2027 Volvo EX60 Ultra: Brooklyn Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: 2027 Volvo EX60 Ultra
The Ultra tops the EX60 range at $65,000 MSRP with the P6 powertrain or $67,350 with P10 AWD, a $6,600 step up from the Plus on either powertrain, before the $1,395 destination charge. The premium buys ventilated Nappa leather with heated rear seats, a 28-speaker, 1,820-watt Bowers & Wilkins sound system, a dimmable electrochromic panoramic roof, integrated heated 2nd-row booster cushions, a heated steering wheel, and 21-inch wheels with self-cleaning HD pixel headlights. It does not buy more range, more power, or faster charging — those figures are identical to the Plus on the same powertrain, which is the honest starting point for this guide.
Where the extra $6,600 actually goes
Volvo's family-first instincts show up clearly on the Ultra. The integrated 2nd-row booster cushions — now available with heating — fold into the seat itself rather than sitting as a separate accessory clogging the trunk, which matters twice a day at school pickup and is easy to underrate until you've lived without it, particularly for a family juggling car seats between a Brooklyn apartment and a curbside parking spot. Cabin materials step up too: ventilated Nappa leather up front, heated in the rear, under a panoramic roof that goes from clear to opaque at the touch of a button instead of staying fixed. A crystal media controller replaces the standard gear selector as a small design flourish, and four-way power lumbar support in the front seats is the kind of thing you don't notice until a long BQE stretch reminds you it's there.
The audio upgrade is the single biggest jump on the spec sheet: 28 speakers and 1,820 watts from Bowers & Wilkins, replacing the Plus's 21-speaker Bose setup. It's a genuinely different listening experience, not a marketing number, and it's paired with 21-inch wheels and HD pixel headlights that include self-cleaning lenses — a real advantage on salted city streets in February, when regular headlight lenses cake over and dim within a single commute.
P6 or P10 AWD on the Ultra — same math as the Plus
The powertrain choice carries over unchanged from the Plus: P6 at $65,000 with 369 horsepower and up to 307 miles of EPA-estimated range, or P10 AWD at $67,350 with 503 combined horsepower, all-wheel drive, and up to 330 miles. Buyers who've already settled on Ultra trim for the cabin experience should pick the powertrain the same way Plus buyers do — based on whether all-wheel-drive traction and quicker acceleration are worth $2,350, not on anything Ultra-specific.
Who the Ultra premium is actually for
It's worth being direct here: the Ultra is a materials-and-features upgrade, not a performance or range upgrade, and buyers cross-shopping strictly on EV fundamentals may find the Plus does everything they need for $6,600 less. Where the Ultra earns its price is with families who'll use the booster cushions regularly, anyone who genuinely cares about a top-tier sound system, and buyers who simply want the nicest cabin available on this platform without waiting on the P12 flagship to arrive. It's the kind of finish level reviewers describe when a Volvo Cars Brooklyn purchase goes smoothly from floor to delivery: "It was the single most comfortable car-buying experience I have ever had. No bad-mouthing other brands, no 'yeah yeah yeah-ing' me with my questions or considerations. They gave me the overviews of the service add-ons, with ZERO pressure or guilting into buying... No extra hidden fees, agreements in plain language, and financing options laid out right in front of you." That's the standard a premium-trim decision should be made against — no pressure, no surprises at the finance desk.
Frequently asked questions
How much is the 2027 EX60 Ultra?
MSRP from $65,000 (P6) or $67,350 (P10 AWD), plus the $1,395 destination charge, New York City sales tax, and fees. The pricing guide covers what that adds up to at checkout.
Does the Ultra have more range or power than the Plus?
No. Range, horsepower, torque, 0-60 time, and charging speed are all identical to the Plus on the matching powertrain. The Ultra premium is entirely about cabin materials, audio, the roof, and styling details.
Is the sound system upgrade worth it?
If music quality matters to you day to day, yes — 28 speakers and 1,820 watts from Bowers & Wilkins is a meaningfully different system, not an incremental spec bump. If audio isn't a priority, the Plus's 21-speaker Bose setup is already well above entry-level.
What are the integrated booster cushions, exactly?
A pair of built-in, height-boosting cushions in the 2nd row, now available with heating, designed to give younger kids a proper seatbelt fit without a separate car seat cluttering the back row. They're Ultra-exclusive.
Can I order an Ultra now?
Yes, configuration is open at Volvo Cars Brooklyn. As with the Plus, confirm current build and delivery timing with the team since this is the EX60's first model year on sale.
The bottom line
The Ultra is the EX60 dressed for the showroom floor rather than the spec sheet — leather, a serious stereo, a roof that dims on command, and family details that show up in daily use rather than in a brochure. It's a fair upgrade for buyers who'll use those features regularly; buyers focused purely on range and price should give the Plus guide a look first, since the two trims drive identically on the same powertrain.
MSRP figures exclude the $1,395 destination charge plus taxes, title, registration, and dealer-installed options; the dealer sets the actual selling price.
