If you are shopping for new Volvo cars, this is one of the most interesting times in years to do it. Volvo has launched its most important new electric SUV in a long time, updated its best-selling hybrids, and narrowed its lineup so each model has a clearer purpose. That makes choosing easier, but only if you know what has changed.
At McDonald Volvo Cars, our family-owned team has helped Littleton drivers through Volvo lineup changes for 30 years. In this guide, we explain which new Volvo models are available this year, how they compare, what is coming next, and how to pick the right one for life along the Front Range. You will find clear tables for powertrains, trims, safety, technology, and financing so you can compare options quickly.
McDonald Volvo Cars is an authorized Volvo retailer. Model availability, pricing, specifications, and offers change often. Please confirm current details with our team before making a decision.
What New Volvo Models Can You Buy This Year?
Many shoppers ask a simple question. What does the Volvo lineup look like right now? The short answer is that the current Volvo lineup is built around SUVs, with three ways to power them: gas mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric. Most models come in two or more of these versions, so you can choose a vehicle by size first and then by how you want to fuel it.
A mild hybrid uses a small electric system to support the gas engine and improve efficiency. A plug-in hybrid pairs a gas engine with a larger battery you can charge at home for short electric-only trips. A fully electric vehicle (EV) runs only on battery power and never needs gas.
| Model | Type | Seating | Powertrain Options | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EX60 (all-new) | Midsize SUV | 5 | Fully electric | Drivers ready for a long-range EV |
| XC60 | Midsize SUV | 5 | Mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid | Versatile everyday luxury |
| XC90 | Large SUV | 6 or 7 | Mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid | Families and third-row needs |
| EX90 | Large SUV | 6 or 7 | Fully electric | Electric three-row seating |
| XC40 | Compact SUV | 5 | Mild hybrid | City driving and easy parking |
| EX40 | Compact SUV | 5 | Fully electric | Compact electric commuting |
Some models, such as the compact EX30 and the V60 Cross Country wagon, may still be found in remaining inventory, but Volvo's U.S. focus has moved firmly toward its SUV range. Availability varies, so it is always worth checking current stock.
The All-New Volvo EX60: The Biggest Arrival of the Year
So what is the headline model this year? The Volvo EX60 is an all-new, fully electric midsize SUV and the electric counterpart to the popular XC60. It fills the gap between the compact EX40 and the three-row EX90, giving families a two-row EV with real range and room for gear.
The EX60 also introduces Volvo's next generation of design and software. It runs on a new core computing system and includes Google Gemini, an AI assistant that can help with navigation, settings, and everyday questions. Like your phone, the vehicle can improve over time through over-the-air software updates.
EX60 Powertrains, Range, and Performance
Volvo offers the EX60 in three powertrains, and each one suits a different kind of driver. Here is how they compare based on Volvo's published estimates.
| Powertrain | Drive | Horsepower | Estimated Range | 0 to 60 mph | Expected Deliveries |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P6 | Rear-wheel drive | 369 hp | Up to 307 miles (EPA est.) | 5.7 sec | 2027 |
| P10 AWD | All-wheel drive | 503 hp | Up to 330 miles (EPA est.) | 4.4 sec | Fall 2026 |
| P12 AWD | All-wheel drive | 670 hp | Up to 400 miles (Volvo est.) | 3.8 sec | 2027 |
All three versions use 800-volt technology, which allows fast charging. Under ideal conditions, the P6 and P10 can charge from 10 to 80 percent in about 16 minutes at a compatible fast charger. A built-in NACS charging port also gives drivers access to a large network of fast chargers across North America.
EX60 Trims and Practical Features
The EX60 comes in Plus and Ultra trims, with a starting MSRP of $59,795 according to Volvo. Inside, it offers up to 64.3 cubic feet of cargo space with seats folded, plus a small front trunk. Families will appreciate the available integrated booster cushions in the second row, which can also be heated.
For Littleton drivers, the P10 AWD is often the natural fit. All-wheel drive adds confidence on snowy mornings and mountain drives, and the P10 is rated to tow up to 4,500 pounds for small trailers or gear.
Gas and Plug-In Hybrid Volvo SUVs
Not every driver is ready to go fully electric, and that is perfectly fine. Volvo's XC models continue to offer gas mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid power, which work well for drivers who take long road trips or do not have home charging yet.
Volvo XC90: The Family Flagship
The Volvo XC90 is a large luxury SUV with seating for six or seven passengers. It remains one of the most popular choices for families in Highlands Ranch, Centennial, and Castle Rock who need a third row for carpools and weekend trips.
For this model year, Volvo simplified the XC90 lineup. The Plus trim is now the starting point, and it adds standard Harman Kardon premium audio and second-row sunshades. Buyers can choose mild hybrid power or a plug-in hybrid with an EPA-estimated electric range of up to 33 miles, which covers many daily commutes without using gas.
Volvo XC60: Midsize Versatility
The XC60 is Volvo's best-selling SUV, and it balances comfort, size, and efficiency well. Like the XC90, its lineup now starts with the Plus trim and includes standard Harman Kardon audio. It is offered in mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions.
Production of the XC60 is moving to Volvo's South Carolina plant, which reflects how important this model is to American buyers. If you like the XC60's size but want to go electric, the new EX60 gives you a similar footprint with a fully electric powertrain.
Volvo XC40: Compact and Easy to Live With
The XC40 is a compact luxury SUV built for drivers who want Volvo comfort in a smaller, easier-to-park package. It works well for commuting into Denver or navigating busy lots around Aspen Grove and Southwest Plaza. The current model continues on sale while Volvo prepares future updates.
Fully Electric Options Beyond the EX60
Wondering what other electric Volvo SUVs are available? The answer depends on how much space you need. The EX90 is a three-row electric SUV for families who want zero tailpipe emissions without giving up seating. Volvo made major updates to improve its charging performance and software.
The EX40 is a compact electric SUV and the battery-powered twin of the XC40. It suits drivers with shorter daily commutes and access to home charging. If you are curious about the small EX30, ask our team whether any remaining new units are available.
What Is Coming Next From Volvo?
Volvo has already announced the next big step for its hybrids. The 2028 XC60 T8 plug-in hybrid is expected to launch in early 2027 with a larger battery and an estimated 78 miles of electric range. The 2028 XC90 T8 is expected to follow soon after with an estimated 73 miles of electric range. The updated XC60 also gets a refreshed front end and new safety features, including an improved 360-degree camera.
This matters if you are deciding whether to buy now or wait. Current models offer proven technology and available inventory, while upcoming models will bring more electric range.

Which Safety and Technology Features Should You Know About?
Safety has defined Volvo for decades, and every new model carries that commitment forward. Pilot Assist is Volvo's driver support system that helps with steering, acceleration, and braking on clearly marked roads. It reduces fatigue on longer drives like trips up I-70.
| Safety Feature | What It Does | Where You Will Find It |
|---|---|---|
| Collision avoidance with automatic braking | Helps detect vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists and can brake automatically | Across the lineup |
| Pilot Assist | Supports steering, speed, and following distance | Across the lineup, with lane change assist on EX60 |
| Multi-adaptive safety belt | Adjusts belt load based on occupant size and crash conditions | EX60 front seats |
| Lane keeping assistance | Helps keep you centered in your lane | Across the lineup |
| 360-degree camera | Gives a bird's-eye view for parking | Available on many models |
Technology is just as important to modern buyers. Volvo vehicles use Google built-in, which brings Google Maps, Google Assistant, and apps directly into the center screen.
| Technology | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| Google built-in | Navigation and voice control without a phone |
| Apple CarPlay and Android Auto | Use your phone's familiar apps |
| Over-the-air updates | New features without a service visit |
| Volvo Cars app | Remote climate, lock control, and charging status |
| Premium audio | Harman Kardon now standard on XC60 and XC90 Plus |
How to Choose the Right New Volvo for Colorado Driving
Choosing a Volvo starts with how you actually drive. Do you commute daily on C-470? Do you ski on weekends? Do you need room for kids and sports gear? Your answers usually point clearly to one or two models.
| Your Lifestyle | Recommended Models | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Growing family | XC90, EX90 | Third-row seating and cargo space |
| Ski and mountain trips | EX60 P10 AWD, XC90 | All-wheel drive confidence and range |
| Daily commuter with home charging | EX60, EX40 | Low running costs and quiet driving |
| Long road trips, no home charging yet | XC60, XC90 mild hybrid | Easy refueling anywhere |
| City and suburban driving | XC40, EX40 | Compact size and easy parking |
Cold weather also deserves a mention. EV range can drop in freezing temperatures, so Littleton drivers should plan for some winter range loss. Features like battery preconditioning, which warms the battery before fast charging, help reduce the impact.
Financing, Leasing, and Ownership Benefits
How should you pay for a new Volvo? It depends on how long you plan to keep it and how many miles you drive. Our finance center can walk you through each option and help you compare payments side by side.
| Option | Best For | Key Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Finance (buy) | Long-term owners | You build equity and own the vehicle |
| Lease | Drivers who like new technology often | Lower monthly payments with mileage limits |
| Trade-in | Current vehicle owners | Can lower your purchase price |
| Online buying | Busy shoppers | Start the process from home |
Volvo ownership also includes valuable coverage. Here is a general overview, though terms should always be confirmed for your specific vehicle.
| Coverage | Typical Terms |
|---|---|
| New vehicle limited warranty | 4 years or 50,000 miles |
| Complimentary scheduled maintenance | 3 years or 36,000 miles |
| EV battery component warranty | 8 years or 100,000 miles |
