2026 Volvo XC60 – What’s New, and What Not? (ENG) – Test Drive and Review
We’re testing the latest, somewhat modernized version of the Volvo XC60 – one of the most popular premium SUVs on the market. This Swedish bestseller, a direct rival to the BMW X3, Audi Q5, and Mercedes-Benz GLC, has received updates focusing on digitalization and powertrain efficiency. We check how the integrated Google Built-in system performs in daily use and if the hybrids (MHEV and PHEV) genuinely deliver better fuel economy.

What are the key technical and stylistic changes introduced in the newest Volvo XC60?
What are the real-world savings and driving impressions of the Mild-Hybrid (MHEV) and Recharge (PHEV) powertrains?
How seamless is the integration of the Google-based infotainment system?
Does Volvo still set the standards for safety and comfort in the premium SUV class?
What makes customers continue to choose the XC60 over its German competition?
The Volvo XC60 in its latest form is an evolution of a proven, successful formula. The Swedish brand focused on refining its technology and electrifying its engine lineup, while preserving the characteristic, minimalist design and the highest safety standards.
