The Swedish automaker, Volvo, has introduced the facelifted XC60 in India, priced at Rs 71.9 lakh (ex-showroom). The premium mid-size SUV boasts subtle exterior updates, significant tech upgrades, and a powerful engine.

At the rear, the SUV features smoked LED taillights and new 19-inch alloy wheels. The XC60 facelift comes in two new color options: Mulberry Red and Forest Lake, while Platinum Grey has been dropped from the lineup.
Tech-Packed Interior
Stepping inside, the XC60 reveals a tech-laden cabin. The highlight is an 11.2-inch infotainment screen powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Cockpit Platform. The dashboard also houses a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, voice assistance, and Play Store integration for added convenience. The interior is adorned with premium materials such as Nappa leather, genuine wood trim, and contrast stitching. A crystal gear selector adds a touch of luxury.
Powerful Performance and Efficiency
Under the hood, the XC60 facelift retains the 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a 48V mild-hybrid system. This powertrain delivers 247 bhp and 360 Nm of torque, enabling the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in 6.9 seconds. The XC60 facelift is mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox and an AWD system for smooth and efficient performance.
Competing in India’s Premium Mid-Size SUV Market
In India’s premium mid-size SUV market, the XC60 facelift competes primarily with the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC, and Lexus NX. While all four offer sophisticated luxury and technology, the XC60’s key strengths lie in its strong safety features, Scandinavian design, and software-enhanced infotainment system with Google integration that supports over-the-air updates.
