The Volvo XC60 has long been the company’s top-selling car across the world. But in India, it’s yet to make much of an impact in the steadily expanding premium space. For 2021 the Volvo XC60 gets a rework with fresher styling cues, more features on the inside and a mild-hybrid petrol motor replacing the D5 diesel on sale earlier. While the changes aren’t monumental, it does seem like Volvo has finally brought an XC60 to India that is a more rounded competitor for the Indian market, not just for the added safety but also a strong set of value-adding features at par if not exceeding segment benchmarks. The question remains as to whether it will be enough to make a dent in the German-dominated space.
