Volvo is all set to launch the facelifted version of its popular luxury SUV, the XC60, in India on August 1. This will be the second major update to the model since its debut in 2017. Globally, the Volvo XC60 has been a best-seller for the Swedish brand, with over 1.5 million units sold—including a strong presence in India.
The updated XC60 will bring several design enhancements and significant tech upgrades, while retaining the same powertrain setup as the outgoing model.

The upcoming Volvo XC60 facelift draws design inspiration from its larger sibling, the XC90, which was updated last year. Expect a sleeker profile with the following enhancements:
-
A redesigned front grille
-
New alloy wheel design
-
Smoked-effect LED taillights
-
Two new exterior colour options: Forest Lake and Aurora Silver with Mulberry Red
These changes aim to give the XC60 a refreshed, premium appeal while maintaining Volvo’s signature minimalist design language.

The cabin of the new XC60 will also receive several upgrades, most notably in terms of tech and connectivity:
-
A larger 11.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system
-
Powered by Google OS and Qualcomm Snapdragon Cockpit Platform
-
Improved pixel density by 21%, offering sharper visuals
-
Support for over-the-air (OTA) updates and new app integrations
These upgrades are expected to make the in-cabin experience smoother, faster, and more interactive.
Volvo XC60 Facelift: Engine and Performance
Mechanically, the facelifted XC60 will continue with the same 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system. Key specifications include:
-
247 bhp of peak power
