On the 26th, Volvo announced the release of the 2025 XC60. The XC60 is Volvo's representative popular model, having recorded the highest sales among imported SUVs with 5,831 units sold last year. According to the Korea Imported Automobile Association, it also ranked first in sales among SUV single models from January to July this year with 3,427 units sold.

The newly released model year update features a slight improvement in fuel efficiency through a powertrain upgrade and has obtained low-emission vehicle certification class 2. Owners of low-emission class 2 vehicles can enjoy benefits such as ▲50% discount at nationwide public parking lots ▲50% discount at nationwide airport parking lots ▲100% exemption from Seoul city congestion tolls.

The XC60 comes standard with safety features including 'City Safety,' which detects vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists on the road and supports emergency braking and collision avoidance in case of risk, and 'Pilot Assist,' which maintains distance from the vehicle ahead and assists steering to keep the vehicle centered in the lane, as well as ▲lane departure mitigation ▲collision avoidance from oncoming vehicles.
