The front bumper has been revamped with fresh air intakes, and there are new alloy wheels and taillights with a smoked effect. Two new colours, Forest Lake and Aurora Silver, have been introduced globally, though it's uncertain if these will be available in India.

Interior Enhancements & Features

Inside the cabin, the XC60 facelift retains its dashboard layout but introduces a significant upgrade with an 11.2-inch freestanding touchscreen infotainment system. Powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon Cockpit Platform, this system offers improved pixel density, faster response times, and over-the-air updates. Additional interior improvements include upgraded speaker mesh, Quilted Nordico and Navy Herringbone Weave materials, new cupholders, and enhanced wireless phone charging.

Globally, Volvo offers an optional air suspension for the updated XC60.

Performance Specifications

The powertrain for the Volvo XC60 facelift remains unchanged from its predecessor. It continues to be powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine equipped with 48-volt mild-hybrid technology. This engine produces 247 bhp and 360 Nm of peak torque and is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that delivers power to all four wheels.
