2 Answers
Volvo XC60-2018 and 2019 models have the following specific differences: 1. Exterior design: The 2019 Volvo XC60 has optimized the family-style front face compared to the 2018 model, with clean and crisp lines; meanwhile, the 2019 model replaces the old mesh grille with a vertical grille and installs a front camera in the logo. 2. Interior design: The 2019 Volvo XC60's interior design is more luxurious and technologically advanced than the 2018 model. 3. Power: The 2019 Volvo XC60 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, and the power in sport mode is more aggressive than the 2018 model.
I've been driving the XC60 for a while now, and my 2018 model serves as my daily ride with ample power, luxurious interior, and a stable driving experience. However, when I test drove a friend's 2019 model last year, the biggest difference was the upgraded infotainment system—much faster response and more accurate voice control. In terms of safety, the 2019 model enhanced the City Safety system, making automatic braking more sensitive, especially reassuring in rainy or foggy conditions. The seat material was slightly thickened, reducing fatigue on long drives. The space remained unchanged, but the 2019 model added wireless charging—super convenient for just placing your phone on it. Maintenance costs for the 2018 model had more minor issues initially, like faster tire wear, while the 2019 model's tuning was more refined. Fuel consumption was similar for both, around 7L for city commuting. Overall, the 2019 model offers incremental improvements, and if the budget allows, I'd recommend going for it outright. I also noticed that the 2019 model holds its value slightly better in the used car market.
