[ĐÁNH GIÁ XE] Volvo XC60 Ultra 2026: Luxury family car

Exterior: still luxurious but more modern

In the four-wheeled world, perhaps the design of European cars is always ranked highest and becomes the standard for Asian car manufacturers to learn from. The special attraction of European cars is always the beautiful, perfect distribution of sizes and proportions. That beauty does not need any embellishment of frilly details following the fading trend; simple but timeless over the years.

Consumers often whisper to each other: European cars are out of fashion. Volvo XC60 is a typical product line for that saying. Entering 2026, the XC60 Ultra update only lightly tweaks a few details, including the front radiator “face” with criss-cross patterns in a stacked layer style with a modern flat design style. The car’s “legs” have also been updated with a new interface, with 5 stylized double-spokes and 19-inch wheels.

If you are truly a “hard fan” of the Nordic car company, you will be able to recognize that the design of the taillights also has a difference in the interior motifs. The most noticeable change on the 2026 Volvo XC60 Ultra will definitely be the new green Forest Lake color, in addition to the 4 exterior color options that existed on the previous product generation.

Interior: simple but still high-class and sophisticated

Stepping into the interior of the Volvo XC60 Ultra 2026, you will definitely still see the luxurious atmosphere of a high-end product from Europe. Every detail, even the smallest, is designed, selected materials and assembled meticulously and meticulously. Common highlights include the Swedish flag engraved on the air vent trim, sewn on the leather seat trim; the natural roughness when the skin of the hand glides over the rustic wood covering the saddle; Or simply the cool feeling when touching the crystal gear lever that is refracting sunlight in an extremely smooth way.

If you “look” more meticulously, users will easily recognize the extremely discreet difference that makes Volvo far ahead of the “rest” of the car universe: The front and rear headrests are designed with thin curves that seem to be just a design flair, but hidden behind them are patents proving the ability to protect the neck and nape of passengers if a collision occurs. Two child height booster seats are built-in in the rear seats: neat, humane and still the only car company to provide this equipment (in Vietnam). Or even the linings under the trunk are carefully selected so as not to break into sharp pieces and harm people in an accident.

If German cars are often praised as “over-engineered” products (designed beyond technical standards), then perhaps Volvo should be known as a brand that makes “over-humanity” cars (superior design for people). Just learn the story behind the three-point seat belt – the most popular car safety device today in the world, you will recognize it and agree with me.

Simple yet sophisticated, safe and high-class, but not all. Volvo XC60 Ultra 2026 is also supplemented with many convenient equipment, to bring convenience to users. First of all, the central screen is located in the middle of the dashboard. Not only has the size been upgraded to 11.2 inches and the Volvo Car UX interface has been updated to be more intuitive; The new generation Snapdragon Cockpit chip from Qualcomm also helps the processing speed twice as fast. The 4-zone independent air conditioning system also integrates the Clean Zone PM 2.5 standard fine dust filter. Bowers & Wilkins High Fidelity entertainment sound system with up to 15 speakers, giving a total capacity of 1,410W. And with the familiar Volvo Cars application, users can easily control their car right on their smartphone. Technology was invented to serve people and the 2026 Volvo XC60 Ultra is thoroughly applying that.
