Compact SUVs represent one of the most competitive classes on the luxury market. But while there are plenty of options for discerning drivers to choose from, the Volvo XC60 stands out for its inimitable blend of first-class accommodations, practical versatility, and signature Scandinavian style. And for 2022, the Volvo XC60 is even better—boasting upgraded mild-hybrid powertrains, an all-new infotainment system, and a lightly refreshed aesthetic. Here's a quick look at what's new.
Mild-Hybrid Powertrains
The turbocharged T5 and twincharged T6 engines have been swapped out for new B5 and B6 mild-hybrid (MHEV) versions. The new powertrains feature a 48V electric motor and battery pack to harvest energy via regenerative braking and redeploy it to help reduce the engine's work during higher load situations like ignition and stop-starting. The result is better efficiency, smoother performance, and lower emissions.
Android Automotive OS
The 2022 XC60 replaces the outgoing Sensus infotainment system with Google's Android Automotive OS. This cutting-edge system provides unprecedented control of the infotainment features, cabin settings, and more. Over-the-air update capability ensures you always have access to the latest features. Integrated Google Assistant allows you to use natural speech to make calls, play music, get directions, control the climate, and more. There's also native support for iPhone users via Apple CarPlay.
Refreshed Style
The 2022 XC60 sports a lightly refreshed exterior style, with reshaped bumpers, new wheel designs, and a reworked front grille. On the inside, Volvo's sophisticated "City Weave" premium textile upholstery is available for the XC60 for the first time.
