Exterior Design: Classic Legacy, Refined Details

The Volvo XC60 2026 exterior continues Volvo's signature family design language, offering a bold, refined look with a modern twist. The iconic "Thor's Hammer" headlights are retained, while internal lighting elements are optimized for enhanced visibility when illuminated. The redesigned front grille features diagonal chrome trim inserts, flanked by wind-blade accents and fang-like details, giving the front end a more three-dimensional and sporty appearance. Additionally, three new body colors—Forest Lake, Aurora Silver, and Mulberry Red—are now available to suit individual preferences.
 

The side profile features clean, flowing lines, with hidden window trim rising at the C-pillar. Paired with new 19-inch dual five-spoke wheels and a sharp shoulder line, the XC60 delivers a stronger athletic presence. At the rear, the design remains consistent with the current model, while darkened tail light housings offer a more refined look. A multi-line rear bumper design further enhances the vehicle’s three-dimensional feel. Based on current model specifications, the new XC60 measures 4708 mm in length, 1902 mm in width, and 1660 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2865 mm—positioning it firmly in the luxury mid-size SUV segment.
 

Interior Layout: Upgraded Technology and Luxury

Inside, the 2026 Volvo XC60 interior builds upon the existing cabin layout with significant configuration upgrades. The central touchscreen has been upgraded from a 9-inch embedded unit to an 11.2-inch floating display. It runs on the Google infotainment system and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon Cockpit Platform, delivering faster response and a smoother user experience. The digital instrument cluster works seamlessly with the central screen, creating a more immersive tech environment.
 

Premium materials cover the cabin, with new metallic speaker grilles on the dashboard, hidden air vents, and a magnetic cup holder mount enhancing the luxury feel. Wireless phone charging is upgraded from 15W to 30W, now featuring an intelligent cooling system for improved practicality and safety. The premium Bowers & Wilkins audio system remains, with woven metal grilles that further enhance audio quality. The new XC60 also features an upgraded air purification system and offers optional air suspension and sound-insulating glass to provide a quieter and healthier cabin experience.
 

Safety Protection: Continuing Volvo’s Legacy of Safety

Staying true to Volvo’s “People First” philosophy, the new XC60 comes standard with an L2-level driver assistance system across all trims, including features such as lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and more—eight functions in total. The body structure incorporates 29% ultra-high-strength boron steel and is equipped with advanced safety features like knee airbags and a rollover protection system. The interior uses eco-friendly materials and adheres to Volvo’s strict “nose team” odor control standards, delivering an industry-leading healthy cabin.
 

Powertrain: Diverse Options Balancing Performance and Efficiency

The new 2026 XC60 is expected to retain its current powertrain lineup. The B5 mild-hybrid version features a 2.0T engine paired with a 48V system, delivering 184 kW of maximum power and 360 N·m of peak torque, matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission—offering a solid balance between performance and fuel economy. The T8 plug-in hybrid variant combines a 2.0T engine with an electric motor, producing a combined 335 kW of power and 709 N·m of torque. It is equipped with the sixth-generation BorgWarner AWD system and accelerates from 0–100 km/h in just 5 seconds. Higher trims will also feature an air suspension system, improving ride comfort and handling stability.
 

Conclusion

The new Volvo XC60 retains its classic design elements while achieving comprehensive upgrades in intelligence, luxury, and driving experience. With refined exterior details, an upgraded intelligent cockpit, enhanced interior materials, and diversified power options, the new XC60 continues Volvo’s tradition of safety and quality while catering to the modern consumer’s demand for smart features, sustainability, and personalization. It’s poised to become a strong contender in the luxury mid-size SUV market.
