Its official Volvo XC60 has overtaken the legendary 240 to become the most popular Volvo ever built. With more than 2.7 million units sold since its debut in 2008, the XC60 is writing a new chapter in Volvo ´ s success story-and doing it faster than anyone expected.
XC60 Becomes Volvo´s Best- Selling Car of all time
June 30, 2025
Bye-Bye, 240-Hello, modern classic
The original Volvo 240 may have been built like a tank and loved for decades, but the XC60 has outpaced it in record time. It hit that 2.7 million milestone in just 15 years, compared to the 240´s 19-year run from 1974 to 1993. That works out to over 435 XC60s sold every single day since launch. One big reason? The XC60 went global in 2014, becoming the first Volvo sold across markets worldwide- including a huge welcome from drivers in China.
Volvo is not resting on its best-seller status, either. The XC60 recently got a stylish interior update with new 11.2 inch infotainment screen and sleeker upholstery options, giving it an even more modern feel while keeping things unmistakably Volvo-clean, calm, and clever.
Under the hood, the entry-level B5 mild-hybrid is no slouch. It's got a 2.0 litre turbocharged engine paired with a 48V battery, giving you 247 horsepower and a 0-100km/h time of 6.9 seconds. It's quick, it's efficient, and drives like a dream-especially with that classic Volvo comfort.
