This is BEAUTIFUL

I hope they bring the S60XC back as well. I always liked that and the Outback SUS.

You can get those better seats in the luxury package. Gets you the ventilation, adjustable side bolsters and massaging. I’m pretty sure they’re exactly the same seats as in the XC60. They certainly looked and felt the same in the dealer’s lot.

I think I’d be happy in either the V60 Cross Country or the A4 Allroad. But I think I’d agree with you. Given the choice of these two and the V90 Cross Country, I’d easily choose the V90. More than the reasons you described, it also looks best, with the best proportions.

Great Review!

In the Uk the Volvo is a 3 year warranty, the outback is 5 years. After owning 3 volvos, currently owning an A4 and having had the XC90 hybrid on hire, I have just bought an Outback.

One reason I bought my 2017 A4 allroad over the V60 Cross Country, was because of the ride. My A4 allroad came standard with true adaptive dampers, so you can tailor the ride to your comfort. When I test drove the Volvo V60 CC it was too firm a ride for me. I loved the look of the Volvo, but I wish it was a little more supple on rough pavement. I now have over 30K miles on the allroad and, so far, I haven't had any issues with it.

IMO auto manufacturers have forgotten how, or don't care how, to make a comfortable ride anymore. Read Consumer Reports and it feels like at least 75% of the reviews say the same thing: "...but the ride can be harsh over bumps". My old Acura TL had a near-perfect balance of sporty ride and smooth suspension. Then a few years ago I bought a Honda Accord and it practically rattled the teeth out of my head, all in the name of "handling". It used to be, you could get both.

I’m a wagon fan and also part of that target demographic (frequent driving in snow, up and through mountains in the Sierra Nevada, but most time spent on city streets). I got the 2017 Audi Allroad and it’s perfect for me. At the time, the V60 Cross Country was not yet available and I was comparing the Audi and the V90, but the Audi won out thanks to its in-cabin tech and price. Funny enough, it’ll be time to start looking again in a few months (I lease) and I’m weighing either a 2020 Allroad, or jumping ship to Subaru and an Outback XT. While the driving experience will never quite be the same, the new Outbacks have some pretty nice standard features when specced out, while still being a great deal cheaper than the Allroad. Ultimately I’ll see what the new Allroad offers at which trim levels and prices but ya seem to get much more bang for your buck on the newer Outbacks vs. the pre-2020 ones.

I must say the infotainment system is fast, acurate and very intuitive. I dare say it is the most up to date infotainment system available and certainly in that price range. And really: considering a crosscountry when only driving a mile on gravel is just a totally exaturated scenario. The volvo cross country is purely a cosmetical option. When in need of offroad capabilities the Subaru totally shreds this puppy.

What is the tire size?

Nice review, nice scenery. A vehicle that is designed and capable of off-road travel on gravel, dirt, lumpy, snowy conditions should not use low profile tires.Volvo has engineered an excellent vehicle and then seriously degrades its purpose by using the wrong wheels and tires. We have been in this silly "Big Wheels" phase too long. Once again style over function. I expect many buyers of the V60 CC will never drive it on bad roads, so I guess they will be happy with the wheels and tires. They might just as well get the regular V60. Good to see that Volvo continues to offer wagons. Wonder if the folks that can easily afford a Volvo will just follow the crowd and get the luxury SUV or CUV. It takes some courage and individualism to choose a wagon over the larger vehicles.

It looks good but the Outback 2.4t is more spacious & a better value buy for me Nice review

We're coming from an Outback and looking to step up to something nicer inside. Between the V60 and XC60 currently, basically the same price. Like the styling of the V (low roof line), but the better practically of the XC is hard to deny (plus it has some options you can't get on the V60 for whatever reason, like the T6/T8).

make it the V60 (ignore the cross country) and we have according to me the best looking family car on the market.

Wagon lover here. Over the years I've owned several Scandinavian versions (Saabs and Volvos) and I've loved them all. I'll admit, though, that in my experience they generally require more care and demonstrate more niggly little issues than Asian brands. No matter. Loved 'em anyway. To those unfamiliar with Volvos their models' nomenclature is confusing. My neighbor owns a V90 Cross Country which he repeatedly notes is not an XC90 but unless they're sitting next to one another, it may be difficult to distinguish them from one another. If I were to choose I'd lean toward the V60 Cross Country simply because I prefer a smaller vehicle even if it means giving up some interior space. Unfortunately, my wife's daily driver doubles as the family's trip vehicle and like many Americans (especially females) she finds the "command" seating position of an SUV appealing. As a result we gave up our last Saab wagon in 2012 for a KIA Sorento and re-upped with another Sorento last year. I compensate when I want to go canyon carving in the Cascade mountains with my GTI.

The Regal TourX 2.0T with torque vectoring AWD has been solid for the almost 2 years it has been sold in the U.S.

Speed isn't the biggest issue with the Sensus infotainment system -- it's the poor maps and the fact that too many important features are taken out of knobs. Even Volvo management has stated publicly that they know they can't do as good a job as Google can, and they are thus replacing Sensus OS with a new Google OS (and Google Maps default, which is way better) in 2020 (presumably for 2021 models, but I think Polestar 2 gets it also at the end of 2019). Car makers really need to go back to knobs for climate and audio. Volvo's current dashboard screen is poor also, and doesn't even offer the engine temperature. And the silly roller dial for drive modes should be put on the steering wheel. Too many practical faults here, but not faults that can't be changed.

I think the analogy of comparing BMW and Toyota Camry is off. One may try comparing a BMW and fully loaded Toyota Avalon. Similarly one could compare this volvo and the fully loaded Outback XT. No, they aren’t the same however one could argue that the “experience” is close enough if mostly you are driving 35mph to work in all weather conditions and the Outback is a great value. It boils down to image and what you feel like spending.

@@johnholst I thought I would throw in a trivia question since Alex was reviewing a Volvo in Canada.

V90 and V90 Cross Country got cut😭😭😭

Currently in the market and looking at both Outback and V60XC. I'm just not sure the Volvo is worth the price premium over the subaru.

Then save your self even more with Regal TourX 2.0T with torque vectoring AWD for low US$20's.

Why not Lexus RX for this price?

Because of his butthurt, I think I like the Outback.

It’s very misleading you called it an “off roader “. The whole structure of this car is still a wagon. Even with the AWD system and lifted suspension it can barely handle off-road situation.

u know that the term "Off road" just means it can drive off the tarmac, so a lawn is off road. It can probebly handel a lawn?

Alex, It was nice to have you in Canada. I hope you left all that funny purple, blue and brown money behind in Alberta because nobody wants that stuff in the States. Speaking of wagons, when will poor people get a choice of wagons again?

Last year of the VW Golf and Golf Alltrack...that’s the cheapest wagon on the market.

You don't have to be rich. Just buy a low mileage Volvo V60 T5 AWD like I did. You save all that depreciation for essentially the same car.

Everything is acceptable in the V60, but not that obnoxious gloss black plastic. Ughhhhh!!!!!!!!!

No V6... I don't understand why car companies put those I4 turbo tiny engine in a car that is expensive and luxury....

Lots of cost reasons but in essence in many places around the world taxation is based on engine size and as taxes can be quite heavy, it can become a decisive point between models.

iaskosam thank you for the explanation, but I personally will not pay for a 2.0 T engine car that cost this much money, V6 engine is a must for me
