As was the case with Volvo's subtly refreshed 2014 S80 sedan, the facelifted XC60 crossover has also been scooped without any camouflage in China, which, coincidentally or not, happens to be the home of the Swedish brand's owner, Geely.
Although there's always the possibility that the cosmetic changes seen on the XC60 may be for China only, we expect the facelifted crossover to be offered globally.
Most updates take place up front where Volvo's designers removed the inner lights between the headlamps and the grille, which has grown in size and now sits on the front of a redesigned and more pronounced hood. The headlamps themselves are also new as is the bumper.
The revamped exterior mirrors with longer turning signals, the addition of a chrome strip on the tailgate and the re-sculptured rear bumper with new exhaust tailpipes complete the exterior revisions.
Photos of the interior reveal that Volvo has re-done the XC60's instrument panel that adopts a new layout with a central speedometer, similar in styling to that of the new V40 compact hatchback.
Look for the 2014 model XC60 at a major international auto show next year.

The original design looks better ... :\
I really agree with you.
I agree. Original does look better
omg why? :( it looks pretty cheap.
and i hate the new gauges....now the only real volvo is v70/xc70.
I have to say, this looks alright to me. I actually like everything, except the front bumper. I think that looks really bad. The rest looks more upscale. I really like the front fog lights. I wonder what bi-xenon and LED headlights look like
actually, the front is too much nissan rogue, so the front isn't so great
Volvo and the new Mercedes e-class front lights are now identical...dont like them. they are do soft in their design, and makes the car look cheaper.
did it cut itself shaving?
