Volvo XC60 Facelift Hits Indian Market at ₹71.90 Lakh

/

Volvo Car India has launched the updated Volvo XC60 in the country at an introductory ex-showroom price of ₹71.90 lakh. The facelift brings subtle revisions, but major upgrades lie largely in the technology offerings. The SUV remains powered by the same, somewhat dated petrol-hybrid powertrain, which still performs effectively under most driving conditions. On the outside, the XC60 retains its signature profile but gets a refreshed front grille with diagonal slats and a reworked front bumper, sporting new dual-tone 19-inch alloy wheels. A fresh exterior shade dubbed “Forest Lake” now features among the available colour options alongside the existing palette. The cabin receives a major tech facelift, featuring an 11.2-inch freestanding touchscreen infotainment system powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon platform. Premium Nappa leather seats with massage function occupy the front row, while a Bowers & Wilkins sound system resonates inside a cabin that also includes a panoramic sunroof. The updated XC60 is loaded with safety features, including seven airbags and Level 2 ADAS with adaptive cruise control, Pilot Assist, and blind spot monitoring. No changes exist under the hood. The SUV continues with the 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system, producing 250 bhp and 360 Nm of torque. Power is distributed to all four wheels via an 8-speed torque converter automatic transmission. The facelifted XC60 now costs ₹1.15 lakh more than its predecessor, offered in a single, fully-loaded Ultra variant at a rather hefty price. It rivals other swanky midsize SUVs such as the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC and Audi Q5.

A 77kWh ultra-thin battery pack—remarkably just 110mm thick—lies beneath the sleek exterior, and it’s the slimmest in the industry. Optimal weight distribution and thermal performance are maintained whilst offering a 580km MIDC-certified range effectively. Fine-tuning of the car’s suspension and handling was done with input from ex-Formula 1 engineer Marco Fainello, featuring a double wishbone setup and nearly 50:50 weight distribution.

Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Coupé Set to Roar into India on August 12

/

Mercedes-Benz will bolster its high-performance lineup in India soon with the debut of the Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Coupé on August 12, 2025. The CLE 53 Coupé made its global debut quite recently in December 2023 and now stands as the spiritual successor of the C-Class and E-Class coupés, somehow consolidating Mercedes’ two-door models into a single luxury grand tourer. Mercedes-Benz India plans eight fresh model introductions by 2025, and this launch constitutes a significant part of those new releases. The CLE 53 Coupé boasts sleek yet ferociously aggressive styling, utterly redolent of AMG’s hallowed performance pedigree. The CLE 53’s aerodynamic design features include sculpted bumpers and functional fender vents, paired with a performance-inspired rear diffuser and quad exhaust tips integrated beneath the signature Panamericana grille. The sporty look gets further amplified by LED headlights sporting distinctive DRLs and two-piece LED taillamps wrapped in piano black trim. With its steeply raked windshield and streamlined roofline, the coupé presents a sleeker profile than the CLE Cabriolet already available in the Indian market. It rides on standard 19-inch AMG alloy wheels, and 20-inch options are available as well. The CLE 53 boasts an AMG-tuned 3.0-litre inline-six twin-turbocharged engine (M256) under the hood, supported fairly extensively by a 48V mild-hybrid system. Delivering 446 bhp and 560 Nm of torque, this powertrain has an overboost function kicking in an extra 40 Nm for 12 seconds, thereby taking total torque up to 600 Nm. Power delivery is boosted by an integrated starter generator, which provides an extra 22.6 bhp and 205 Nm. The resulting 0–100 kmph sprint time clocks in at 4.2 seconds, with an electronically limited top speed of 250 kmph. The engine pairs with a 9-speed AMG Speedshift automatic transmission and the 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system, while AMG Dynamic Select offers various drive modes like Slippery, Comfort, Sport, and Individual, with paddle-shift use in manual “M” mode. Inside, the CLE 53 Coupé combines the modern, tech-rich layout of the C-Class with premium AMG-specific upgrades for a more opulent and performance-focused cabin. A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster sits alongside an 11.9-inch MBUX infotainment screen positioned rather unusually in portrait orientation. AMG Performance seats and a flat-bottom steering wheel are outfitted inside, alongside wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Burmester sound system with 64-color ambient lighting and wireless charging available. Over-the-air software updates and AMG-themed visuals round out an immersive driving environment, with sport-focused controls and carbon-fiber-style trims inside. Carrying a premium price tag of over ₹1.5 crore (ex-showroom), the CLE 53 Coupé becomes the first AMG variant in the CLE series for India, complementing the CLE 300 Cabriolet. It will slug it out with the BMW M2 and Audi RS5 Sportback in the luxury performance segment, directly alongside other high-octane rivals. Arriving almost a year later than the cabriolet version, Mercedes-Benz India’s CLE 53 Coupé refreshes its performance offerings under a pretty robust product roadmap.
