Elegant styling, Scandinavian craftsmanship, and versatile performance make the Volvo XC60 one of the most appealing luxury SUVs in its class. With ample seating, adaptable cargo space, and a wide range of advanced amenities, the XC60 blends practicality with refinement. At Volvo Cars St. Louis, discerning drivers can explore this compact SUV's balanced performance, modern technology, and timeless design.
2026 vs 2025 Volvo XC60: What's the Difference?
The 2026 XC60 introduces a refreshed appearance and upgraded technology. A new grille design with a bold diagonal mesh pattern highlights the Volvo emblem, while the taillights feature a subtly darkened surround for a more sophisticated look. New wheel designs are available, and the color palette now includes Forest Lake, Aurora Silver, and Mulberry Red. Inside, drivers will enjoy a larger 11.2-inch central touchscreen that delivers quicker responses and sharper graphics compared to the outgoing 9-inch unit.
Performance
The 2026 XC60 continues to provide a choice of efficient yet potent engines. Standard models feature a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that makes 247 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque, while a mild-hybrid system smooths acceleration and enhances efficiency. The 2026 XC60 comes standard with all-wheel drive, giving you added confidence in varying conditions.
For drivers seeking even more power and versatility, the XC60 Plug-in Hybrid adds an electric powertrain to a twincharged four-cylinder engine, boosting output to 455 horsepower and 523 pound-feet of torque. With an EPA-estimated 35 miles of electric-only range and 63 MPGe, the XC60 PHEV is a great way to experience EV driving without switching to 100% battery power.
Interior and Versatility
The XC60 cabin reflects Volvo's dedication to comfort and modern simplicity. Soft-touch materials, genuine wood and aluminum accents, and available Nappa leather upholstery create a welcoming and refined atmosphere. Both rows provide generous passenger space, while supportive seating ensures long-trip comfort. Behind the second row, you'll find 22.4 cubic feet of cargo space, expandable to 63.3 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.
The 2026 Volvo XC60 is generously equipped, including standard comforts and conveniences like proximity keyless entry, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a power liftgate, driver memory settings, and a panoramic roof.
