Spring brings a wealth of activity across Volvo Cars’ UK model range, extending consumer choice and raising product appeal with new model versions, trim levels and technologies. The latest introductions demonstrate Volvo Cars’ commitment to keeping pace with customer tastes and requirements, and providing a wide choice of electrified powertrains – be that fully electric, plug-in hybrid or mild-hybrid.
New look and new features for the XC60
The XC60’s status as Volvo Cars’ top-selling model globally is strengthened with a series of updates in a wide-ranging refresh programme for 2025. The updated mid-size SUV is marked out by sharp new exterior styling with a new-look grille, fresh alloy wheel designs and dark-finished rear lamp clusters.
There are arguably even bigger changes inside. The interior is updated to bring the latest user experience (UX) – as already seen in the EX30, ES90, XC90 and EX90 – to the XC60, accessed via a faster and more responsive infotainment system, complete with a larger 11.2-inch touchscreen. Practicality and clean, minimalist styling are combined in a redesigned central storage console and wireless charging pad, while the cabin environment has been further enhanced with improved sound insulation measures. There are also new upholstery choices, including bio-attributable Nordico and a navy herringbone woven fabric.
Three powertrains are available: the B5 mild-hybrid petrol and T6 and T8 petrol-electric plug-in hybrids. On-the-road prices start at £49,240 for the B5 Core version and extend to £69,860 for the T8 Plug-in Hybrid Ultra Black Edition.
EX90 range grows with new Single Motor version and Plus trim level
The flagship EX90 fully electric large SUV range has been extended with the addition of a new Single Motor, rear-wheel-drive version and Plus trim level.
The new powertrain features a 104/100kWh (nominal/usable) capacity battery in a powertrain that delivers a maximum of 279hp and 490Nm of torque, enabling 0-62mph in 8.4 seconds. With electric consumption of up to 3.4 miles per kWh, the EX90 Single Motor has a range of up to 380 miles on a full charge.
The new Plus trim level is available for both Single Motor and Twin Motor versions, giving the seven-seat SUV a new entry-level on-the-road price of £82,660. The equipment specification remains in line with the model’s premium status, including four-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, head-up display, 14.5-inch touchscreen control system and a 360-degree camera set-up all provided as standard. Twin Motor versions also come with air suspension and adaptive dampers.
EX30 Cross Country pricing and specification
The EX30 small SUV is the latest model to follow the Volvo Cross Country tradition of more rugged looks and performance.
Introduced as a single variant, it is based on the EX30 Twin Motor Performance Ultra. Its Cross Country credentials are exhibited by stylish and practical exterior details, including matt black front and bootlid shields, bespoke front and rear bumpers with integrated skidplates, and matt black wheelarch extensions. The 19-inch alloy wheels have a dedicated design with a matt finish.
The EX30 Cross Country is engineered for tackling rougher surfaces thanks to all-wheel drive and ground clearance increased by 19mm. Its suspension is tuned for a smoother ride, too.
Available to order now, the EX30 Cross Country has an on-the-road price of £47,060.
Larger battery added to EC40 and EX40
The introduction of a larger battery has increased the driving range of the EC40 compact crossover and EX40 compact SUV. The Single Motor Extended Range versions of both models are now equipped with an 82/79kWh (nominal/usable) capacity unit, replacing the previous 78/75kWh battery. The principal benefit is an increase of around 15 miles in driving range – up to a maximum of 360 miles for the EC40 (previously 346 miles) and 358 miles for the EX40 (previously 343 miles).
New Plus Pro trim level
There is added customer choice with the introduction of a new trim level, Plus Pro, across the EC40, EX40, XC40, XC60 and XC90 model ranges.
Positioned between the established Plus and Ultra equipment grades, it provides both useful technology and additional styling features. On EC40, EX40 and XC40 models, highlights of its additional equipment include pixel LED headlights with adaptive shadow technology, LED front foglights with a cornering function and a 360-degree surround-view camera system. Together, these give the driver an enhanced view of the road ahead and the area immediately around their car, supporting safer driving and easier manoeuvring. On the XC60, the Plus Pro package includes 20-inch alloy wheels, complete with a contrast diamond cut/black finish, and soft Nappa leather ventilated upholstery, while XC90 Plus Pro versions receive 21-inch wheels and the ventilated Nappa leather seats.
Further roll-out of faster, smarter infotainment UX
The roll-out of the new-generation Volvo Car infotainment user experience continues with the EC40, EX40, XC40, V60 and V90 being the latest models to gain the new technology package. The new Snapdragon Cockpit Platform from Qualcomm Technologies also delivers more than twice the response speed and 10 times faster graphics generation than the previous system.
With simplification as a guiding principle, the UX is designed for safe, easy and enjoyable interaction with the car’s multimedia functions, with the most frequently used apps and features located on the home screen. Google services, including Google Maps, Google Assistant and access to the Google Play store, are also built in.
