The 2027 Volvo XC60 T8 plug-in hybrid delivers 401 hp and up to 35 miles of electric-only range. The mild-hybrid B5 powertrain produces 247 hp with AWD standard and a 26 MPG combined rating. This page covers every trim, spec, and feature change, plus current inventory at Volvo Cars Savannah.

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. For buyers who prefer gasoline-primary driving, the B5 mild hybrid continues with the 48V system intact.

Eight exterior colors are available for 2027: Crystal White, Onyx Black, Denim Blue, Vapour Grey, Bright Dusk, Mulberry Red, Aurora Silver, and Forest Lake.

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.
