Released in October 2013, the Volvo Mk.2 Phase II (Mk.2-II) V60 introduced a revised range as the D3 variant was replaced by the D4, and the D5 and T4 were discontinued. The Volvo Mk.2-II V60 could be identified by its new headlights, wider grille, daytime running lights, larger iron-mark badge, Tech Matte black ‘front wing’ and integrated tailpipes (except for D4 variants); the radar cover was also painted gloss black radar so that it was no longer visible within the grille. Inside, the Mk.2-II V60 received Volvo’s Adaptive Digital Display, new sports seats, illuminated gearshift knob, white instrument back-lighting and chromed dials. The Adaptive Digital Display used an active TFT (Thin Film Transistor) panel to provide the driver with personalised information and had three selectable themes: Elegance, Eco and Performance.
