This guide sorts it out. It covers the new Volvo models for 2026 and 2027, what was dropped, what is coming next, how Volvo’s new model names work, and which model fits which buyer.
Prices, model years, and plans change quickly. Details reflect reports available in late October 2026. Confirm current information with a Volvo dealer.

Volvo EX60: The Biggest New Volvo Model
The EX60 was unveiled in January 2026, and US orders opened in May. It is built in Gothenburg, Sweden, and sold in the US as a 2027 model.
Key facts:
- Price: Starts at about $58,400 before destination, or about $59,795 including destination for the P6 Plus. Higher trims reach the high $60,000s.
- Range: The P6 Plus is rated up to 307 miles by the EPA. Higher battery versions are claimed to reach about 330 miles, and the top P12 AWD claims around 400 miles.
- Charging: An 800 volt system that can add about 165 miles in 10 minutes, and a built in NACS port for Tesla Superchargers.
- Size: About the same as a Tesla Model Y.
- Trims: P6 (rear drive), P10 AWD, and P12 AWD. A Cross Country version is planned.
The EX60 is the first Volvo built on the new SPA3 platform, and the company has called it a game changer for range, charging, and price.
Other New Volvo Electric Models
- EX90: For 2026 it gained a more powerful 670 horsepower Twin Motor Performance version, Volvo’s most powerful car, and a more affordable single motor version starting near $78,000.
- EX30: Sold in the US for 2025 and 2026, including a Single Motor at $38,950 and the rugged Cross Country, but Volvo has since discontinued it in the US.
- EX40: The electric XC40, from roughly $56,500 to $58,000 for 2026, ending in the US.
- ES90: An electric sedan sold in other markets, but reports say it is not coming to the US.
- EX50: A planned entry electric crossover, expected under $50,000 and built on SPA3.
With the EX30, EC40, and EX40 gone, the EX60 is currently Volvo’s cheapest electric SUV in the US.
New Volvo Models 2025 vs 2026
- 2025: The EX30 arrived as Volvo’s smallest and cheapest EV, the EX90 began deliveries, and the XC90 received a mid year update.
- 2026: The EX30 gained Single Motor and Cross Country versions, the EX90 got more power, and the XC60 received a significant refresh with a faster infotainment system, new wheels, and darker rear lights.
If you are shopping for a leftover 2025 or 2026 model, you may find discounts, but check whether that model is being discontinued.
Gas and Plug In Hybrid Volvos: XC60, XC90 and XC40
- XC60: The best seller. Production of US bound cars moves to Ridgeville, South Carolina, starting around the end of 2026 or early 2027. The 2027 starts around $49,700 and climbs to about $72,000 depending on trim.
- XC90: Three row SUV with mild hybrid and plug in hybrid choices. Pricing runs from roughly $61,000 to $69,000 at the low end, up to about $95,000 for the top plug in hybrid. Prices vary by source and trim.
- XC40: Volvo’s compact SUV will skip the 2027 model year and return as a refreshed 2028 model with new front and rear ends and a new interior.
What Volvo Dropped in the US
Volvo has become an SUV only brand in the United States:
- S60 sedan: Production ended in South Carolina.

- V60 Cross Country: The last Volvo wagon sold here, ended in April 2026.

How to Read Volvo’s New Model Names
The old article on this page was about Volvo preparing new model names. Today the system is clearer:
- XC: Gas and plug in hybrid SUVs (XC40, XC60, XC90).
- EX: Electric SUVs (EX30, EX40, EX60, EX90).
- ES: Electric sedan (ES90).
- EC: Electric coupe style crossover (EC40, now gone in the US).
- Number: Size and position in the lineup. Higher numbers are larger and more expensive.
- B5, B6: Mild hybrid gas engines.
- T8: Plug in hybrid.
- P6, P10, P12: Electric powertrains on the new EX60, with higher numbers meaning bigger batteries and more power.
- Recharge: Older name for plug in and electric versions, now replaced by the E prefix for fully electric models.
Which New Volvo Is Right for You?
- You want an electric midsize SUV: EX60.
- You want a three row electric SUV: EX90 (check pricing and software maturity).
- You want the best seller with gas or hybrid: XC60.
- You need three rows with gas or plug in hybrid: XC90.
- You want a compact Volvo: XC40 now, or wait for the 2028 refresh.
- You want a cheaper electric Volvo: Wait for the EX50, or look at a discounted leftover.
- You want a wagon or sedan: There are no new ones in the US.
The New Model Risk Check (What Most Guides Skip)
Most guides list what is new and stop. When a model is brand new, ask these six questions:
- Is this the first model year? First years often have software or build quality issues. Reviewers have noted the EX30 and EX90 launches were bumpy and hoped the EX60 would be smoother.
- Is the model staying? The EX30 and EX40 show that Volvo EVs can disappear from the US market.
- Where is it built? Tariffs and trade policy can change prices and availability.
- Is there incentive support? The federal EV tax credit has ended, so check state and utility incentives.
- Is the warranty strong? Volvo’s basic warranty is typically four years or 50,000 miles, so check current terms.
- Can you wait? If a refreshed version is coming soon, waiting may get you a better car.
Final Thoughts
New Volvo models are more focused than before. The company is betting on SUVs, and on the EX60 as its key electric model. For most US buyers, the XC60 is the safe choice, the EX60 is the exciting new one, and the EX50 is worth watching. Check the model year, the risk of the model being dropped, and incentives before you buy, and confirm current pricing with a dealer.
