Volvo XC60 Facelift: Interior Changes
The cabin retains most of the dashboard layout but you get an upgraded speaker mesh and new premium materials including Quilted Nordico and Navy Herringbone Weave. There’s a new 11.2-inch freestanding touchscreen infotainment system with a new UX. The infotainment screen is now powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon Cockpit Platform processor, which Volvo says offers better image quality, over-the-air (OTA) updates and faster overall processing. Other improvements include new cupholders, smarter storage options, and improved wireless phone charging.
Volvo says the XC60 facelift’s cabin is quieter than before and the automaker will offer an optional air suspension and laminated windows. The SUV will also get air purification technology and a Bowers & Wilkins premium audio system for an enhanced in-cabin experience.
Volvo XC60 Facelift: Engines
Volvo has not specified any changes to the powertrain. The SUV is likely to carry over the same engine options, which include turbo petrol and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) motors. There’s the 2.0-litre turbo petrol with 246 bhp and 350 Nm, paired with mild-hybrid technology, which is available in the Indian market. Volvo also offers the 2.0-litre twin-turbo PHEV tuned for 449 bhp and 640 Nm.
The Volvo XC60 is one of the top sellers globally for the brand and is a popular choice in India. Expect the facelifted version to arrive sometime next year with all the latest updates. Volvo plans to launch at least one EV in India every year and is planning to bring the EX30 and EX90 models soon. Meanwhile, the Volvo XC90 facelift is slated to go on sale in India on March 4, 2025.
