Confirmation of launch date in India for the updated Volvo XC60 SUV, set for August 1.
The much-anticipated 2025 Volvo XC60 facelift has been unveiled, bringing a host of updates to the popular SUV. Here's a closer look at the new features and improvements:
**Infotainment System**
The XC60's infotainment system has received a significant overhaul, with a larger 11.2-inch touchscreen display boasting improved pixel density. This enhancement results in a crisper visual experience and a more responsive interface. The system's performance has also been boosted, with graphics rendering ten times faster than before. Powered by Google and Qualcomm's Snapdragon Cockpit Platform, the system offers improved performance and processing speeds. Additionally, the new infotainment system comes with new apps and supports over-the-air updates, enhancing user experience and connectivity.
**Cabin**
Inside the cabin, the XC60's interior décor has been updated with new inlays and highlights, delivering a more exclusive and contemporary experience. The speaker grilles have also been redesigned, offering a subtle aesthetic change. The overall interior layout remains consistent with the previous model, maintaining familiarity while incorporating new elements.
**Powertrain**
While the powertrain remains the same as the outgoing model, pricing has been adjusted slightly upward for certain models, such as the B5 mild-hybrid version in some regions.
**Exterior Updates**
The exterior of the XC60 has been refreshed with a new diagonal grille design and a reshaped front bumper. The tail lights now feature a smoky effect, adding a modern touch. New wheel options and three additional colours (Forest Lake, Aurora Silver, and Mulberry Red) are available, enhancing customisation options.
Overall, the 2025 Volvo XC60 facelift focuses on enhancing aesthetics, technology, and user experience while maintaining the existing powertrain options. However, it's important to note that the XC60 facelift is not yet available for sale in India.
The XC60 will compete with the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Lexus NX 300h, and other vehicles in its segment. Other improvements in the XC60 facelift include an upgraded speaker mesh, Quilted Nordico and Navy Herringbone Weave materials, new cupholders, and improved wireless phone charging. Volvo has also worked on improving sound insulation and air purification technology in the XC60 facelift, and a new Bowers & Wilkins premium audio system has been added to the SUV.
