motor for 503 combined horsepower, 524 lb-ft, all-wheel drive, 4.4 seconds to 60, and up to 330 miles of range. Given Ultra buyers are already committing to the top trim, P10 AWD is the more common pairing here — the extra traction margin fits the rest of the spec sheet's ambitions, and the price gap between P6 and P10 is a smaller percentage of the total at this trim than it is on Plus.

What Ultra owners at this dealership say about the brand

A buyer who upgraded from an XC90 to a bigger, more optioned Volvo described the sales and finance experience together: "Our experience at [Volvo Cars Manhattan] was excellent. Our main point of contact was with Angela and she was very professional and helpful from the start. It was a smooth and easy transaction. It was also great to work with the finance manager whom I believe was Mustafa... It's a great, high quality dealership... We purchased a 2019 Volvo XC90 R-Design. It came with every option imaginable, including Bowers and Wilkins sound, air suspension, upgraded rims and tires... It's a great SUV and we are happy with the car and the dealership." The Bowers & Wilkins mention isn't a coincidence — it's the same audio partner Volvo carries into the EX60 Ultra, just built for a fully electric cabin instead of a combustion one.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Ultra worth $6,600 over the Plus?

It comes down to whether the buyer cares about cabin materials and sound more than raw value. Nothing about the Ultra changes range, charging speed, or the core technology — it's Nappa leather, a significantly upgraded stereo, a dimmable roof, and heated 2nd-row booster seats layered onto the same car.

Does the Ultra come with heated rear seats?

Yes, standard — along with a heated steering wheel and heated wiper blades, all of which are a $750 Climate Package option on the Plus.

What wheel sizes does the Ultra offer?

21-inch wheels are standard on Ultra (20-inch on Plus), with a 22-inch wheel available as an upgrade on either trim. Larger wheels look sharper but trim a small amount off the estimated range, which is worth weighing for anyone prioritizing maximum range over wheel size.

How do I configure an Ultra?

Volvo Cars Manhattan can walk through powertrain, wheel size, and current allocation timing at 565 11th Avenue, or start the process online through the Roadster Express Store.
