climate controls remain touchscreen-based. No, that still isn't better than physical buttons. The EX60 arrives generously equipped. Some features are practical, others indulgent. The 60/40 split load floor falls firmly into the first category. Volvo's engineers clearly considered dog owners, ensuring access to the underfloor storage remains possible even with a crate installed. The panoramic glass roof contributes additional headroom, while Ultra models add electrochromic functionality that allows the glass to switch between transparent and opaque at the touch of a button. The standard 21-speaker audio system is likely excellent, but Volvo's optional Bowers & Wilkins setup remains one of the most satisfying sound systems in the business. Perhaps most impressive is the pricing. An EX60 Plus starts at the same $77,500 as an equivalent XC60 plug-in hybrid. Destination charges make the EV slightly more expensive on paper, but only marginally so. Smooth, refined, practical, and only set to improve over time, the 2027 Volvo EX60 is Volvo's strongest argument yet for saying goodbye to gasoline.
