For the upcoming model year, the XC60 is getting a major refresh with enhanced user experience, modernised design, improved comfort, and a more responsive infotainment system.

Since its introduction in 2017, the XC60 has been our 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 achieved a record-breaking number of sales.
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.
“With its cutting-edge user experience, modernised Scandinavian design, improved comfort, and even more luxurious interior, the XC60 sets the standard even higher for mid-size SUVs,” says Erik Severinson, chief product and strategy officer at Volvo Cars. “The improvements focus on what we believe matters most to our customers. These upgrades ensure a more enjoyable and exclusive experience, with the car set to get better over time thanks to over-the-air updates.”

The availability and timing of the 2026 model year versions will differ from market to market. However, you can already order the refreshed XC60 in certain countries.
New-generation user experience, with a larger screen
The refreshed XC60 comes equipped with Volvo Cars’ new-generation, new-look user experience – we call it Volvo Car UX. It is designed to be a safe and enjoyable way to interact with the car’s infotainment system, being more focused and personalised than its predecessor, with several Google services built-in*.
As previously announced, this year all Volvo cars will leave 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.

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. Options often vary across markets, so check with your local market representative for availability.
Superior comfort and one of the best-sounding audio systems for a car
Thanks to an even quieter cabin and our legendary seat comfort as standard, riding in the XC60 is more comfortable than ever before. For an even more luxurious ride, there is the optional air suspension and laminated windows. The refreshed XC60 is also equipped with our state-of-the art air purification technology for enhanced well-being.
For exceptional car audio, the XC60 is available with the Bowers & Wilkins High Fidelity system – with new speaker mesh design – which faithfully replicates music just as the artist intended, making it one of the best-sounding car audio systems.
