DESIGN
Refined strength, by design
Exterior design with real strength of character
![The refined Volvo XC60 on an open country road]()
The Scandinavian athlete
The XC60, like all good Scandinavian design, projects understated confidence, with an exterior defined by uncluttered lines and dynamic proportions. Large wheels and pronounced wheel arches clearly express its athleticism, while integrated roof rails and tough side mouldings highlight its capable SUV character.

A distinctive vision
The XC60 has LED headlights for a strong identity and superior vision at night. Two types are available: LED Illumination switches between dipped and full beam to provide the best view while avoiding dazzling other road users. Active High Beam Illumination technology keeps the lights on full beam but masks out the section that could dazzle oncoming traffic, providing optimum full-beam illumination. Active High Beam Illumination also includes Active Bending Lights that turn in the same direction as the steering wheel, to give a better view through corners.

DESIGN
A drive to inspire
A sophisticated chassis, for confidence and control on every drive
![Rear view of the sophisticated new Volvo XC60 at crossroads in the city]()
Dynamic comfort
The XC60 has a chassis that delivers exceptional comfort and control. Sophisticated double wishbone front suspension and integral-link rear suspension use strong, lightweight materials, to help provide agile handling and responsive steering.

Riding on air
Optional air suspension makes the XC60 even more capable, by keeping the ride height constant and giving you a smoother, more controlled ride over bumps and through corners. The suspension’s responses are adjusted constantly on the move, according to its drive mode and speed. In Comfort or Eco drive mode, the body is lowered 10–20mm at higher speeds to use less fuel. In Dynamic mode the body is lowered by 20mm, for even sportier handling.
A drive adapted to you
The XC60 has a choice of drive modes that allow you to adapt the driving experience to your needs. You can switch between three default settings for the engine, automatic gearbox, steering, brakes, stability control system and engine stop/start function. And you can create your own combination with Individual mode. You simply toggle through the drive settings – which are displayed on the 9-inch centre display – using the roller control between the front seats.

VERSATILITY
Upgrade your space
Discover a spacious, versatile cabin designed to make life easier
![Interior view of driver's space in the new Volvo XC60]()
Space to explore
The XC60 has the space and versatility to help you seek out new adventures. Thoughtfully designed seats maximise rear legroom, while the load compartment is well shaped, with a volume of 505 litres to the top of the backrest and up to 1444 litres when rear backrests are folded (468 litres and 1395 litres for the T8 Twin Engine). Backrests that fold down electrically are an option.

A helping hand
Loading and unloading is easier with the power-operated tailgate available for the XC60. It allows you to open or close the tailgate by pressing a button on the car’s remote control, tailgate or dashboard. When combined with the keyless entry option it also offers a hands-free function that means you can even open or shut the tailgate by simply moving your foot under the rear bumper.

DESIGN
An interior to delight
Where Scandinavian design meets modern Swedish luxury
![Interior view of front cabin in the new Volvo XC60]()
Beautifully simple
The interior of the XC60 is Scandinavian design at its purest – an effortless blend of form and function. An uncluttered layout creates a calm, inspiring space that means you can enjoy the drive safely and without distraction, while savouring the unique sense of Swedish luxury that surrounds you.
![Interior view of front cabin in the new Volvo XC60]()
![Close up of the interior upholstery and trim details inside the new Volvo XC60]()
Inspired craftsmanship
The minimalist, considered design inside the XC60 allows you to focus on beautiful details such as the sleek centre display with touch screen and unique air vents with a slender, metal-finished control. Diamond-pattern finishes for the air vents’ control knobs, starter button, driving mode controller and steering wheel controls delight the senses, while carefully chosen materials are another example of an interior defined by contemporary craftsmanship. Inscription trim includes decor in Driftwood – a unique wood treatment that is satisfying to look at and touch, and which references Volvo Cars’ Swedish heritage.Let the light in
The panoramic roof available for the XC60 floods the cabin with light. It’s long enough that those in both front and rear seats can enjoy the view of the sky above them, and it is made from special tinted glass that reduces the transmission of unwanted heat and UV radiation. A power-operated sunshade makes it easy to keep strong light out if necessary, while the front section of the roof can be tilted or opened to provide extra ventilation. The roof can be closed using either the remote control lock button or, for cars with keyless entry, the door handle button.

TECHNOLOGY
Naturally easy
Advanced technology with a natural, human feel
![Close up of the touch-screen dashboard in the new Volvo XC60]()
Tech with a human touch
A centre display with touch screen is at the heart of the way you interact with the XC60. It combines sleek design with ease of use, reducing distraction with bold, clear graphics and a minimum of buttons. Its portrait format makes reading information and maps especially easy, while the 9-inch screen is so responsive, you can use it wearing gloves.
![Close up of the touch screen centre display with Apple CarPlay connectivity options inside the new Volvo XC60]()

A natural connection
We understand that technology is more useful when it’s easy to use, which is why interacting with the XC60 feels like second nature. A digital driver display puts important information right in front of you, and its brightness adjusts to the surroundings so it’s always easy to read.
An advanced voice control function allows you to operate climate control, navigation, media and telephone functions using natural speech patterns – no need to memorise set prompts or commands.

DRIVING
Enjoy power, responsibly
More power, lower emissions. Discover the XC60 T8 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid
![The new Volvo XC60 drives along a country track]()
Electrifying performance
The Volvo XC60 T8 Twin Engine has a plug-in hybrid powertrain that provides responsive performance. The combination of a four-cylinder petrol engine driving the front wheels and an electric motor driving the rear wheels gives performance that's a match for many sports cars. The result is strong, smooth acceleration from standstill. And, if necessary, on-demand all-wheel drive ensures power is transferred as effectively as possible to the road.
![The new Volvo XC60 T8 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid drives along a country track]()
![A Volvo XC60 T8 Twin Engine drives alond a county road taking advantage of the range of available drive modes]()
A mode for every journey
A range of drive modes allows you to adapt the XC60 T8 Twin Engine to your needs. Pure mode provides enough electric-only power for the average daily commute. It means you emit zero emissions and travel in near-silent luxury. In Power mode the turbocharged, supercharged petrol engine and powerful electric motor work together to give an instantaneous response when you accelerate. Default Hybrid mode chooses between the petrol engine, electric motor or a combination of the two, to ensure your journey is as smooth and efficient as possible.No compromises
The XC60 was designed from the outset to use a plug-in hybrid powertrain, so the batteries and electric motor of the T8 Twin Engine don’t compromise space, versatility or weight distribution. It plugs into a domestic power socket to top up the battery, and the batteries are recharged automatically on the move, as you slow down. The powerful petrol engine means you can even keep going without an electric top-up.![The new Volvo XC60 T8 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid parked in a covered parking bay whilst it recharges]()

Connect to a better experience
We understand that you want to be able to listen to your favourite music, stay in touch and remain connected on the move. The XC60 makes all of this possible, and more, thanks to sophisticated audio systems, advanced connectivity and a range of apps that entertain and inform. And, because every Volvo Cars innovation is designed around people, it couldn’t be simpler to use.

![Close up of door-mounted Bowers & Wilkens audio speakers in the new Volvo XC60]()
Built for sound
Your music is part of the experience in the XC60. An integrated Spotify app means there’s no need to connect your phone to enjoy it. Support for Apple CarPlay allows you to link an Apple iPhone, while Android Auto is also supported. The Sensus Connect package gives you access to a range of additional apps, allowing you to enjoy internet radio and audiobooks in your XC60.
Harman Kardon Premium Sound gives you precise, powerful sound, while top-of-the-range Bowers & Wilkins audio provides remarkable clarity and power.
Your world connected
Volvo On Call* is the app that connects your phone, tablet or wearable device with your Volvo XC60. This makes your car a more useful part of your world, as well as providing remote access and a range of useful functions. For instance, it allows you to pre-heat or pre-cool your XC60, lock or unlock it remotely and find it in a crowded car park.

TECHNOLOGY
For an easier ride
Driver support features that help take the strain
![Rear aerial view of the new Volvo XC60 approaching a bridge on a winding mountain road]()
Get a better view
The XC60 is available with a 360˚ Camera that helps to make parking effortless by showing a bird’s-eye view of your car and its immediate surroundings on the large centre display screen. It’s especially useful when negotiating tight spaces, and can help you to avoid costly car park scrapes.
![Rear aerial view of the new Volvo XC60 approaching a bridge on a winding mountain road]()
![Interior view of the new Volvo XC60 looking over drivers shoulder demonstrating the pilot assist semi-autonomous driving technology]()
Semi-autonomous help
Pilot Assist helps make driving in heavy traffic less tiring. This semi-autonomous drive technology keeps a set speed and distance to the vehicle in front of you, and uses steering inputs to keep you in the centre of your lane. Pilot Assist works at speeds up to 130km/h, helping to reduce the effort required when driving on busy highways.
For the EU and US, Pilot Assist uses data from the navigation system – an ‘electronic horizon’ function – that can read the planned route of your drive, so it knows more about the radius of bends or the gradient of the road ahead.
Perfect parking
Park Assist Pilot helps you park perfectly, every time. It uses sensors to gauge the size of available spaces as you drive by them, and lets you know if one is big enough. It can then steer the car into a parallel space just 1.2 times the length of the car, or into a perpendicular space. All you need to do is follow the screen prompts and operate the gears and brakes as the car steers itself into the space.
Please note: the driver is responsible for how the car is controlled at all times.

SAFETY
Class-leading safety
Safety innovations that help to keep you and your passengers safe
![Interior view of the new Volvo XC60 looking out of the front windscreen from over the driver's shoulder]()
Designed to protect
Protecting people is at the heart of every Volvo car, and the features that make the XC60 a safe place for you and your passengers are the result of decades of leadership in safety. Ultra high-strength boron steel – one of the strongest types of steel available – forms a rigid safety cell around the car, while crumple zones front and rear dissipate energy in the event of a collision.![Interior view of the new Volvo XC60 looking out of the front windscreen from over the driver's shoulder]()
![The new Volvo XC60 negotiates city streets with the aid of it's City Safety radar and camera technology to avoid and respond to hazards]()
Helping you avoid danger
City Safety is a Volvo Cars innovation that spots potential danger, and helps you avoid it. It uses radar and camera technology to identify other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and large animals ahead, day or night. It warns you if it detects an imminent collision and, if you don’t react in time, City Safety can automatically apply the brakes to help avoid or mitigate a collision. In the XC60, City Safety includes Steering Support, which helps you to steer away from danger as effectively and safely as possible.Keeping you on track
Run-off road Mitigation is a standard safety feature for the XC60 that makes it less likely for the car to be steered off the road accidentally. This Volvo Cars innovation detects if the car is about to leave the road unintentionally, at speeds between 65-140km/h, and then uses steering and – if necessary – brake support to guide the car back onto the right path.
If the car does leave the road, Run-off Road Protection reduces the chances of serious injury. It includes an energy-absorbing feature in the front seat frames that cushions vertical impact in the event of a hard landing and, in addition, optional safety belts that tighten electrically.
Please note: the driver is responsible for how the car is controlled at all times

Bound by sound
1966 was quite a year for music. The Beatles, The Beach Boys and Bob Dylan all released groundbreaking albums that completely transformed the cultural landscape. But while Lennon and McCartney and their contemporaries were busy reinventing the way music was made, a classical music enthusiast called John Bowers was focusing his attention and expertise on reinventing the way we listened to it.
