The Volvo XC60 has long been a hallmark of Scandinavian design, safety, and innovation. Since its debut in 2017, it has rapidly risen to become the brand’s top-selling model, and one of Europe’s best-selling plug-in hybrids, with over 1.5 million units sold globally. Now, for the 2024 model year, Volvo is unveiling a refreshed version of the XC60 that promises to elevate the mid-size SUV segment to new heights. With a host of user experience upgrades, an enhanced infotainment system, and a more luxurious interior, the XC60 continues to set the bar for excellence in the premium SUV market.
A New Standard in User Experience
At the heart of the 2024 XC60 lies Volvo’s latest-generation user experience (UX), a redesigned system aimed at making every interaction with the car smoother, safer, and more enjoyable. This new system, which includes a large, 11.2-inch free-standing touchscreen, offers increased pixel density for a crisper, more vibrant display—21% more, to be exact. With Google services now fully integrated, the new system ensures a more personalized and intuitive experience, putting everything you need at your fingertips.
But the improvements don’t stop there. The new infotainment system is powered by Qualcomm Technologies’ Snapdragon Cockpit Platform, which doubles the speed of its predecessor, making it more responsive and quicker to process information. The system’s graphics are ten times faster than before, making for an even smoother, less distracting driving experience. Whether it’s navigating through apps, controlling your car’s settings, or receiving real-time information, the system ensures everything you need is right at hand, when you need it.
For those who own previous Volvo models from 2020 onward, this new UX will be available via a simple over-the-air update, meaning millions of Volvo owners will benefit from the latest technology without having to step foot in a dealership.
Design That Commands Attention
The 2024 XC60 has received a design refresh that reinforces its status as a premium, contemporary SUV. A new air intake featuring Volvo’s iconic iron mark evokes the refreshed look of the XC90, adding to the XC60’s bold presence on the road. The model also comes with new wheel options, darker rear lights, and, for the first time, the introduction of three exciting new colours: Forest Lake, Aurora Silver, and Mulberry Red.
Inside, the XC60 continues its tradition of impeccable Scandinavian design with a fresh mix of materials and decors. Premium materials, including Quilted Nordico and Navy Herringbone Weave, elevate the cabin’s luxury feel, while clever features like smart storage solutions, a more refined wireless phone charger, and an expanded load compartment enhance everyday practicality.
Unmatched Comfort for Every Journey
Volvo is renowned for its focus on comfort, and the refreshed XC60 takes this to an entirely new level. The cabin is now even quieter, ensuring a serene and peaceful driving experience. Thanks to Volvo’s legendary seats, which come standard in the XC60, every journey is a first-class experience. For those looking for an even more luxurious ride, optional air suspension and laminated windows provide an elevated sense of refinement.
Moreover, the XC60 is equipped with Volvo’s state-of-the-art air purification technology, enhancing the well-being of all occupants by ensuring a cleaner, fresher cabin atmosphere. It’s these thoughtful touches that make the XC60 a perfect blend of practicality, comfort, and luxury.
Audio Excellence: A Soundtrack to Every Drive
For audiophiles, the 2024 XC60 offers an exceptional driving experience, thanks to its partnership with Bowers & Wilkins. The available High Fidelity audio system is one of the best in the industry, delivering a sound experience that’s as close as possible to how the artist intended it to be heard. With a new speaker mesh design, the system provides unparalleled sound quality that makes every journey feel like a concert hall on wheels.
The XC60 is Ready for the Future
The 2024 Volvo XC60 isn’t just about cutting-edge technology and design; it’s about making life easier, safer, and more enjoyable. With its upgraded features, Volvo continues to redefine what a mid-size SUV can be. The refreshed XC60 is now available for order in certain markets, and with over-the-air updates ensuring it will only improve over time, the XC60 is poised to maintain its position as a leader in the premium SUV category for years to come.
As Erik Severinson, Chief Product and Strategy Officer at Volvo Cars, aptly puts it: “With its cutting-edge user experience, modernized Scandinavian design, improved comfort, and even more luxurious interior, the XC60 sets the standard even higher for mid-size SUVs.” This refreshed XC60 is the epitome of Volvo’s commitment to making cars that not only look beautiful but make life more enjoyable, efficient, and safe.
