Volvo Car India has launched the facelifted version of the XC60, priced at ₹71.90 lakh (ex-showroom). With this update, Volvo has focused on subtle exterior styling changes and meaningful tech upgrades, while keeping its reliable petrol-hybrid powertrain intact. It remains a solid contender in the luxury midsize SUV segment alongside rivals like the BMW X3, Audi Q5, and Mercedes-Benz GLC.
Design
The XC60 retains its elegant Scandinavian design but now sports some fresh elements. The front grille features a new diagonal-slat pattern, accompanied by a reshaped front bumper that adds a more aggressive touch. Dual-tone 19-inch alloy wheels enhance the side profile, while the rear gets smoked tail-lights for a sportier look.
Volvo has also introduced a new exterior shade called Forest Lake, adding more personality to the overall color palette.
Cabin
Step inside, and the changes become even more noticeable. Taking center stage is a new 11.2-inch freestanding infotainment system, now powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon processor for smoother performance and faster connectivity.
Here’s what else you’ll find inside:
- 12.3-inch fully digital driver display
- Nappa leather upholstery
- Massaging front seats
- Four-zone automatic climate control
- Panoramic sunroof
- Premium Bowers & Wilkins audio system
- 360-degree camera system
The cabin continues to reflect Volvo’s commitment to minimalism, luxury, and practicality all at once.
Safety
Volvo has long been a safety pioneer, and the XC60 facelift carries that reputation forward. The SUV comes packed with Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), including:
- Adaptive cruise control
- Lane-keeping and pilot assist
- Blind-spot detection with auto brake
- Cross-traffic alert
It also includes seven airbags, collision mitigation, and multiple braking aids. These features make the XC60 one of the safest choices in its class.
Engine
Mechanically, there are no changes. Under the hood is the same 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine paired with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. The combined setup produces 250bhp and 360Nm of torque.
All that power is sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission, delivering smooth and confident performance, whether in the city or on highways.
Here’s a quick spec summary:
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Engine | 2.0L turbo-petrol + MHEV |
| Power Output | 250bhp |
| Torque | 360Nm |
| Transmission | 8-speed automatic |
| Drivetrain | All-Wheel Drive (AWD) |
| 0–100 kmph (claimed) | Around 6.8 seconds |
Price
The facelifted Volvo XC60 is available in a single, fully-loaded Ultra trim, priced at ₹71.90 lakh. That’s ₹1.15 lakh more than the outgoing model. Given the tech and feature upgrades, the pricing seems justified, especially for buyers seeking a luxury SUV with cutting-edge safety and comfort features.
While performance remains consistent, Volvo’s focus on in-cabin tech and premium touches will likely appeal to urban professionals and families prioritizing comfort, elegance, and safety.
