Volvo Singapore gets two new XC60 SUV variants

For the upcoming model year, Volvo Singapore has refreshed its XC60 SUV, which will now offer two variants: The XC60 T8 Plus PHEV and the XC60 B5 Plus mild hybrid.

The exterior of the refreshed XC60 sports features such as a front grille in gloss black, roof rails, door mirror covers, and side window trim in gloss black. The model will also offer two new exterior colours: Forest Lake and Aurora Silver, with Mulberry Red also available on the refreshed XC60 for the first time.

Volvo has said that since the XC60's introduction in 2017, it has been the brand's global top-selling model

Inside, both the XC60 B5 Plus mild hybrid and T8 Plus PHEV now feature luxurious Nappa leather upholstery, paired with either Natural Driftwood or White Driftwood decor inlays. It also has upgrades such as refined accent trims, enhanced storage compartments and redesigned cupholders, an upgraded wireless phone charger and a spacious load area.

Both variants will also have power adjustable seat with memory, ventilation, and heating for the front seats, as well as four-way adjustable lumbar support. The comfort doesn't start there for front row passengers, with thigh support cushion extensions also included.

The refreshed XC60 features Volvo's new-generation 11.2-inch free-standing touchscreen offering a sharper display. Its infotainment system has built-in Google services and is powered by the next-generation Snapdragon Cockpit Platform that makes it more than twice as fast as its predecessor, as well as 10 times faster graphics generation, with the result being a more responsive, intuitive system.

Both XC60 variants will also come equipped with the 14-speaker Harman Kardon Premium Sound System, with the Bowers & Wilkins High Fidelity System as an option.

The XC60 also offers other additional equipment such as a panoramic sunroof with power operation, power retractable door mirrors with auto dimming, and illuminated door handles with puddle lights. In addition, the driver's head-up display will only be available on the XC60 T8 Plus PHEV variant.

As is the case with most Volvo vehicles, safety takes centre stage, and the XC60 is no different, featuring a plethora of features such as Adaptive Cruise Control with Pilot assist, Blind Spot Information System, Whiplash Protection System for Front Seats, Power Child Lock for Rear Doors, and City Safety with Full Auto Brake and Pedestrian, Cyclist, or Large Animal Detection.

The XC60 B5 Plus mild hybrid is an AWD that comes equipped with a 48V mild hybrid system and offers an output of 188kW (247bhp) and 360Nm of torque. It has a top speed of 180km/h and completes the century sprint in 6.9 seconds.

As for the XC60 T8 Plus PHEV, it is also an AWD, with a combined output of 228kW (306bhp) and 400Nm of torque. It also offers a top speed of 180km/h, but it has a faster century sprint timing than the mild hybrid variant, at 4.9 seconds. In addition, it has an 18.8kWh battery and a maximum charge rate of 6.4kW AC charging. This allows it to go from 0-100% in three hours.
