Interior Enhancements

Inside, the XC60 offers significant technological and luxury upgrades. The 11.2-inch infotainment system is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon Cockpit Platform for faster performance and supports OTA updates. The cabin includes a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with integrated Google services and voice assistance. High-end materials like Nappa leather, genuine wood trim, and a crystal gear selector add to its luxurious feel.

Uprated Features

The XC60 is equipped with numerous features that boost comfort and convenience. These include four-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, an air purification system, and improved cupholders. A 1410-watt Bowers & Wilkins sound system with 15 speakers provides premium audio quality. Additionally, the front seats offer heating, ventilation, and massage functions.

Powertrain Details

The updated XC60 retains its 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine but now includes a 48V mild-hybrid system. This setup delivers 247bhp and 360Nm of torque through an 8-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive. The SUV supports E20 fuel and accelerates from 0 to 100 kmph in just 6.9 seconds.

Competition

In India, the Volvo XC60 competes with luxury SUVs such as the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC, and Lexus NX 300h. That said, Volvo assembles the XC60 at its Bengaluru plant as a Completely Knocked-Down (CKD) unit like other models in its Indian lineup. With over 2.7 million units sold worldwide, it remains Volvo's most successful model globally.
