4315 Boulevard Métropolitain Est, Montreal, QC, H1R 1Z4With the introduction of the Volvo XC60 2026, the Swedish brand is offering a vintage model with a modernised design, a revised interior and enhanced technologies.
But one question remains: after 8 years in existence, how does the 2026 model really differ from previous generations?
In this article, we take a look at the changes to the Volvo XC60 2026 and the new features introduced for this model year.
Since 2018, the Volvo XC60 has not undergone any significant changes in terms of aesthetics, either inside or out.
However, on closer inspection, Volvo is inspired by the Kaizen philosophy, which aims to perfect its models year after year without major upheaval. For example, the integration of Google into the vehicle's interface, light hybridisation on internal combustion engines, and increased soundproofing in the 2026 model year thanks to laminated windows that reduce air noise at high speeds.
"With its cutting-edge user experience, updated Scandinavian design, enhanced comfort and even more luxurious interior, the XC60 raises the bar for compact SUVs," says Erik Severinson.
But beyond the ongoing improvements, the Volvo XC60 2026 is still worth considering thanks to its residual value when it hits the used car market. In fact, the XC60 retains around 52% of its original value after five years, with an estimated resale value of $32,029. A pretty decent score in comparison to other luxury brands.
The year 2026 marks the continuation of elements that have made the Volvo EX60 such a success, while adding subtle touches of improvement.
The Volvo XC60 2026 features a new air intake, emblazoned with Volvo Cars' famous iron badge, echoing recent updates to the XC90. The exterior design also benefits from new wheel options. Not forgetting the rear lights, which have been darkened to modernise the overall silhouette.
The New XC60 2026 introduces two new colours: Forest Lake, Aurora Silver and Mulberry Red, which can already be found on the new Volvo XC90. At Volvo Cars Saint-Léonard, we have a crush on these colours and can't wait to see them on the Volvo XC60.
One of the most notable changes for 2026 is the introduction of an 11.2-inch floating central screen.
With a 21% increase in pixel density, the display is even sharper and, above all, more responsive thanks to Qualcomm's next-generation Snapdragon Cockpit platform, which makes the infotainment system twice as fast, while offering graphics that are ten times better than its predecessor.
The interior has also been updated with new premium materials such as Quilted Nordico and Navy Herringbone Weave. Not to mention the addition of smart new storage compartments, new cupholders and a new compartment for the wireless charger.
For music lovers, the 2026 vintage marks an improvement for the Bowers & Wilkins audio system with a new speaker grille design. The aim is to deliver an even more significant sound experience.
While full details of the Volvo XC60 2026 offering and pricing are still to come, it's certain that this model will continue to offer excellent value for money for those looking for a luxurious, technologically advanced and comfortable SUV.
The Volvo XC60 2026 thermal offers a basic warranty of 4 years or 80,000 km. The powertrain is covered for 5 years or 100,000 km, and there is a 12-year anti-corrosion warranty against body perforation.
The first units of the Volvo XC60 2026 are expected in dealerships later this year. However, it is already possible to discover the previous models, particularly those of 2025, to get an idea of the vehicle's road holding before reserving the Volvo XC60 2026.
For those who would like to know more and schedule a test drive, Volvo Saint-Léonard à Montréal offers online appointment booking to allow you to discover the vehicle in the best possible conditions.
