Volvo EX60 deliveries in Australia pushed back to the second half of 2027
Why it matters: The delay matters most for novated leases on the P6. It's under the $91,661 luxury car tax threshold, so it's free of fringe benefits tax today, but from 1 April 2027 EVs over $75,000 are proposed to get only a 25% discount, and Cars24 notes the car generally has to be first held and used before that date to keep the full exemption. The P10 is already over the threshold. If you need a mid-size electric luxury SUV sooner, the BMW iX3 is a close rival.
Volvo's new electric mid-size SUV, priced from $86,990 (P6 RWD) and $101,990 (P10 AWD) plus on-road costs when orders opened in May, was due to start arriving here in late 2026. CarExpert and Cars24 now report that Australian cars won't come until the second half of 2027 at the earliest, from Model Year 2028 production, and CarExpert says some buyers may wait until late 2027 or early 2028. Both put it down to a slower-than-planned production ramp-up in Sweden and Volvo putting European buyers first, with around 50,000 orders taken; Volvo has not confirmed an exact Australian arrival date.
