The XC60 facelift has a new grille
The midcycle-updated XC60 features mild styling changes that align it with the spruced-up XC90 that went on sale last year. The face now has an entirely different look (compared to the 4-seater), featuring a new grille with diagonal slats instead of vertical ones and new air vents in the updated bumper. The XC60 sits on new alloy wheels and wears smoked-out effects for the tail-lamps.

The facelifted XC60 will get two new colour options – which are Forest Lake and Aurora Silver. A Mulberry Red finish available on other Volvos will also be offered.New Volvo XC60 facelift interior and features
Aside from an updated speaker mesh grille, some new high-end materials for the XC60’s interior, and a new 11.2-inch freestanding infotainment display, the facelifted XC60 isn’t too different inside. The touchscreen features a new UX and is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Cockpit Platform processor, offering higher image quality, over-the-air update capabilities and said to be twice as fast as Volvo’s previous infotainment system.
Engines of Volvo XC60 facelift
Volvo has not yet announced any changes to the facelifted XC60’s mechanicals, meaning the SUV should continue with its current powertrain options. The former is a 250hp, 350Nm 2.0-litre turbo-petrol with mild-hybrid paired with 8-speed torque convertor. The India-spec XC60 has this powertrain as its only option, but international markets have access to a 455hp, 640Nm 2.0-litre twincharged plug-in hybrid version too.
The updated XC60 is set to go on sale globally later in 2023. While its predecessor is on sale for Rs 69.9 lakh (ex-showroom) in India, expect the new model to be priced at a small premium when Volvo finally launches it locally. In addition to the facelifted XC60, Volvo will also introduce its all-electric EX90 and EX30 in India.
