Is there a facelift foreseen this year?
In the automotive sector there is usually a facelift foreseen every 4 years. Most manufacturers bring out a new model, leave it on the market for about 4 years, and then bring it up to date. The life of a model then continues for another 3-4 years. And then a new model is launched again. Volvo is always very discreet when it comes to facelift (you can take the series 90 as an example where only slight adjustments appear).
Regarding the XC60. In 2021 the facelift will be super light. Customers who buy in 2021 can therefore be reassured about the aesthetics!
Is there any top speed limit integrated in Volvo cars?
Volvo limits its cars to top speed of 180 km/h. Volvo is also actively investigating how a combination of smart speed control and geofencing technology could automatically make cars stick to the speed limit around schools and hospitals.
