2026 Volvo XC60 Facelift Launched: New Design and 455 HP Power

SAUDI ARABIA : No mechanical changes have been made. The XC60 still offers a 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo engine with a 48V hybrid system (247 HP) and a plug-in hybrid option with 455 HP.

Volvo has officially launched the 2026 XC60 facelift, bringing subtle design upgrades and advanced technology while maintaining its powerful engine lineup. The luxury SUV continues to offer up to 455 HP. Read on to see what the 2026 Volvo XC60 facelift has to offer.

Aesthetic Updates Inspired by the XC90

Volvo's decision to refine rather than redesign the XC60 aligns with its strategy of maintaining a strong presence in the luxury SUV market. The 2026 facelift takes styling cues from the recently launched XC90, including:

• A redesigned front grille with a modern finish.
• Sleek LED taillights with a fresh layout.
• New alloy wheel designs for a sportier look.

These subtle changes help the XC60 maintain its premium appeal while improving aerodynamics.

Enhanced Interior with Advanced Technology

Inside, Volvo has made key improvements, ensuring the XC60 stays competitive in the luxury segment. The biggest highlight is the new 11.2-inch infotainment screen, which now:

• Runs twice as fast as the previous system.
• Supports over-the-air software updates.
• Features an upgraded audio interface with refined speaker placement.

Although the overall cabin layout remains unchanged, these tech enhancements make the XC60 more user-friendly and future-proof.

Powertrain and Performance

Volvo has retained the same engine lineup, offering a balance between efficiency and power:

Engine type	Power output
2.0L 4-Cylinder Turbo (Mild Hybrid)	247 HP
2.0L 4-Cylinder Turbo + 2 Electric Motors (Plug-in Hybrid)	455 HP

Both variants come with an 8-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth power delivery. While no changes have been made under the hood, Volvo's existing setup already provides excellent performance and fuel efficiency.

Market Launch and Pricing

Volvo plans to roll out the 2026 XC60 facelift globally in the second half of 2025. In the U.S., the starting price will be approximately $48,345, which translates to around SAR 181,500. Volvo's decision to retain competitive pricing ensures the XC60 remains an attractive choice among premium SUVs.

The 2026 Volvo XC60 facelift brings refined styling, a faster infotainment system, and the same powerful engine options. While not a complete overhaul, these updates keep the XC60 modern and competitive. With a launch expected later this year, Volvo continues to position the XC60 as a luxury SUV that blends style, technology, and performance seamlessly.
