2026 Volvo XC60: Release Date, Specs, Colors, Trims, And More

What's New for the 2026 Volvo XC60?

While there was no 2026 Volvo XC60 redesign, fans of the model line may notice a few changes. The grille, taillights, and wheels are new, marking a minor refresh rather than a redesign. The Volvo XC60 also features a revamped 11.2-inch touchscreen in all trims.

Aside from those changes, there are new color options to explore, including the spectacular Mulberry Red. Double-check your dream SUV's specs to see if its engine matches your charging preferences.

2026 Volvo XC60 Specs

You'll discover two exemplary powertrain setups across the plug-in and mild-hybrid Volvo XC60 SUVs. The B5 setup is the mild-hybrid option, pairing a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a 48-volt battery-and-motor system to output 247 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque, a slight boost from 258 pound-feet of torque in past model years. It comes standard with all-wheel drive and a smooth automatic transmission.

This setup boasts an EPA-estimated 23/30/26 MPG (City/Highway/Combined),² which is incredible for a roomy midsize SUV with this level of traction and control. You'll have some extra money in the family budget with a sleek new Volvo XC60 for sale on your team.

The 2026 Volvo XC60 Plug-In Hybrid uses the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine along with a more robust battery-and-motor system to make 455 horsepower and 523 pound-feet of torque. Like the B5, it comes standard with all-wheel drive. Unlike the B5, it can jump from zero to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds. Tag on up to an EPA-estimated 35 miles of all-electric range,¹ and you have plenty of reasons to add plug-in muscle to your garage.

2026 Volvo XC60 Interior

The cabin of the 2026 Volvo XC60 is as cozy as the powertrains are muscular. The base model Volvo XC60 Core has a premium and easy-to-clean Nordico synthetic-leather upholstery, a panoramic roof, a two-zone climate control system, an 11.2-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and a suite of dynamic safety features. You'll enjoy comfortable seats while the 10-speaker audio system keeps your soundtrack or podcasts flowing.

The Plus and Ultra iterations have even more impressive features. On these trims, you can come across heated and ventilated seats, Nappa leather upholstery, Gray Ash wood interior accents, a four-zone climate system, a Head-Up Display, and more high-end luxuries, depending on which tier you select. The plug-in hybrid model introduces one additional level – the Polestar Engineered variant – to elevate your experience further with an innovative chassis, heated rear seats, a Bowers & Wilkins® premium sound system, and more. No matter which one you choose, you'll get unbelievable value for your money.

You can customize your interior color and upholstery combinations, too. Many of them are trim-dependent, so reach out to Volvo Cars West Houston to ascertain which Volvo XC60 has your favorite color scheme. They are as follows:

• Charcoal Nordico
