Over the past few months, we spied a number of current Volvo models with minor cosmetic updates, ranging from the XC60 crossover to the S80 sedan. Now it's time for the Swedish carmaker to release all of them at once.
These include the S60 sedan, V60 station wagon, XC60 crossover, V70 station wagon, XC70 crossover and the S80 saloon. In other words, the only models in Volvo's range that remain untouched are the newly launched V40 compact hatchback and the soon-to-be replaced XC90.
All of the aforementioned, facelifted models feature new front grilles, headlamps, hood designs, bumpers, tail lamp clusters and rear-end trims. There are no press images of the interiors yet, but previous scoop photos reveal that Volvo has also redesigned the instrument panels.
While we don't have full details in our hands yet, Sweden's Teknikens Varld is reporting that aside from the cosmetic makeover inside and out, Volvo has made changes to the engine lineup of all vehicles with greener and more fuel efficient powerplants, as well as to the equipment grades.

XC70 tailights are really ugly....
And the new front looks so dull.
cant believe volvo done this, the current models looks much better than the facelift models
S60 looks awful.
And they're back to boring styling
How to destroy a brand. I think this is the most ridiculous refresh in automobile history.
Its not a face-lift, its a week long stay at krispy-kreme!
to those that dislike the XC70 refresh - look at pictures of the current model and the new side by side and you will see that the new refresh does look better. Now for me the other models look simply pathetic - that new S60/V70 grill makes the car 'cheap' looking and no more special. The XC70 is the better refresh of the bunch IMO. I can live with that grill.
i like them actually. call me crazy
Ugly. The current models are way better!
they are ruining their portfolio "pretty well"... i am very sad :(
I love that new Volvo badge. The rest is bs though
Absolutely terrible. The back ends are not too bad but they have ruined the front. Especially with the recessed lights that make the cars look sad and tired. What business / financial benefit can possibly come to Volvo from utterly ruining the S60 like that?
