Since its introduction in 2017, the XC60 has been Volvo’s 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.
Now for 2025, Volvo has announced a significant refresh for the XC60, 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, Volvo has said.
The refreshed XC60 comes equipped with Volvo’s new-generation, new-look user experience (UX), designed to be more focused and personalised than its predecessor, with several Google services built-in. As previously announced, this year all Volvo cars will come from its factories with this new UX.
A larger 11.2-inch, free-standing central touchscreen further enhances the experience in the XC60, comprising new features, apps and over-the-air updates. Volvo says the pixel density is increased by 21 per cent, resulting in an even crisper display.
According to Volvo, the exterior of the refreshed XC60 brings a more contemporary look to the premium five-seater. The new air intake, with Volvo’s 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 ‘urora 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, Volvo says 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 said to be versatile and practical.
Volvo notes that the XC60 now has an even quieter cabin with upgraded seats as standard. For an even more luxurious ride, there is the optional air suspension and laminated windows. The refreshed XC60 is also equipped with Volvo’s air purification technology for enhanced well-being.
For better car audio, the XC60 is available with the Bowers & Wilkins High Fidelity system – with new speaker mesh design.
The refreshed Volvo XC60 will be available to order in Ireland from 5th March 2025.
