The 2025 Volvo XC60 carries over unchanged from 2024, continuing to offer a five-seat layout with mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrain options. Pricing starts at $48,345 (all prices include destination), placing it among competitors like the Acura RDX, Audi Q5, BMW X3, Lincoln Corsair and Mercedes-Benz GLC. We’ve been impressed with previous XC60s in this generation, as Volvo’s mid-size SUV combines minimalist design with a focus on safety and practicality, reflecting Volvo’s established approach to the luxury SUV segment.

Trim Levels
The XC60 is offered in three trims: Core, Plus and Ultra. The Core trim serves as the entry point, delivering features like a panoramic moonroof and a suite of standard safety technology, which includes forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring with steering assist, cross-traffic alert and lane departure steering assist. Stepping up to the Plus trim adds conveniences such as Volvo’s Pilot Assist semi-autonomous driving system, as well as upgraded interior lighting and a 360-degree camera. The Ultra trim is the most equipped, including luxuries like a Harman Kardon premium sound system, an air purifier for improved cabin air quality, ventilated front seats and a head-up display.
The XC60 lineup also includes the Black Edition, offered in the Ultra trim for both gas and PHEV models, which features blacked-out design elements. For those prioritizing performance, the Polestar Engineered variant — available only with the PHEV — adds chassis tuning and other upgrades tailored for sportier driving.
All trims feature Google Built-In, Apple CarPlay, heated front seats and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster.
