November 05 2024,
As Volvo looks to the future, 2025 brings some notable updates and shifts in its lineup, reflecting the company’s continued push towards electrification and innovation. Here’s a closer look at each model.
Volvo S60
The 2025 Volvo S60 lineup simplifies to focus exclusively on the T8 Plug-in Hybrid powertrain. This decision aligns with Volvo's emphasis on electrified options, offering a strong mix of power and efficiency. The T8’s 64-kilometre electric-only range will make it ideal for both urban commuting and longer drives, and the S60’s minimalist yet luxurious interior reinforces Volvo’s commitment to craftsmanship and sustainable materials.
Volvo S90
Production of the S90 for the Canadian market has officially ended, but inventories will be available into 2025 until the fully electric ES90 makes its debut. This transition marks a significant shift for Volvo as it phases out combustion engines for larger sedans, setting the stage for the arrival of the advanced ES90, which promises to be a leader in luxury electric mobility.
Volvo V60
For 2025, the Volvo V60 will be available in two specific forms: the V60 Cross Country, featuring the mild-hybrid B5 powertrain, and the V60 Polestar with the powerful T8 Plug-in Hybrid. The V60 Cross Country’s higher ground clearance and rugged design make it ideal for outdoor adventures, while the plug-in hybrid model offers an electrified option for drivers seeking efficient, premium performance.
Volvo V90
Volvo’s larger wagon, the V90, will continue exclusively in its Cross Country version. The V90 Cross Country combines utility with Volvo’s renowned elegance, providing the durability needed for diverse terrains. This model emphasizes versatility and comfort, with an upscale interior that showcases Volvo’s commitment to sustainable, luxurious design.
Volvo XC40
The XC40 lineup in 2025 is streamlined to offer the B5 engine only. Known for its efficient power delivery, the B5 engine provides a reliable blend of performance and fuel economy, making the XC40 ideal for urban and suburban settings. With a compact design and comfortable interior, the XC40 continues to be a versatile choice for those seeking a compact luxury SUV.
Volvo XC60
The 2025 Volvo XC60 also focuses on the B5 engine, now optimized for a 4% improvement in fuel economy. This refinement underscores Volvo’s focus on efficiency in its mid-size SUV lineup, making the XC60 a strong option for drivers looking for a comfortable, high-tech vehicle with enhanced efficiency. The plug-in hybrid T8 powertrain continues to be offered, giving drivers the option for an even more powerful and efficient compact SUV.
Volvo XC90
The XC90, Volvo’s flagship SUV, continues in its current form through early 2025. However, an updated version is set to launch mid-year, featuring design changes and a larger touchscreen with Volvo’s latest infotainment software first seen in the EX30 and EX90. This refresh ensures that the XC90 remains competitive in the luxury SUV market, offering advanced technology and modern aesthetics for a refined driving experience.
Volvo EX30
New for 2025, the Volvo EX30 compact electric SUV has been on sale for a few months already, delivering an eco-conscious, high-tech driving experience. The EX30 offers two powertrains: a single-motor setup for those prioritizing range, and a dual-motor option for enhanced performance. With cutting-edge technology like advanced driver assistance and Google integration, the EX30 is designed for drivers seeking a small, capable, and fully electric SUV.
Volvo EX40
The EX40, rebranded from last year’s XC40 Recharge, is Volvo’s electrified compact SUV, now available with an optional performance pack delivering up to 436 horsepower. This new performance capability can be paired with an available black edition, adding a sleek aesthetic edge. The EX40 offers a dynamic yet sustainable driving experience, perfect for those seeking an electric SUV with both style and power.
Volvo EC40
Formerly the C40 Recharge, the EC40 is Volvo’s all-electric crossover coupe. In 2025, it also introduces an available performance pack, boosting power to 436 horsepower. The EC40 also offers a black edition, bringing a bold, stylish look to this sporty model. Its powerful performance and distinct coupe design make the EC40 a standout choice for eco-conscious drivers who appreciate style and performance.
Volvo EX90
Arriving soon, the all-electric EX90 will be Volvo’s flagship SUV, showcasing the brand’s most advanced technology and powertrain options. The EX90 features a powerful dual-motor setup, delivering impressive acceleration and range, with advanced tech features including lidar-based driver assistance and next-level infotainment. As Volvo’s top-tier electric offering, the EX90 redefines luxury in an eco-friendly package, blending sustainable materials with high-tech features for a premium experience.
In summary, Volvo’s 2025 lineup emphasizes the brand’s ongoing journey towards an electrified future, with new models and updates across the board that cater to drivers seeking performance, technology, and sustainability.
