Volvo XC60 facelift: Everything you need to know

The biggest cosmetic change on the Volvo XC60 facelift is its redesigned front grille. The vertical slats on this grille have been replaced by diagonal units, creating a mesh pattern. The LED DRLs carry forward the Thor’s Hammer design language. The changes are minimal along the sides as well, the most notable one being a new design for the 19-inch alloy wheels. Unlike the international model, the India-spec XC60 does not get smoked tail lamps.

Inside, the Volvo XC60 facelift gets a larger touchscreen infotainment display than the outgoing model. This vertically aligned, freestanding 11.2-inch display has built-in Google services. It is powered by the Snapdragon Cockpit Platform from Qualcomm. In addition to the infotainment system, the SUV features a 12.3-inch digital driver’s display. Other features include a 15-speaker Bowers and Wilkins audio system with a 1,410W output and Nappa leather seats with a massaging function.

On the safety front, the Volvo XC60 facelift boasts 8 airbags, ABS with EBD, a 360-degree camera, TPMS, ESC, and more. Its Level 2 ADAS package comprises features like blind spot monitoring, autobraking, lane and pilot assist, adaptive cruise control, and more.

Things remain the same under the hood, as the Volvo XC60 facelift continues to be powered by the 2-litre turbo petrol engine from the outgoing model. It produces a maximum power output of 250hp and 360Nm of torque. This engine is mated to an 8-speed torque conversion gearbox. This transmission directs the power to all 4 wheels. The XC60’s turbo petrol engine is linked to a 48V mild hybrid system.
