After the XC90 comes its smaller brother, the Volvo XC60. Seen here in heavy camouflage and cladding, the most distinct tell-tale clues are its “Thor’s Hammer” full-LED headlights, as well as the tall tail lights that are characteristic of Volvo’s SUVs and wagons.
The XC60 here gains a more slanted overall stance as well, even down to the details – the Thor’s Hammer lamps are styled to suit, to go with the more sloping rear screen and D-pillars compared to those on the XC90. Up in front, the test mule shows vertical slats on its grille, similar to those on the latest XC90, S90 and V90. We’ve also included a render of the upcoming XC60 below – it’s a handsome thing, don’t you think?
The XC60 can be expected to run on Volvo’s latest Drive-E range of engines, among which will be be a plug-in hybrid powertrain – the mule seen here features an electric charge port door on the left side of the car. The company has exhibited such an example in the shell of the pre-facelift XC60, which previewed the PHEV powertrain of the XC90 T8 Twin Engine.
While that 2012 concept’s 280 hp/380 Nm turbo inline-four petrol and 70 hp/200 Nm electric motor produced a combined 350 hp, the more powerful 407 hp/640 Nm powertrain from the XC90 could well find its way into the new XC60 when it reaches the market.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
they should launch like that as a batman edition
ckd in malaysia with the same engine as xc90 and priced it below 300k, make it happen!
seriously…you wont go wrong with this car
Volvo continuing its march on the Germans with its impressive models. The XC60 and the S60 are the ones to look out for in this hotly contested market.
Awaiting this one, xc90 too big. Hopefully xc60 can hv a better looking rear. as both xc90 and s90, are a bit too conservative.
XC60 “has been on europe best selling premium SUV for 3 consecutive year
looks like Zombie Fighter CAr
i think vw has seen the trend for hybrid too, that’s why try to slash 40 models in 2025…german has never learnt lean management and 80/20, just look at merc & bm, too many models which will kill them in keeping stock…big company doesn’t mean good ROI
Must look into the rear seat design. XC90 did very well in designing the rear seat. When a seat is too strait up, it becomes very tiring for rear passenger espeacially during long distance journey.
Whoa! Thats one mean lookin swede cladding. Should slap a GAU19 and make those cladding out of composite armor. Mad Max ready!
I would suggest Volvo to spawn a full hybrid car instead, many countries lack the infrastructure to support PHEV & EV. And the fuel price in oil exporting countries is relatively cheap; ours’ electric bill is just as expensive as the fuel price, which just make PHEV & EV doesn’t sound that make sense in Malaysia.
