Volvo built its Cross Country line on a simple idea: take a capable vehicle and make it ready for the places pavement doesn't reach. The 2027 EX60 P10 AWD electric carries that tradition into the electric era - pairing 514 km of EPA-estimated range with genuine off-road capability and the kind of Scandinavian design details that make a vehicle feel special. If you're shopping for an electric SUV that can handle more than just city streets and highway commutes, here are 10 things about the EX60 P10 AWD electric that might surprise you.
The EX60 P10 AWD electric is built for buyers who want their electric SUV to go beyond the typical urban-focused EV. It is designed for cottage trips on gravel roads, winter drives through unplowed terrain, and the kind of real-world versatility that defines Volvo's off-road heritage.
The EX60 P10 AWD electric features air suspension technology that adjusts ground clearance between 19.4 cm and 23.4 cm at curb weight. This is not a fixed ride height - the system raises the vehicle when you need extra clearance for rough terrain and lowers it for highway efficiency. The result is a vehicle that adapts to where you're driving rather than forcing you to compromise.
The EX60 P10 AWD electric is rated for wading capability up to 450 mm at walking speed. That is deeper than most crossovers can handle and reflects Volvo's commitment to making this a genuine off-road vehicle. If you encounter flooded roads, deep puddles, or stream crossings on cottage access roads, the EX60 P10 AWD electric is engineered to handle them.
The EX60 P10 AWD electric includes a front trunk (frunk) with up to 85 litres of storage volume. This is separate from the main cargo area and gives you a dedicated space for items you want to keep isolated - muddy boots, charging cables, or groceries you don't want sliding around in the back. It is a practical addition that takes advantage of the electric powertrain's packaging flexibility.
The air suspension is paired with CCD/4-C dampers - semi-active shock absorbers that adjust damping force in real time based on road conditions. This system reads the terrain continuously and adapts the suspension response to keep the ride smooth on rough surfaces without sacrificing stability on pavement. It is the kind of technology that makes a noticeable difference when you're switching between highway driving and gravel roads.
The P10 AWD electric powertrain produces 375 kW (510 hp) and 524 lb-ft of torque from a dual-motor setup. That is enough power to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.7 seconds - quick enough to merge confidently on the 400-series highways and pass slower traffic without hesitation. The torque delivery is instant, which is particularly useful when navigating steep inclines or pulling out of deep snow.
The EX60 P10 AWD electric is built on an 800V electrical architecture that supports DC fast charging at up to 370 kW peak power. Under ideal conditions, the 95 kWh battery can charge from 10-80% in 16 minutes at a 300 kW DC fast charger. This is one of the fastest charging times in the electric SUV segment and makes long-distance trips more practical. The system also includes battery preconditioning, which warms the pack before you arrive at a fast charger to maximise charging speed.
The EX60 P10 AWD electric offers 634 litres of cargo volume behind the second row - enough for a full grocery run plus hockey bags or camping gear. With the second row folded, that expands to 1,647 litres. The cargo floor sits 77.3 cm above the ground, which makes loading easier without requiring a step stool. The rear opening height is 70.4 cm, and the width between the wheel housings is 105.2 cm - dimensions that matter when you're loading bulky items like strollers or coolers.

The EX60 P10 AWD electric is rated to tow up to 2,400 kg (5,292 lb). That is enough capacity to pull a mid-size boat, a camper trailer, or a loaded utility trailer. For an electric SUV, this is a strong towing figure and reflects Volvo's focus on making this variant a genuine utility vehicle. The dual-motor AWD system and instant torque delivery make towing feel stable and controlled.
Volvo describes the EX60 P10 AWD electric's design as inspired by Scandinavian nature, and the details reflect that. The exterior features protective cladding and design elements that reference the rugged landscapes of northern Europe. It is a deliberate aesthetic choice that signals its off-road capability without resorting to aggressive styling.
The 2027 Volvo EX60 P10 AWD electric variant is priced at $77,500 before freight, PDI, fees, and taxes. Volvo positions this as a more accessible entry point compared to some of its plug-in hybrid models, helping close the price gap between electric and hybrid powertrains. Canadian customer deliveries are scheduled to begin in fall 2026, with online configurations and deposits opening this spring.
The 2027 Volvo EX60 P10 AWD electric is built for buyers who need an electric SUV that can handle more than just city driving. It pairs 514 km of EPA-estimated range, adjustable air suspension, genuine wading capability, and strong towing capacity in a package that reflects Volvo's off-road heritage. If you're looking for an EV that can handle gravel roads, winter conditions, and weekend trips beyond the city limits, the EX60 P10 AWD electric delivers.
