Full specifications
| Engine capacity | 2 LnoteVolvo South Africa publishes no engine capacity row for this car. The T8’s 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol unit is common to the XC60 range. |
| Cylinders | 4noteVolvo South Africa publishes no cylinder count for this car. |
| Power | 299 kWnoteCombined system output. Volvo SA labels these figures provisional, verbatim: "Range figures are preliminary and based on WLTP testing standards", "Power figures are preliminary and derive from estimates and calculations performed by Volvo Cars for the Volvo XC60" and "Vehicle certification pending." |
| Torque | 669 NmnoteCombined system torque. Volvo SA labels these figures provisional, verbatim: "Range figures are preliminary and based on WLTP testing standards", "Power figures are preliminary and derive from estimates and calculations performed by Volvo Cars for the Volvo XC60" and "Vehicle certification pending." |
| Transmission | 8-speed Geartronic automatic |
| Gears | 8 |
| Drivetrain | AWD |
| Consumption cycle | Combined cycle (test standard not stated by manufacturer)noteNo cycle is named by anyone for this figure. Volvo SA publishes no consumption figure and so names no cycle for one; it does name WLTP, explicitly, for the electric range. |
| Fuel consumption | 1.4 L/100km (weighted, charged battery)noteVolvo South Africa publishes no fuel-consumption figure for this car at all. This is the weighted combined plug-in hybrid figure, which assumes a charged battery, not a petrol-only number. |
| Fuel tank | 71 L |
| Fuel grade | Not specified |
| 0-100 km/h | 4.9 s |
| CO2 emissions | Not specified |
| Seats | 5 |
| Doors | 5noteNot published by Volvo SA; the standard five-door XC60 body. |
| Length | 4 708 mm |
| Width | 1 902 mmnoteExcluding mirrors. Volvo also publishes 2 117 mm including mirrors and 1 999 mm with mirrors folded. |
| Height | 1 651 mmnoteVolvo’s label is "Vehicle height at curb weight with one person". |
| Wheelbase | 2 865 mm |
| Ground clearance | Not specified |
| Boot (behind 2nd row) | 468 LnoteVolvo’s "(open)" figure, to the load cover, seats up. Volvo also publishes 598 l to the roof. The T8 boot is 15 litres smaller seats-up than the B5 mild hybrid’s 483 l, the drive battery taking the space. |
| Boot (behind last row) | Not specified |
| Boot (seats folded) | 1 528 LnoteVolvo’s "(max)" figure, to the roof, seats folded. Volvo also publishes 950 l to the load cover with the seats folded. |
| Kerb weight | 2 150 kgnoteVolvo’s own label is "Weight (running order mass)"; Volvo does not use the term kerb weight. |
| Gross vehicle mass | 2 660 kg |
| Payload | Not specified |
| Towing (braked) | 2 250 kgnoteVolvo’s label is "Trailer max weight". |
| Towing (unbraked) | Not specified |
| Safety rating | Not specified |
| Airbags | Not specified |
| Airbag positions | Not specified |
| Warranty | Not specified |
| Warranty distance | Not specified Compare warranties across all SUVs → |
| Service interval (distance) | Not specified |
| Service interval (time) | Not specified |
| Spare wheel | Repair kit No spare wheel. Volvo SA’s plug-in hybrid specification page lists a temporary mobility kit where its B5 mild-hybrid page lists a temporary spare wheel, the drive battery occupying the under-floor well. Compare spare wheels across all SUVs →noteNo spare wheel; a temporary mobility kit instead. |
| Service network | Not stated Compare service networks across all brands → |
| Range (WLTP) | 81 kmnoteThe same 81 km figure, recorded against WLTP because Volvo SA names that cycle for it. |
| Electric-only range | 81 kmnoteVolvo South Africa names WLTP for this figure explicitly, which it does not do for consumption. Volvo SA labels these figures provisional, verbatim: "Range figures are preliminary and based on WLTP testing standards", "Power figures are preliminary and derive from estimates and calculations performed by Volvo Cars for the Volvo XC60" and "Vehicle certification pending." |
| Battery (gross) | 19 kWhnoteVolvo’s own label is "Battery energy (nominal)"; Volvo does not use the words gross, usable or net in any market checked. Volvo Bulgaria’s MY26 price list gives the same pack more precisely as 18.8 kWh, so SA’s 19 kWh is a rounding. |
| Max DC charging | N/A |
| Max AC charging | 6.4 kW |
| DC charge 10-80% | N/A |
| Battery warranty | 8 yearsnoteNot stated on volvocars.com/za. |
| Battery warranty distance | 160 000 kmnoteNot stated on volvocars.com/za. |
What we can't tell you yet
Everything below was searched for. Lines marked (unverified) show a figure that only one source gives, or that sources disagree on; the rest have not been published anywhere we could find for this version.
- Fuel grade — Not published for this derivative by the manufacturer or any source worked in the hierarchy.
- CO2 emissions — Volvo South Africa publishes no CO2 figure for this car, giving the Euro 6e-bis environmental classification instead. SA pricing sites give 33 g/km, Volvo UK and Volvo Bulgaria 22 g/km and Volvo Malta 65 g/km for the same derivative; the spread is real and wheel- and option-dependent under the revised utility factor, so no figure is recorded.
- Ground clearance — Not published for this derivative by the manufacturer or any source worked in the hierarchy.
- Boot (behind last row) — Not published for this derivative by the manufacturer or any source worked in the hierarchy.
- Payload — Not published for this derivative by the manufacturer or any source worked in the hierarchy.
- Towing (unbraked) — Volvo South Africa publishes no unbraked trailer figure. Cars.co.za and a Volvo brochure from another market give 750 kg, which is not recorded here.
- Global NCAP rating — Not published for this derivative by the manufacturer or any source worked in the hierarchy.
- Euro NCAP rating — Not published for this derivative by the manufacturer or any source worked in the hierarchy.
- ANCAP rating — Not published for this derivative by the manufacturer or any source worked in the hierarchy.
- Airbags — Not published for this derivative by the manufacturer or any source worked in the hierarchy.
- Airbag positions — Not verified for this derivative.
- Warranty — Volvo South Africa publishes no warranty terms on its XC60 model or specification pages, and SA sources disagree. Cars.co.za and CAR Magazine report 5 years/100 000 km; a July 2025 report of Volvo SA’s own announcement gives the standard XC60 plan as 3 years/60 000 km with a 7-year/140 000 km promotion that closed in September 2025. Not recorded until a Volvo SA source or dealer settles it.
- Warranty distance — Not published for this derivative by the manufacturer or any source worked in the hierarchy.
- Warranty distance unlimited — Not published for this derivative by the manufacturer or any source worked in the hierarchy.
- Service plan — See warranty_years: SA sources disagree between 5 years/100 000 km and 3 years/60 000 km and Volvo SA publishes nothing.
- Service plan services — Not published for this derivative by the manufacturer or any source worked in the hierarchy.
- Service plan distance — Not published for this derivative by the manufacturer or any source worked in the hierarchy.
- Service interval (distance) — Not published for this derivative by the manufacturer or any source worked in the hierarchy.
