We are preparing to pull the trigger on an XC60 and curious if there are any differences in equipment/trims compared to MY24. Does anyone have access to the order guide for (or know of any changes to) MY25? Thanks in advance!

I’m in the same boat and also about to get a 2024 XC60 Recharge. I’ve been asking around and trying to research this since the new Costco deal came out last month. From everything I’ve seen on this forum and elsewhere, it seems there will be basically no material changes for 2025. Some naming changes is about all I can find - XC60 Recharge changes “Plug-in Hybrid” for example.
Happy to hear if anyone knows anything different?
Not that the order guides won't provide the info you're looking for...but just a heads up that Thom löv is going to be going over the changes for the '25 XC60 in an upcoming video, he mentions it here where he'll be testing the car and going over the changes.
...also, I had started a thread in News asking about the availability of Polestar Engineered models for '25, the guys on that thread have copies.

There is very little changed from '24 to '25. The Ultimates will now be called Ultras, on the Ultra the Charcoal interior option will now have the Driftwood inlay. No more Fusion Red either. Otherwise it's the same vehicle.
If there are going to be some technical changes they won't be mentioned. Volvo revised the vehicle camera system with MY24 cars so that they are more reliable. The XC40 furthermore switched it's taillight wiring system with MY24.
MY26 or maybe MY27 will likely receive some noticable upgrades. This info came from Volvo management at the beginning of the year.

The SPA vehicles are getting real long in the tooth. Sure, there has been some very significant upgrades (like the more recent PHEV drivetrains) but the guts of the model has been around since the XC90 hit dealer lots in 2016. The current XC60 dates back to 2018. Aspects of the vehicle are really beginning to show the age (especially in the interior). Its long past time for a major model change.

The XC90 is going to have a refresh. The 2025 model year for the XC90 is abbreviated, actually the books are going to close on it shortly. There will be a refreshed model that focuses more on the interior than anything else (I don't have specific detail yet) so that will do a lot to keep the car relevant. There is a rumour that it will be PHEV only but I can't confirm this yet.
Nobody is sure yet if the XC60 will get a refresh. The EX60 will probably get teased early next year and will start producing once the plant in Slovakia is ready to open. Whether they run the EX60 and XC60 concurrently is anyone's guess - I believe they are playing a wait and see game. Should be a great vehicle, the only stumbling block that would prompt Volvo to refresh the XC60 is the North American market.
The styling of the SPA cars and the CMAs are pretty ageless. Both vehicles are selling just as well now as they ever did.

I've owned a 2017 Audi A4 and my wife still has her 2018 Audi Q5 and both have not been updated much either. I think most are keeping their current gas/hybrid line up for as long as the market can bear. The current Porsche Macan has been around since 2016 (I think).
If you think the SPA cars feel old, you should've driven my old Alfa Stelvo Quad. it was a 2018 with no touch screen, no 360 deg camera, HID head lights and ANALOG GAUGES (The horror). I actually kind of miss those gauges.
But even stepping down my Q8 E-Tron to a 2022 XC60, its not that bad. Maybe cause my XC60 has all the bells and whistles it helped masked the old ness but I really like the styling on the SPA cars still. Maybe its because you don't see thousands and thousands of these cars like you see Teslas (socal). Too bad what I really wanted was a V60 T8 but good luck finding one of those that isn't a polestar.
P.s. I really love the Google maps and smart battery usage it brings.

The Android Auto system is actually quite good. Honestly, if it wasn't that some competitors are putting in bigger and bigger screens, the aging of the SPA cars wouldn't even be a conversation.
It's akin to when 45-50 inch TVs were the norm, now it's 65 or so that is the norm. Doesn't mean it's better but I understand how people want the fresh look.

My younger sister has a lowly Chevy Bolt, and honestly it's cabin tech is superior to my 22.5 Recharge. Its got a way larger screen and a much more usable interface with GASP wireless AA and Carplay. The XC60 may have a beautiful cabin but a 9 inch screen is obsolete and its missing a lot of features that are present in much less expensive vehicles.
I agree that the XC60 still has great styling. However, if I was shopping today, the XC60 would not be on my list. I'd want a vehicle that is more current with more state-of-the-art technology and features.
The only aspect of the XC60 that I find truly "timeless" is seat comfort. Nothing approaches it in that regard.

I'm a fan of the Android Auto system myself and think it is a vast improvement over SENSUS. However, it's a middle of the road system. I just came back from the big Island, and we rented a Chrysler Minivan in Kona to drive to Hilo. Within less than two minutes, I had Android Auto on the screen. The entire interface of the system was in different century than Volvo's system, so much cleaner and more intuitive than Volvo.

The one thing that the North Americans have always done well is media systems, even way back in the day. The Stellantis U-Connect system is really good, in my opinion the most redeeming feature of any of the Chrysler/Jeep/Ram product. Otherwise not so much.
GM tends to be pretty good at this. They had the one miscue with the Cadillac CUE system back in the day (see the pun?) but overall it's a strong point for GM product.
I always give credit where it's due. I sell Volvos but my head isn't in the sand.

The vehicles are different in that market though. What's done in Sweden has nothing to do with North America - in the US or Canadian site, they wouldn't switch over to 2025 until they are actively being sold. So not until September or so up here, in the US it could be different because your cars come from Sweden. But the spec in Canada versus US is the same. Totally not the case with European markets, Sweden in particular.
What is the difference between Volvo in the EU and Volvo in the US
Same engines, same AA OS system, same interior, same bodywork, same gearboxes.......everything the same except the exhaust gas standard
The only thing is that in the EU you can make more options and configurations than in the US market

It's actually not even the same engines. But also the trim options and stuff like this differs by market. They call them the same thing but they really aren't.
All manufacturers are like that actually.
98% it is the same car
Of course, except for the price, which is much more favorable in the US, and because cars on the US market have more equipment in the standard model
On the EU market, you may have a few more options, but everything is much more expensive

It's partly because they have to build in certain taxes that have to do with environment etc. But they would have different powertrains, still Drive-E but different variations. And yes, what is standard here is not in every market.
