2025 Volvo XC60 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Volvo XC60 compact luxury SUV is offered in four trim levels: Core, Plus, Ultra and Polestar Engineered.

Two engines are available for the Core, Plus and Ultra trims. The base engine, called B5, is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a 48-volt mild hybrid system (247 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque). The plug-in hybrid version, called the T8 AWD, uses the same engine paired with a hybrid powertrain. The gas/electric combination (455 hp and 523 lb-ft) is aided by an 18.8-kWh battery, which helps the XC60 T8 offer an estimated 35 miles of electric-only range. Both engines pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive is standard. The Polestar Engineered is only available with the T8 AWD plug-in hybrid powertrain.

Core
The entry-level trim is well equipped with plenty of advanced tech and safety features. Standard feature highlights include:

  • 18-inch wheels
  • Adaptive LED headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Auto-dimming interior and exterior mirrors
  • Cloth or synthetic leather upholstery (depending on color)
  • Heated front seats
  • Google-based infotainment system with Google Maps navigation
  • Digital instrument cluster
  • 9-inch infotainment display
  • Apple CarPlay connectivity
  • 10-speaker audio system
  • Portable charging cable (T8 AWD plug-in hybrid only)

Standard advanced driver aids include:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the XC60 back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Automatic reverse braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • Rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible behind the vehicle when parking)

Plus
Stepping up to the Plus trim adds:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Synthetic leather
  • Cabin air purifier
  • Front, rear and side parking sensors
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the vehicle and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Lane centering system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Pilot Assist (combines lane centering and adaptive cruise control functionality)

Ultra
The Ultra trim is the most luxurious model, with upgrades including:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Upgraded Nappa leather upholstery
  • Heated and ventilated front seats with additional thigh and side adjustments
  • Four-zone automatic climate control
  • Crystal gear selector knob
  • 14-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)

Polestar Engineered
The Polestar Engineered trim is the sporty alternative in the lineup and is only offered with the plug-in hybrid powertrain. Other upgrades include:

  • 21-inch wheels with summer performance tires
  • Sport-tuned suspension
  • Adjustable Ohlins suspension dampers
  • Brembo brakes with gold-painted calipers
  • Additional front seat adjustments
  • Heated rear seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins premium audio

Multiple options are available depending on trim. All trims can opt for the Climate package, which includes:

  • Heated steering wheel
  • Heated rear seats
  • Headlight washers

The Ultra trim also offers the Black Edition package, which adds:

  • Onyx Black paint
  • 21-inch black wheels
  • Gloss-black badges
  • Choice of charcoal leather or blended leather/textile upholstery

Stand-alone options include:

  • Power liftgate (all trims)
  • Integrated rear child-seat boosters (all trims)
  • Harman Kardon premium audio system (Plus)
  • Massaging front seats (Ultra)
  • 15-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system (Ultra)
  • Adaptive air suspension (Ultra)
  • 22-inch wheels (Ultra and Polestar Engineered)

Which XC60 trim does Edmunds recommend?

Although most luxury-SUV shoppers will be happy with the generous list of features from the base Core trim, we recommend opting for the Plus trim for the added advanced driver aids that help make driving easier and safer. Upgrading to the Plus trim adds a 360-degree camera system, the Pilot Assist drive system, and front, rear and side parking sensors.
