Introducing the new Volvo XC60
If you want a premium family SUV that feels easy to drive every day, the new Volvo XC60 fits the bill. It mixes Volvo's safety-first approach with the kind of comfort and practicality that suits commuting, weekend plans, and busy family routines.
For 2026, the XC60 also brings a big usability upgrade inside. You now get an 11.2-inch centre display with Google built-in that's designed to be 2x faster than before, with a cleaner layout that's quicker to understand at a glance. That matters on a normal day because you spend less time waiting for menus to load, and more time focusing on the drive.
When you're ready, you can book a test drive with Vertu and see how the XC60 feels on your usual roads.

New Volvo XC60 FAQs
Is the new Volvo XC60 easy to park in tight spaces?
For a mid-size SUV, the XC60 feels manageable in car parks and tighter streets, especially when it's specified with parking sensors and a reversing camera or 360-degree camera (availability varies by trim/spec). The higher seating position also helps you judge the front corners and space around the car.
What warranty cover should I expect on a new Volvo XC60?
Volvo's manufacturer warranty is typically three years, although exact terms can vary by model year and retailer offer. Plug-in hybrid versions also usually include separate cover for high-voltage battery components. Your Vertu dealership can confirm the current warranty package for the specific XC60 you're considering.
Should I choose a fixed or flexible servicing plan for a new Volvo XC60?
A fixed plan can suit you if you prefer predictable costs and you like to budget monthly. A flexible plan can work well if your mileage changes from year to year. Either way, keeping the XC60 on schedule helps protect long-term condition and resale value. You can also explore Volvo servicing with Vertu.
Which new Volvo XC60 trim should I choose?
Core suits you if you want the key features covered without stepping up into the higher trims. Plus often makes sense for families because it can add everyday comfort and convenience that you notice every week. Ultra is the right choice if you want the most premium interior and the widest range of comfort and tech features available.
Are the tech features of the new Volvo XC60 easy to use?
Yes, and the 2026 update is a big part of that. The 11.2-inch Google display is designed to react faster and feel simpler, so key tasks like navigation changes and media controls take less effort. Voice control through Google Assistant also helps reduce time spent tapping through menus.
What insurance group is the new Volvo XC60 in?
The XC60 typically sits in higher insurance groups because it's a premium SUV with higher list prices and more complex parts than mainstream alternatives. Grouping can also change depending on the exact engine and trim, so it's best to check the insurance group for the specific XC60 variant you're looking at.
