2022 Volvo XC60: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2022 Volvo XC60 is its mid-cycle refresh, led by a new Google-based touchscreen system that replaces the older Sensus interface. It also gets cleaner exterior styling, and later-built Recharge models use a stronger extended-range plug-in hybrid system.
About the 2022 Volvo XC60
2nd generation (2018-2025), mid-cycle refresh year
Volvo positions the XC60 as a right-sized luxury SUV that blends Scandinavian design, strong safety engineering, and calm everyday comfort. It is meant for buyers who want premium materials and useful technology without an aggressive or flashy personality. Compared with rivals, the XC60 leans into a quieter cabin feel, thoughtful safety features, and simple, clean styling, while still offering choices that range from gas models to powerful plug-in hybrids.
The gas lineup ranges from the understated B5 Momentum, with a panoramic moonroof and digital instrument display, to sport-themed R-Design and luxury-focused Inscription versions with Harman Kardon audio. Recharge models add plug-in hybrid AWD, while the Polestar Engineered version stands out with adjustable Öhlins suspension, upgraded Akebono brakes, and Bowers & Wilkins audio.
What changed, by category
Styling
The front and rear styling is refreshed with a revised grille and a cleaner rear treatment that hides the tailpipes.
Tech
A 9-inch Google-based touchscreen system replaces Volvo's older Sensus interface across the lineup.
Powertrain
Gas trims adopt B5 and B6 names in place of T5 and T6. The former T6 Momentum does not continue, while the T6 Inscription and R-Design become B6 models. Later-built Recharge plug-in hybrids gain Volvo's stronger extended-range system with more electric range and power.

The 2022 Volvo XC60 receives a mid-cycle update with refreshed front and rear styling and a Google-based touchscreen system replacing Sensus. Gas trims also change from T5 and T6 names to B5 and B6, and later-built Recharge models gain a stronger extended-range plug-in hybrid system.
