What's New for 2027

The headline update for the 2027 XC60 is the T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain, which now produces 401 hp and 494 lb-ft of torque, pushing the 0-60 mph sprint to 4.6 seconds. The T8 system uses an 18.8 kWh battery that charges fully in approximately 3 hours on a two-phase 16A connection, and it carries an EPA-estimated 69 MPGe gasoline equivalent value.

Who It's For / vs the Prior Year

Buyers who drove the 2026 XC60 will notice the T8 powertrain's power jump is the most significant change: 401 hp and a 4.6-second 0-60 time make it the strongest production XC60 yet. The 35 miles of electric range now covers a full Savannah-area commute round trip for many buyers without touching the fuel tank.

For buyers prioritizing the B5 powertrain, the 2027 continues the mild-hybrid formula with no reduction in standard content, making it a strong fit if plug-in charging infrastructure is not a priority.
