The mid-sized Volvo XC60 facelift has just been revealed. Here’s a first look at the changes, including the new Google infotainment system.
The Volvo XC60 facelift gets another update in an effort to keep it relevant. As a reminder, this second-generation XC60 has been the Swedish brand’s best-selling product in the world since its debut back in 2017.
Visually, the Volvo XC60 facelift gets the same stylish grille as the one seen on the updated XC90 as well as new-look alloy wheel designs, new paint options as well as darker taillamps. It has always been a striking car in terms of design and we don’t think much was needed in this department.
The cabin is where the biggest changes have occurred. There are new materials like Quilted Nordico and Navy Herringbone Weave, and if these sound fancy, well then mission success as Volvo say they’re used for a more premium ambience. There’s also a new and more powerful wireless phone charger and new cupholders.
The biggest change is the new infotainment system. The screen’s physical size has increased from 9 to 11.2-inches and there are more pixels for sharper graphics. Under the skin is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Cockpit Platform which Volvo says offers faster processing speeds as the predecessor.
As before, Google services are included, things like Maps, Youtube and so on, and the new-look interface is not just reserved for this XC60 facelift and EX90/XC90 facelift. Volvo says it send this out via an over-the-air update to all Volvos newer than 2020.
It looks like the powertrains have been carried over and as a reminder, these comprise both mild-hybrid petrol engines with B-badging as well as the T-badged plug-in hybrids.
