Volvo recently announced that its XC60 hybrid car has broken records as the company’s best-selling car of all time, with more than 2.7 million cars sold. The XC60 also overtook the Volvo 240, which previously held the record as the best-selling model from the veteran auto manufacturer.

Originally launched way back in 2018, Volvo says that the XC60 proved to be popular among customers thanks to safety features in addition to a “premium driving experience”. The car was first manufactured in Europe, although Volvo later on expanded production to China; the XC60 also earned the “World Car of the Year” award in 2018.

Since its debut in 2008, Volvo Cars’ mid-size SUV has remained a favourite among customers, appealing to a wide range of drivers who value safety, quality and a premium driving experience. Initially built exclusively in Europe, the XC60 later became the first global Volvo model to also be produced in China, supporting local sales. In 2018, it was named World Car of the Year.

Volvo adds that it was the best-selling plug-in hybrid in Europe last year. Susanne Hägglund, head of Global Offer at Volvo comments:

Growing up in Sweden in the 1980s, the Volvo 240 was the iconic family car – you could spot one in almost every driveway… Today the XC60 has taken over that position in two ways. Not only as the family favourite, but also becoming our all-time top-seller, which in itself is the ultimate proof point of a successful car. And now, with the latest updates, it gets even better.
