2025 Volvo V60: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The main change for the 2025 Volvo V60 is simpler trim naming. The top Cross Country trim becomes Ultra, while the plug-in-hybrid performance wagon drops Recharge from its name without receiving an equipment upgrade.
About the 2025 Volvo V60
2nd generation (V60 introduced for 2019; V60 Cross Country for 2020), late-cycle year and final US year for the Polestar Engineered wagon
The V60 range combines the lower roofline, handling, and cargo flexibility of a wagon with Volvo’s safety focus and clean Scandinavian cabin design. Cross Country versions add standard AWD, extra ground clearance, Off Road mode, and hill-descent control for poor weather and unpaved roads without moving to a taller SUV. The Polestar Engineered version trades that trail-oriented stance for a powerful plug-in-hybrid system, upgraded brakes, and performance suspension.
The V60 Cross Country is the raised, all-wheel-drive version, with off-road driving aids, a panoramic roof, leather seating, and a 360-degree camera on the Plus trim. Ultra adds ventilated Nappa leather seats, Harman Kardon audio, four-zone climate control, and a head-up display. The lower V60 Polestar Engineered pairs a 455-hp plug-in-hybrid system with specialized Öhlins suspension, Brembo brakes, and Bowers & Wilkins audio.
