For the upcoming model year, Volvo has given the XC60 a significant refresh, elevating its user experience, design, and comfort while introducing a faster, more responsive infotainment system. These updates aim to solidify the XC60’s status as Volvo’s best-selling model, which has achieved over 1.5 million sales worldwide since its debut in 2017. In 2024, the SUV even set a new sales record, reaffirming its strong market presence.
Next-Generation Infotainment and User Experience
The refreshed XC60 now features Volvo’s latest user experience, designed for safer and more intuitive interactions. A key highlight is the new 11.2-inch free-standing central touchscreen, offering a 21% increase in pixel density for sharper visuals. This updated system integrates multiple Google services* and allows for over-the-air updates**, extending its functionality beyond factory settings.
Powering this upgraded system is the next-generation Snapdragon Cockpit Platform from Qualcomm Technologies*, which makes the infotainment system more than twice as fast as before, with ten times faster graphics rendering. The result is a more responsive and seamless interface that enhances both convenience and safety.
Refined Exterior and New Color Options
The XC60’s refreshed exterior design aligns with Volvo’s latest styling language, featuring a redesigned air intake that incorporates the brand’s signature iron mark, along with new wheel designs and darker rear lights for a modernized look.
Volvo has also introduced three new colours for the 2026 XC60:
- Forest Lake
- Aurora Silver
- Mulberry Red (available for the first time on the XC60)
Premium Interior with Enhanced Practicality
Inside, the XC60 blends luxury and practicality, offering updated interior materials such as Quilted Nordico and Navy Herringbone Weave for a more refined ambience. Smart storage solutions, redesigned cupholders, an improved wireless phone charger, and a spacious load compartment make the cabin more versatile and functional.
Enhanced Comfort and Sound Experience
Volvo has improved cabin quietness, further elevating the XC60’s already renowned ride comfort. The model offers:
- Optional air suspension for an ultra-smooth ride
- Laminated windows for improved sound insulation
- Advanced air purification technology for a cleaner in-cabin environment
For audiophiles, the Bowers & Wilkins High Fidelity system now features a redesigned speaker mesh, delivering studio-quality sound that faithfully replicates music as the artist intended.
With these substantial updates, Volvo ensures the XC60 remains a top contender in the premium SUV segment, offering a blend of advanced technology, luxury, and practicality.
