I guess there aren't any available then?

I have looked in the accessories web site and nothing there.

I did a search and noticed a previous post asking for covers for his/her XC90, and a reply stated that due to the air bag arrangement on that model, seat covers aren't recommended.
Does anyone think this could apply on the XC60 too?

Didn't say why, just mentioned the air bags.
Are the curtain bags in the seat perhaps?

But why do you want to put covers over those lovely seats?

Yes, the IC airbag is built into the seat.

Why don't you just get someone who can sow and make a cover than just rests on the seat surface. It could be made so as to go over the headrest as an anchor point?

I am not sure you would call these "Nice", but they are seat covers that fit the XC60 with air bags.
