    What is going on??? We got another facelift after TWO years!?

      This car needs to solder on as to why an update is necessary. Volvo is putting all their resources and investments in new EVs rather than redesigned hybrids.

      Agree, this version now gets the upgraded battery that should have come with the MY26 facelift. But then again, if you want a car that will do 100+miles electric, why not just buy an EX60 – it’s really no more expensive and isn’t based on a 10 year old platform…

    Love Volvo! Although it’s just a facelift they have done some really good work. Love the new Ex60 too, I think both will continue to be their biggest sellers.

    STILL no WIRELESS Apple CarPlay or Android Auto???? Literally a £60K+ car in 2027 and it still requires you to ‘plug’ your phone in, despite having a wireless charger. Bizarre.

      Honestly, while i understand kind of where you’re coming from a wired connection just ensures it works. Had quite a few issues with press cars and wireless connections that were either a problem of my phone or the environment not making a stable connection possible. So i personally don’t mind the omission as long as it works.

      @thenerdysk8er I actually chose a Q5 instead of an XC60 this year even though I preferred the Volvo because of the lack of wireless Carplay. I don’t want to be getting in and out of the car and having to plug a phone in like its 2010. Now I seemesly get in and dont need to touch my phone, it stays in my pocket or my bag and my Tidal comes up, my maps etc. No dropputs these days, things have moved on a bit now thankfully.

      I would take the old NX from 2022, also isn’t the Audi Q5 the rival to these, not the Q3?

      Volvo, better looking and at least you get a car with a grille rather than a grille with a car (Audi,Lexus).

      Who would still buy a fossil fuel car in ’26? Why not go all in on horses and carriages, lol.

      Hyundai Ioniq 5N it is.

    Color looks great.
    I bought last years T8.
    Its a beauty.
    Shame the electric side is lower than this.

    The interior still looks better the the EX60 The larger battery is a VERY welcome improvement. This might be my next car…

    Does it support Apple Car Key now?

    I think this modernised design approach on top of their legacy elegant design looks much better than the extreme modern, utilitarian one we’ve seen on their full electric models.

    @jacktyler7599

    For me, the choice would be this extended range XC60…but the many special qualities of the new EX60 probably trumps what I would choose after driving both. BTW Volvo’s interim CEO mentioned, at the EX60 launch, that their goal was to have the EX60 and XC60 comparably priced at similar build levels.

    Are those rear lights YELLOW or do you have a silly filter on

    Am I the only one that would love the fully electric version to look like that rather than the blown up EX30 we got instead?

    With all good intentions: why would you buy the plug in hybrid?
    The EX60 now offers a range and charging speed that really doesn’t make me want to get a petrol. And for those who say: I don’t want to get the EV since I can’t charge, don’t get the PHEV since you can’t charge that as well and the regular petrol will drive better with way less weight.
    What I am missing in this review: how much power is the electric motor. In the old one it just wasn’t enough to drive normally (merging on the motorway) so the petrol did kick in.
    And I did use to drive a XC60 T6 recharge and have an EX60 on order.

    Amazing the longevity of this iteration of XC60. I’m still happy with my fully loaded 68 plate D5.
