Now this is my dream car...beautiful, practical, comfortable, safe...it's the whole package.

Love that city weave insert.

So I actually own the bigger brother v90 and It's a great car (11k over the last 9 months and have had zero issues). The seats are very/extremely comfortable , quality is top notch , excellent in rough weather conditions , and the dog gate really helps for when we take road trips. It's seems like almost everything that makes the big brother great has carried over to the little one which is a 10/10 in my book (Love my v90). I'd take this over a regal tourx even though it's smaller (It's just overall a nicer vehicle).

Like many "enthusiasts" I love wagons. We usually don't buy 'em but we love 'em. In my case I've owned a couple of Volvo wagons and a Saab wagon in the past. Loved them all. Our neighbor has a V90 wagon (not the XC) and she loves that one, too. To me, though, it's something of a beast; the V60 is more my style and size. Unfortunately, my wife suffers from crossover fever. She loves the "command" (i.e up high) driving position of our Sorento and can't be persuaded to go back to a "normal" driving position. I'm convinced, by the way, that women like my wife are a major force in crossover mania. They don't want the stigma of driving a minivan. They do want the practicality of a wagon but being surrounded by SUV's and crossovers, and gigantic pickups in traffic, they don't want to be at a disadvantage height-wise. Oh, well. It's her daily driver; she gets to choose. So good luck to Volvo for keeping alive the concept of an "estate" vehicle in the US. I doubt they'll turn the tide but bully for them.

Alex, thanks for your great car reviews. They cover everything about a car. I love cars and I’m curious about many I’ll never get a chance to drive. I do have a request though. On your next Volvo review I would love to see you drive one with the Polestar option. I’m not referring to the polestar engineered S60 but, maybe an XC90 T6 with the Polestar option. THANKS.

I'm hardcore Volvo Fan and I adore the new models V60 and V90 (and mainly XC version) are the most beautiful cars in the world. I now drive V70 II, I had 240, 740 and 850 and I'm glad that (skipping the FoMoCo offsprings) I will have something to buy in the future.

I really dunno why Americans don't like wagons. Hatchbacks/Wagons have much better practicality than sedans, while they still have similar handling. Believe me, when you buy something from IKEA, a 65" TV, or items with large tall boxes, you will definitely want a wagon not a sedan with limited height and limited open space.

I wish there were many more wagons. A wagon version of the Honda Clarity for example, would be amazing!

A little bit similar to my TSX Wagon, which is a great car!

WAGONZ FOR PREZ!

I WANT!!!!

Does the wagon have to be special ordered like the V90? Are is it readily available at dealers?

Great review Alex. Do you think sedans will ever come back? I like the visibility of crossovers, but recently taking an 1800 mile road trip in a large sedan, I still think theres a lot to be said about the ride and handling of a bigger 4 door sedan. Thank you.

I hope to own one of these one day. Any plan on a polestar version again?

the rims make it look good

Alex, great review. In your opinion, what is the best used Volvo wagon in teens of reliability, practicality, and aesthetics? Thanks

Great review of a great estate. Why hasn't Volvo announced pricing or a launch date?

I think I just found my next car!

My dream wagon is the e63s amg. But in reality I'll probably get the v90 polestar and get it tuned.

I am loving this Volvo. I am curious how this will stack up against the new G21 3 series wagon (If they release it in the US) One of those two will be next car

Im still waiting to preorder the wagon i configured. I havent seen the option yet, guess ill find out when the price drops on the website.

I WANT ONE

Mark my words, I WILL buy one of these or the Cross Country. In a few years.

So how many different models did you drive in this review? I'm guessing one of them was not the V60 XC however... Do you think that'll be a 2021 Model?

Curious if they’d make a v40? Closest we’ll get to a modern c30. Can’t wait for the cross country...

According to several forums (bimmerfest, bimmerpost, etc.) the G20 (next gen 3 series) will NOT make it in wagon guise to the US market. Which is a crying shame because it's a damned great looking, and highly practical vehicle. BMWNA has wielded the profit knife pretty hard for this generation - no manuals, no touring and all NA bound vehicles will be hecho en Mexico at the new plant when it comes online April 2019. Which probably also kills Euro Delivery options as well.

This is true of lots of car brands' wagons that are only sold overseas -- not bringing their wagons to America. It is a shame. It's actually surprising that Porsche brought its Sport Turismo to the USA this year. But wagons tend to look better, in my opinion, than most sedans. As for BMW, don't they have automatic transmissions with manual option built in, with or without paddle shifters? Even Porsches don't have manual-only transmissions any more, and they are really fun to drive in manual mode with the paddle shifters on the steering wheel.

Station wagons have become such a weird thing. Wagons used to be budget family haulers until the minivan arrived. Then they became a luxury staple. Mercedes E class Wagon, Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo, Ferrari FF/GTC4Lusso, and the Volvo V60 and V90. Those are the wagon options and they’re all luxury wagons. Also I wouldn’t be surprised to see a BMW 5 series touring. Why are wagons now luxury cars?

Because no one in North America wants any of the wagons offered by Honda, Toyota, Nissan available in the Asian and European markets.

I don't think that wagons were all that much budget cars. We grew up with wagons as a kid (1960s, 1970s) because we had a big family, and those wagons cost more than sedans did at the time (Buicks, Oldsmobiles, etc.). When my wife and I started our family in the 1980s, we got a Volvo wagon because we wanted the safety and practicality (and so justified a few thousand more dollars than getting a Chevy wagon at the time). We liked the Volvo wagons so much as a practical car that we just kept buying more over the decades, and still have a Volvo wagon. Personally, I'm not so keen on all the added luxury, but they have continued to make safe and practical wagons, while other manufacturers of less-expensive cars have bailed out on wagons. Luxury wagons do sell, at least in affluent areas of America; we continue to get them not because they are luxurious but because they are well made and practical and safe. I'd rather spend much less, but the Subarus and Buick Regal and other cheaper cars don't perform as well. I'll spend an extra $10k-$15k today to get something I'd just rather be in, even if I'd rather not spend that money. For us, we spend so much time in cars that we won't scrimp on safety or comfort. It's indeed interesting that Ferrari makes a 2-door "wagon", but they start at $300k. Yes, Porsche just came out with a wagon this year in the Sport Turismo, but it starts around $100k. Both the GTC4Lusso and Sport Turismo are beautiful cars, and yes, it's interesting that these sports-car manufacturers are actually selling them. The plug-in hybrid versions of the Panamera (which include both the hatchback and the Sport Turismo models) have actually out-sold the Volvo plug-in hybrids so far in 2018, while costing 1.5-2 times more; that's mind-boggling to me. I see lots of BMW and Mercedes and Audi wagons here in the northeastern USA. Personally, I wish that Volvo and others would make decent wagons in the $30k-$40k range, but they opt not to; I'd gladly give up some of those luxury items (like high-end audio systems, when base systems are almost always plenty fine today; advanced infotainment systems; leather seats; heated rear seats; extra-large wheels; panoramic sunroofs; etc.) that come as standard to get the costs down.

Alex, I don't see any reviewers talk about that silver-colored drive-mode roller button in the center console, in any critical manner. I think that it looks ridiculous, it handles horribly for a driver (not in a good location to reach and not easy to dial and push to get to another mode), and the drive-mode controls should only be on the steering wheel (as in other car brands). What do you think? This is one of several things that made me choose another car brand this past year after seriously looking at the new Volvo 90 series (XC90, S90, V90) as well as the XC60; the interiors of these cars simply look overly feminine and simultaneously less practical. And there's also the matter of the problems with the Sensus infotainment system, which is a serious safety issue in terms of putting too much to distract the driver in only the computer screen (climate controls in particular).

So yeah,when ya gonna modify that title? I keep reading it as a "street worker" instead of what it actually means....

And lots of Volvo enthusiasts buying these new supercharged/turbocharged 60- and 90-series vehicles are leasing them exactly because they are worried how long they'll last, compared to Volvos of yesteryear. New infotainment systems (including especially the current Volvo one) in cars are also going to be very dated in appearance and usefulness in a very short years, making it less likely that lots of these new Volvos will be kept for hundreds of thousands of miles.
