For the upcoming model year, the XC60 receives a significant refresh, featuring key updates in user experience, design and comfort along with a faster and more responsive infotainment system. The broader model range also gets a number of significant enhancements.
Since its introduction in 2017, the XC60 has been Volvo Cars’ top-selling model and one of the best-selling plug-in hybrids in Europe. More than one and a half million XC60s have been sold across the globe, and 2024 marked a sales record.
The refreshed XC60 is available to order today in certain countries. The availability and timing of the 2026 model year versions will differ from market to market and will be available to order in Ireland from 5th March 2025.
New-generation user experience, with a larger screen
The refreshed XC60 comes equipped with Volvo Cars’ new-generation, new-look user experience, designed to be a safe and enjoyable way to interact with the car’s central infotainment screen, more focused and personalised than its predecessor, with several Google services built-in.
As previously announced, this year all Volvo cars will come from our factories with this new UX. In addition, around 2.5 million customers around the globe will get it on their cars built as early as 2020 via a simple over-the-air-update happening later this year.
A larger 11.2-inch, free-standing central touchscreen further enhances the experience in the XC60, opening a world of new features, apps and over-the-air updates. The pixel density is increased by 21 per cent, resulting in an even crisper display.
Faster, more responsive infotainment system
Thanks to the next-generation Snapdragon Cockpit Platform from Qualcomm Technologies, the infotainment system with Google built-in is more than twice as fast as the outgoing system, with ten times faster graphics generation. The result is a more responsive infotainment system that displays the right information at the right time to reduce driver distraction and enhance safety.
Beautifully designed and smartly planned
The exterior of the refreshed XC60 brings a more contemporary look to the premium five-seater. The new air intake, with Volvo Cars’ iconic iron mark, reflects the recent updates to the XC90. The refreshed XC60 also comes with new wheel options and darker rear lights.
The new model year introduces two new colours, Forest Lake and Aurora Silver, both available on the refreshed XC60. In addition, Mulberry Red will be available on the XC60 for the first time.
In terms of materials, a mix of refreshed interior decors, inlays and new premium materials such as Quilted Nordico and Navy Herringbone Weave offers a more exclusive and contemporary experience. With smart storage, new cupholders, an improved wireless phone charger and a flexible and roomy load compartment, the interior of the XC60 is versatile and practical. The refreshed XC60 is also equipped with Volvo Cars’ state-of-the art air purification technology for enhanced well-being.
