2025 Volvo XC60: What’s new 

Exterior updates 

Based on Volvo’s Scandinavian design philosophy, the refreshed SUV looks clean, confident, and purposeful. It benefits from a new diagonal mesh front grille paired with signature ‘Thor Hammer’ LED headlights. Adding to the bolder appearance are darkened rear lamps and new wheel designs. 

Volvo has also expanded the XC60 colour palette with the addition of two new shades - Forest Lake and Bright Dusk.

Comfort and interior enhancements 

Just like other Volvo models, the XC60 also offers a high level of comfort and luxury. It boasts thoughtfully finished surfaces with every texture chosen with purpose and attention to detail. With the refreshed model, customers get -

• Redesigned seats offering great support for both short and long drives.
• Adding to the sense of quiet comfort is the new air suspension system, which effortlessly absorbs bumps and uneven roads and elevates the driving experience. Notably, the company offers this system as a complimentary feature in the plug-in hybrid variant, for a limited time. 
• The new Volvo XC60 also gets an advanced air purification technology that filters out up to 95% of harmful particles.
• Offering improved ergonomics is the repositioned wireless charging pad.
• Reconfigured cupholders and flexible cargo spaces offer better flow and usability for the day-to-day.

Technology & features

The automaker has also enhanced the SUV’s intuitiveness by updating the head unit. It now comes with an 11.2-inch unit, powered by Google built-in system, offering seamless access to navigation via Google Maps, voice commands through Google Assistant, and a range of familiar apps such as Spotify and Waze.

Complementing the new infotainment system is the Bowers & Wilkins premium sound system that promises a concert-level listening experience.

Drivetrain

The B5 mild hybrid variant is powered by the same 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine and a 48-volt mild hybrid system with an integrated starter generator (ISG) as the outgoing model. The total system output is rated at 263 PS at 6,000 rpm and 390 Nm of torque from 1,800 to 4,800 rpm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission.

The top-spec T8 plug-in hybrid trim, on the other hand, also combines the same 2.0-litre turbo four-pot engine and a rear e-motor, generating a combined output of 462 PS and 709 Nm. It features an e-AWD layout with an 8-speed automatic transmission unit and 18.8 kWh battery, which previously showcased a capacity of 11.6 kWh, offering an electric-only range of 89 km.

Safety

The XC60 continues to deliver class-leading protection and peace of mind for every occupant. Alongside Volvo's renowned safety cage construction, it comes equipped with the latest safety technologies such as adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance and lane keeping assist.

The bookings are now open for the refreshed XC60, with launch expected to happen later this year. For more information on the refreshed XC60 or Volvo Car Malaysia’s range of electrified cars, visit https://www.volvocars.com/my/cars/xc60-hybrid/
