Part of Volvo’s 60 Series, the XC60 sits between the smaller XC40 and the larger XC90; it is known for a Scandinavian, minimalist interior design, a strong emphasis on active and passive safety, and a broad set of powertrains over the years that include efficient turbocharged four‑cylinder engines and electrified plug‑in hybrid ("Recharge") variants.
For the 2026 model year Volvo applied a mid‑cycle refresh to the XC60 (reports flagged updated front and rear styling and revised infotainment/tech) and added a higher‑output engine option to the lineup alongside continuing four‑cylinder and Recharge plug‑in variants. The XC60 remains focused on comfort, safety, and refined driving manners; US pricing and EPA labels vary by powertrain and trim but the model typically ranges from the mid‑$40k zone for base configurations to the mid‑$60k range for electrified/fully‑loaded versions.
