2027 Volvo EX60 overview

The Short Answer

Buyers who prioritize a refined Scandinavian interior, flexible powertrain choices across four trims, and the broadest standard safety suite in this segment will find the EX60 a better fit. Shoppers who want the most outright horsepower, the highest towing ceiling, and the Mercedes-Benz brand identity should consider the GLC Electric. Neither vehicle is a wrong choice in this class, but they serve genuinely different buyer priorities.

Performance and Powertrain

The GLC Electric wins on raw output. Its dual permanently excited synchronous motors combine for 483 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, reaching 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. That is a meaningful margin over the EX60's peak of 369 hp and 354 lb-ft.

Where the EX60 offers flexibility, the GLC Electric offers a single configuration. The EX60 lineup spans RWD-only P6 trims for buyers focused on maximum efficiency, and AWD P10 trims for those who want all-weather traction. Every EX60 rides on Volvo's 800-volt SPA3 architecture, which supports fast DC charging through a native NACS port, meaning no adapter is needed at Tesla Supercharger stations.

The GLC Electric also supports 800-volt charging and uses NACS, with a peak DC charging rate of 330 kW that allows a 10-to-80-percent charge in roughly 22 minutes. The EX60's 19.2 kW onboard AC charger with bi-directional capability adds a practical edge for home energy use. Breathe Charge battery preconditioning software on the EX60 helps the battery reach optimal temperature before DC fast charging sessions.

On towing, the GLC Electric holds an advantage at 5,291 lbs versus the EX60's 4,500 lbs.

Interior, Space, and Cargo

Both SUVs seat five and share similar footprints. The EX60 measures 189.1 inches long with a 116.9-inch wheelbase. The GLC Electric stretches slightly longer at 190.8 inches.

Interior room is genuinely close. The EX60 delivers 41.7 inches of front legroom and 37.4 inches of rear legroom, along with 56.6 inches of front shoulder room. The GLC Electric posts 41.4 inches of front legroom and 57.2 inches of front shoulder room. Rear interior dimensions for the GLC Electric are listed as TBA in its published specs.

Cargo tells an interesting story. The GLC Electric edges the EX60 behind the second row, 20.1 cu ft to 18.5 cu ft. Fold the seats, though, and the EX60 reverses the gap with 64.3 cu ft against the GLC Electric's 61.4 cu ft. The EX60 also adds a 2.1-cu-ft frunk. The GLC Electric's frunk measures 4.5 cu ft.

The EX60 Ultra trim brings Nappa leather with ventilated front seats, Bowers and Wilkins audio, electrochromic dimmable panoramic roof, and 28-speaker sound. The EX60 Plus trim delivers Nordico upholstery, Bose Premium 21-speaker audio, and a fixed panoramic moonroof. The GLC Electric's standard interior uses MB-Tex upholstery with heated power front seats; leather and ventilated seats are optional upgrades.

Technology and Safety

Both vehicles run on modern operating systems with Google integration and over-the-air update capability. The EX60 pairs a 15-inch OLED touchscreen with an 11.4-inch digital instrument cluster, Google Built-in, Gemini AI, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. Every trim includes a digital key via smartphone.

The GLC Electric uses fourth-generation MBUX with a 10.3-inch gauge cluster and 14-inch touchscreen as standard. An optional 39.1-inch MBUX Hyperscreen spans the full cabin width. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are listed as Digital Extras on the GLC Electric, meaning they depend on a subscription period rather than being permanently standard. The MBUX Navigation with Electric Intelligence system is included as a seven-year Digital Extra.

On safety, the EX60 includes Pilot Assist semi-autonomous highway driving, forward collision warning with pedestrian and bicyclist detection, emergency steering assist, blind spot intervention, front and rear cross-traffic alert with automatic braking, road-sign recognition, driver-attention monitor, and a 360-degree parking camera, all as standard equipment on every trim.

The GLC Electric provides lane keeping, blind spot assist, stop sign and traffic light warning, brake assist, emergency stop function, evasive steering, and a reversing camera as standard. Distance Assist DISTRONIC, the 360-degree camera system, and parking assist are listed as Digital Extras, meaning they are included for a standard subscription period rather than permanently.

Value and Ownership

The EX60 comes with a 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty as Volvo's standard new vehicle limited coverage. No comparable warranty figure was published for the GLC Electric at the time of writing.

Standard content depth is a meaningful point of separation. Many features that cost extra on the GLC Electric, including wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, the advanced driver-assist suite, and the 360-degree camera, come standard on the EX60. The GLC Electric's Digital Extras model can expand capability over time through subscriptions, but it also means some features require ongoing payment after the initial period.

Bi-directional charging on the EX60 adds long-term utility by allowing the vehicle to send power back to a home or compatible device. The GLC Electric does not list bi-directional charging in its published specs.

Both vehicles use NACS natively, so owners have access to the Tesla Supercharger network without an adapter. The EX60 also ships with a J1772-to-NACS AC adapter for Level 2 public charging compatibility.

Which One Should You Buy

Choose the 2027 Volvo EX60 if:

you want a broad standard safety package with no subscription strings attached, prefer Scandinavian interior design with strong standard tech, value bi-directional charging for home energy flexibility, and want to choose between RWD and AWD configurations across four trim levels.

Choose the 2027 Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric if:

maximum horsepower and acceleration matter most, you want the highest towing capacity in this segment, the optional MBUX Hyperscreen or Burmester audio is a priority, or the Mercedes-Benz brand identity is part of the decision.

For Savannah buyers, the EX60 is a genuine premium choice that puts more safety and technology on the standard sheet rather than behind a paywall.
