What Each 2026 Volvo XC60 Trim Adds, From Core to Ultra

The 2026 Volvo XC60 lineup builds in clear steps. Core sets the foundation, Plus adds driver support and cabin upgrades, and Ultra brings the comfort and technology that make long drives easier. Each trim is offered with the B5 AWD mild hybrid or the T8 AWD plug-in hybrid, and every one of them uses all-wheel drive.

Knowing exactly what each step adds makes the decision simple. Below, you will find what comes with each trim, who it suits best and a side-by-side table to help you choose the 2026 XC60 that fits your budget and your daily drive.

2026 XC60 Core

The XC60 Core gives you the XC60’s all-wheel drive, a choice of powertrains and a cabin trimmed in quilted Nordico upholstery in Charcoal or Cardamom. It rolls on 18-inch 5-spoke glossy black diamond cut wheels, with 19-inch wheels offered as an option.

Core includes the High Performance audio system, two-zone climate control with an air quality system and power 2-way lumbar support. A rear park assist camera helps when reversing. Core buyers can add the heated steering wheel, heated rear seats and headlight cleaning as options, so the winter setup is easy to tailor.

2026 XC60 Plus

The XC60 Plus is where driver support takes a big step forward. Pilot Assist joins the standard list, along with a 360° camera and park assist at the front, rear and sides. These features make highway drives more relaxed and tight parking spots far easier to handle.

Plus also upgrades the cabin. You get high-level interior illumination, an air purifier with remote cabin pre-cleaning and HomeLink for your garage door. The wheels grow to 19-inch 5-double spoke designs, with 20-inch wheels as an option. Harman Kardon Premium Sound and an air-ventilated subwoofer are available as options, and the colour palette adds Bright Dusk, Mulberry Red and Forest Lake.

The seats get a major upgrade. Ultra brings ventilated nappa leather upholstery, front seat ventilation, power side bolsters, power 4-way lumbar support, a power cushion extension for the driver and a power passenger seat with memory.
