Here's Why The Volvo V60 Cross Country Is The Perfect Volvo You Can Buy Today

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Volvo V60 Cross Country is Volvo's attempt to rekindle Americans' love for wagons. Only available in T5 trim with AWD, the Cross Country might just be the perfect Jack-of-all-trades Volvo that you can buy today. It still has sedan like road manners, with the extra ground clearance necessary for unimproved road duties. Come see what I like and dislike about this $58,000 wagon in this episode of Before You Buy

    A budget alternative to the new V60CC is a P3 XC70 (2008-2016), which has all similar dimensions and is also equipped with many bells and whistles.

    I have just passed my 1-year mark on mine. I love it. I was just commenting today on the things that you never knew you needed until you have them. Heated (and cooled) seats, heated steering wheel, massage seats are all pretty divine. The HUD that's integrated with the navi. Just amazing.

    HUD sounds interesting. I like the separate navigation screen on my current XC70, not sure about (a) the location of the screen lower down (b) combining other functions on the screen. I know there are some buttons, but most routine functions should be one click at barely a glance. I mostly drive on fast windy roads, or in traffic, it's not safe to fiddle with these multifunction screens. Also being tall, when I sit in an V60/V90 the screen is at the limit of my extended arm, added difficulty in using a touch screen. I wish these cabins had no shiny/silver surfaces, there is simply too much bling going on. I guess they are trying to sell into a variety of markets.

    I know this is late but at the time of this video, volvo hadnt done the software update to add in inductive smart phone charging for iPhone12+. Also, in regards to the navigation map being blocked off by the seat adjustment, you can add your nav to the driver display so it show in two places. It'll be located between your tachometer and your speedometer

    Im not familiar with Volvo but interested in wagon for makeshift camping conversion to sleep on roadtrips. Confused in diff V90 vs V60 and XC 90 and XC 60? For cargo space in back, what is length, width, and height with 2nd row seats down? One thing Id definitely prefer is higher cargo space- looks like average sized person would bump their heads if using as bed, or if as hauling things like just couple stacked boxes it would block back window since not very high.. I dont need 3rd row for passengers but if its more room for cargo then yes. Trying to decide if want XC 60 bc cargo area looks higher and better visibility? Is there a longer V90 version that's not as " squatty" in cargo area? I also thought I saw in one review one model had a little built in " trunk" under the third row, very handy as really miss having trunk when choosing wagon/suv over sedan.

Drivetrains for all volvos are made mainly in Poland in GKN so when they have problem with supplies of anything, production of volvo cars stop. There are also thousands supply chains broken due to china zero covid policy. You cannot imagine how difficult is to manage that these days.

My S60 doesn’t stop going at a pathetic 180Km/h limit, it will go up to 250Km/h 5. Fiscal buttons and controls 6. Pop pop UP AND DOWN....navigation uint 7. A real hand brake 8. A traction control system which is able to be turned off 9. It didn’t cost an arm and leg 10. The analog gauge cluster, which won’t age as badly as a screen. 11.

The newer Diesel are still more fuel efficient in general, but on the other hand depreciation, which also is a thing to consider really hurts newer cars. Loan payments are also a cost to consider with newer car, since pretty much no Swed can afford to buy a newer car with out a bank loan. Then there is the insurance cost is probably higher for the newer car which is worth more.

    I have the V60 Cross Country, and yes, the interior is smaller than any similar sized competition. HOWEVER, this is because of safety and the occupants capsule which is way safer than anything similar, exactly because it's shaped around safety. Let me tell you this as well: getting in and out of the back seat is terrible, because the B-pillar is also fat, and not only that, has triangles of steel in the corners for extra safety. Exactly why I bought it, for safety, for my family and to have no worries about what happens in case of an accident. The driver assistants are great as well for that purpose. If that's what interests you, there is no competition. The only brand that promises to reach for 0 dead in the immediate future
