The XC60 is now the best-selling Volvo car of all time

With over 2.7 million units sold, the Volvo XC60 has now overtaken the iconic Volvo 240 to claim the title of the best-selling model in the brand's history.


Since its debut in 2008, the mid-size SUV has remained a favourite among customers, appealing to a wide range of drivers who value safety, quality and a premium driving experience. Initially built exclusively in Europe, the XC60 later became the first global Volvo model to also be produced in China, supporting local sales. In 2018, it was named ‘World Car of the Year’ and more recently the best-selling plug-in hybrid in Europe in 2024.

For the 2026 model year, the XC60 has received a significant update, featuring a modernised design, enhanced comfort, a more intuitive user experience, and a more responsive infotainment system. You can discover the features in lots more depth here.

Safety at its core

Safety has been at the core of Volvo’s identity since the company was founded in 1927 and in all models since. From the introduction of the Child Booster Cushion in 1978 which marked a world-first innovation - to today’s advanced driver assistance systems, every Volvo is built with protection in mind.

Since its launch, the Volvo XC60 has led the way in automotive safety, introducing groundbreaking technologies like City Safety - the world’s first standard low-speed automatic emergency braking system - and Oncoming Lane Mitigation, which helps steer the vehicle back into its lane to avoid head-on collisions. These innovations, many of which have since become industry standards, have earned the XC60 multiple independent safety awards.

Working towards an all-electric future
The latest XC60, along with other recent upgrades across the range, also play a key role in Volvo Cars’ electrification strategy, offering pure electric driving with the reassurance of a combustion engine for those not quite ready to go fully electric.
