2021 Volvo XC60

The XC60 is Volvo's 5-door, 5-seat mid-size SÚV. It is built on the Scalable Product Architecture (SPA), Volvo's advanced modular product platform that underpins all Volvo cars in the 90 and 60 Series.

Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, the second generation XC60 has quickly become the best-selling model in Volvo Cars' range. The original XC60 sold almost one million units globally and was the best-selling mid-sized premium SÚV in Europe.

The XC60 carries the proud and confident face of Volvo's design language, along with classic Volvo styling cues. Key features include the iconic 'Thor's Hammer' LED headlight design, the new grille and Volvo Iron Mark, and the Volvo word mark on the rear.

Inside, Volvo has taken cues from the clean, Scandinavian interior design first introduced in the 90 Series cars, raising the bar in the segment with natural materials and new details on the dashboard and instrument panel.

Connectivity and infotainment

All new Volvos are now connected, thanks to Volvo's connectivity and infotainment system. It delivers an intuitive touch screen interface that combines car functions, navigation, connected services and in-car entertainment applications such as Spotify, Pandora, Baidu or TuneIn. The portrait-oriented touch screen enables easy and fast access to a host of functions and features. As in the 90 Series cars, smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is also available.

Powertrain technology

The XC60 is powered by Volvo's Drive-E powertrains. Apart from petrol and diesel variants, the XC60 is also available with a range of 48 volt mild hybrid variants, as well as a T8 Twin Engine AWD petrol plug-in hybrid that delivers as much as 407hp.

Volvo's Twin Engine plug-in hybrid delivers all the benefits of a high performance, low emission petrol engine with an electric motor that delivers power on demand with ultra-low CO2 emissions and more than 40 km of pure electric range. The company's mild hybrid technology, meanwhile, offers drivers up to 15 per cent fuel savings and emission reductions in real world driving.

Safety and driver assistance

Volvo's City Safety technology, standard on all Volvo models, combines automatic braking functionality and collision avoidance systems to cover a range of potential accident scenarios and help keep you safe. City Safety is the only system on the market that detects pedestrians, cyclists and large animals such as moose and deer.

The Pilot Assist driver assistance system, optional on the XC60, works up to 130 km/h on clearly marked roads.
