Mid-sized SUV has surpassed 240 as brand's bestseller

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

With more than 2.7million cars sold, the XC60 has surpassed the iconic 240 as the best-selling Volvo model ever.

Since its debut in 2008, Volvo Cars' 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.

The current generation XC60 introduced plug-in hybrid drivetrains to a broader audience, and it was the best-selling plug-in hybrid in Europe last year.

For the 2026 model year, the XC60 has undergone a significant refresh with a modernised design, more intuitive user experience, improved comfort, and a more responsive infotainment system.

"Growing up in Sweden in the 1980s, the Volvo 240 was the iconic family car - you could spot one in almost every driveway," says Susanne Hägglund, head of Global Offer at Volvo Cars.
