The design of the Volvo XC60 conveys a sense of quiet confidence. Its long engine compartment, recognisable LED lights and tastefully designed exterior create an impression of luxury. Meanwhile, the cabin provides comfortable seating and an appealing choice of materials. This gallery examines the front, side and rear views of the car as well as its interior features.
The focus is the second-generation XC60 with the facelift introduced in India in August 2025, alongside the current Indian Ultra specification and colour choices. It is a five-seater, so the third-row section explains how the space behind the rear bench is used for luggage. Used Volvo XC60 cars can be explored on Spinny, with availability varying by location and current stock.

Volvo XC60 Exterior Images
The XC60 features a subtle downward curve at the top and a wide body with muscular shoulders. The Indian Bright package features metallic embellishments in the grille and window trim, allowing the SUV to maintain its signature shape while getting a refreshed look.
Key Highlights
- Diagonal-pattern front grille with the Volvo badge at its centre.
- Full-LED headlamps with Thor’s Hammer daytime running lights.
- 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels with contrasting dark sections.
- Bright window surrounds and roof rails that complement the body-coloured mirrors.
Front Profile
The most obvious distinguishing feature of the facelifted XC60 is its grille. The grille has adopted a diagonal pattern, which has replaced the traditional vertical-slatted pattern, thereby adding a lot of character to the front while keeping the proportions of the grille acceptable. The Volvo logo with front light clusters extending to the front wings makes the logo an important identifying detail of the new XC60.
A front three-quarter angle shows how the bonnet flows into the shoulders above the wheels. The surfaces are gently sculpted, with the lower bumper providing a visual base beneath the grille. The Indian facelift retains more of the previous bumper design than some international versions, so photographs from other markets may show different detailing.
Side Profile
The profile of the XC60 perfectly showcases its harmonic proportions. The bonnet appears massive while the cabin is situated centrally between the front and back wheels, and the downward-sloping roof comes to its end gracefully. The precise shoulder lining across the doors is a plus, in addition to the body’s curvature that helps achieve profile without flatness. The windows’ surroundings are clad in bright colours and become especially distinct when placed against the dark-colored body.
The 19-inch wheels combine polished faces with gloss-black sections in a five-double-spoke design. They add contrast without dominating the profile. Body-coloured mirrors and bright roof rails keep the detailing consistent with the Indian Bright theme.
Rear Profile
The tall rear lights follow the contour of the rear window and continue into the tailgate. The overall effect gives the XC60 a recognisable rear shape, while the letters of the word “Volvo” in the middle section are spaced evenly apart.
The rear design of the Indian model stays similar to the previous model, meaning that the grille and wheels are more effective features distinguishing it. Once the powered tailgate is open, the attention is drawn to the spacious cargo area and floor space at the back. The opened hatchback opens up the view to the rear edges, the rear seatbacks angle and the width for luggage or a folded stroller.
The XC60’s exterior brings together familiar Volvo lighting, elegant proportions and a modest update to the grille and wheels.
Volvo XC60 Interior Images
Wood decorations, metal details, and Nappa leather upholstery in blond or charcoal colour can be seen in the design of the cabin. The lighter design lets the interior feel more spacious, while the charcoal approach gives the dashboard and seats a more uniform dark appearance.
Key Highlights
- Freestanding 11.2-inch central touchscreen and a 12.3-inch driver display.
- Power-adjustable front seats with ventilation and massage equipment.
- Panoramic roof and four-zone climate control.
- Orrefors crystal gear selector and Bowers & Wilkins audio system.
Dashboard & Front Seats
The new larger central touchscreen is the most noticeable transformation inside the cabin. Unlike the previous model with a 9-inch screen, the new 11.2-inch screen is raised above the dashboard. Slim vertical vents remain to the sides of the touchscreen while wooden panels run across the dashboard to balance the look. You will also find Google Maps and other built-in applications that will help you with everyday activities, while the dedicated screen for drivers ensures the driving info remains visible at all times.
The front seats have shaped cushions and bolsters, with powered adjustment and lumbar support to help occupants settle in. Ventilation and massage add to the comfort equipment, while the crystal selector gives the centre console a distinctive finishing touch. Look closely at the seat controls, upholstery stitching and door trim when viewing the cabin.
Second Row
Inside the second row of the vehicle, you’ll find a three-seat bench complete with a folding armrest in the centre and cupholders. Passengers seated at the back also have access to their own climate controls, with vents situated both in the centre console and on the columns. Then there are the USB chargers, along with the area for storage in the doors for everyday essentials.
The outer seats are the more comfortable positions for adults, as the raised centre tunnel limits foot space for the middle passenger. The backrest has a relaxed angle, but the bench is not a sliding arrangement designed to trade passenger room against boot space. Its main flexibility comes from the split-folding backrests. Legroom depends on how far back the front seats are set, and taller passengers should check thigh support and headroom with their usual travelling companions seated ahead.
Third Row
The Volvo XC60 lacks a third row. It can hold five people in two rows and has the rest for luggage. There is no third-row access system, individual seating, dedicated climate control, or charging point for that row.
The luggage compartment has a powered tailgate and a wide floor, and the rear backrests fold to accommodate longer loads. A load cover helps keep belongings out of sight, while the luggage-area power outlet adds convenience.
The XC60 cabin prioritises front-seat comfort, a well-equipped second row and luggage space within a five-seat layout.
Volvo XC60 Colour Options
Currently in India, there are seven colours available for the Volvo XC60, a higher number than most other cars in this category. Other colours may also have been available earlier during the earlier lifecycle of this model, but this table indicates the current offering of the XC60.
| Colour Name | Type (Metallic / Pearl / Solid) | Availability by Variant |
| Crystal White | Pearl | Ultra B5 AWD |
| Onyx Black | Metallic | Ultra B5 AWD |
| Denim Blue | Metallic | Ultra B5 AWD |
| Bright Dusk | Metallic | Ultra B5 AWD |
| Mulberry Red | Metallic | Ultra B5 AWD |
| Vapour Grey | Metallic | Ultra B5 AWD |
| Forest Lake | Metallic | Ultra B5 AWD |
The colour selection follows Volvo’s Indian listing, with finishes checked against Volvo’s paint specifications.
Crystal White emphasises the contour of the wheel arches and contrasts nicely with the dark grille openings. Onyx Black provides the car with a more uniform body colour and displays the shiny window surround and wheels brilliantly. Vapour Grey creates a neutral average tone. At the same time, Bright Dusk adds warmth and makes the vehicle appear more pleasant in the daytime.
Denim Blue is a deeper alternative to black, Forest Lake brings a green tone to the range, and Mulberry Red adds a richer red finish. These shades can look quite different under showroom lights and outdoors. When comparing listings, photographs taken in natural light make it easier to judge both the colour and how clearly the body contours show through it.
The XC60’s palette ranges from familiar white, black and grey finishes to more distinctive blue, green and red choices.
Summary
The attraction of the Volvo XC60 is not derived from revolutionary design but from steady exterior style. The diagonal grille and new wheels give the exterior a modern look, while the long hood, shiny trim and regular rear lights allow for a conventional feel. The colour options selected can prove to be either mild or exuberant.
Inside, the larger touchscreen updates a cabin built around supportive front seats, wood trim and thoughtful passenger comforts. The second row suits buyers who mainly carry two adults in the back, while the five-seat layout leaves a dedicated luggage compartment behind it. Explore used Volvo XC60 cars on Spinny and compare each vehicle’s photographs, model year, equipment and condition before deciding which example suits you.
