New Volvo V60 Cross Country Review // Putting the Sport in SUV
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Volvo V60 Cross Country is the new station wagon from Volvo that has a bit more attitude and ground clearance than the base V60. The ride height has been increased by 2.6-inches or 66mm, to provide better snow or light off-roading capabilities. A big part of the appeal is the more rugged design thanks to extra lower body cladding and unique front and rear bumpers. The only engine is the T5 turbo 4-cylinder with 250hp, the T6 is not offered with the Volvo V60 Cross Country, however standard AWD is included, where it is optional with the base V60. The interior is the same and can be equipped with a cloth or leather interior. The dash can also be ordered with a digital instrument cluster. The Volvo V60 Cross Country is not the performance car in this class but is a great all around combination of good driving feel, luxury and comfort.

I would love to see this market grow. I’m glad to see that Volvo has not given up on the beloved station wagons ...with the exception of its larger Flagship, the V90. I wish that they would continue that model, if even at a loss. Thanks for the video,... impressive video angles.

continue at a loss volvo make record profits year after year currently. so mutch so that all volvo emplyies just got a 1000 euro bonus in may! the station vagons are selling like buttre here in the nordic countries and in europe. just retareded americans who want big suvs.
Love me a nice station wagon too, Zack. I'm a fan of the Buick Regal wagon too. A friend owned a white 70s Volvo wagon with a blue cloth interior. Lots of good memories. ⛽
Best review so far for Volvo V60 CC ... I tested both Audi Q5 and this one. Bought the Volvo swayed by your opinionhonest and staright forward. Thanks you were of great help.

Thank you for not bashing Volvo for not being sporty!
You hit the nail on the head regarding the TRUE practicality of a wagon vs. a CUV (SUV). But then again, I have a 2018 Alltrack. Although, if I had to do it over again, I would highly consider this Volvo.

@@Arcticarc1 I agree about how bad Volvo's Sensus infotainment system is... But Volvo is installing a new Google OS for MY 2020, so I'm going to check back on the V60 Cross Country for MY 2020 or 2021; I won't buy it before then because of the horrible Sensus they have in all the Volvos now. Sensus just kills these cars, in my opinion -- along with doing away with buttons/knobs for easy climate control and audio control that isn't dangerously distracting to the driver.

I have a 2020 V60 Cross Country, and I can tell I can tell you that the Sensus infotainment system is super easy. A lot of stuff you don’t even have to scroll through the system. You can just ask the car or ask your phone. Very intuitive it won’t even take you an hour to figure everything out and then as you drive, the system becomes an easy second nature. I love how it has slightly raised height but drives like a luxury sports car. I just traded in my Audi A5 convertible for this baby, and I’m not looking back!!
Just ordered my V90 CC today. There was no V60 available for testing so I moved to V90. But the overall feeling of this V60 CC is quite close to the V90 CC according to the sales man. Thank you for the review
the best review on this model. thanks!
Nice review,stunning beautiful car !
It looks stunning ! I adore this Volvo .
Nice score getting your hands on one of these outside the press event! Your video answers one question- that the Blond upholstery option in the CC is just the seats and door inserts, unlike in the standard V60. If you still have access to the vehicle, can you tell us if they're adding extra skid plating (aluminum) underneath to this model?
Great car and great review. Thanks for sharing :)
Your jacket looks perfect. 👍🏽
Beautiful and full of personality car ! I just love it . The power of the engine it’s more than enough but ,a T 6 as a alternative it would be a nice option !
Simple, yet beautiful. None of the awkward front end designs from Toyota and Lexus, for instance.

Sorry the northerners do not get the Buick Regal TourX 2.0T with torque vectoring AWD. Our 2018 Preferred is a nice ride in the low US$20's in the states. The 295 lb-fr of torque is plenty with 316 lb-ft of torque on overboost. The 30 mpg in mixed driving and almost 40 mpg is owing on the cake!
Really like the stock 'stance' on these, American cars could learn a thing or two

Frozen Car Guy I think that is BS. Car buyers are like sheep, going for what is popular rather than what is smart. The wagon will always be there, possibly with minor changes and a bit of advertising to sell the sheep.
I can't help but feel that this car is too expensive for what it is. I understand that options are limited in the NA market for wagons, but I can't equate Volvo to being on the same level as Mercedes and BMW, and still behind Audi too. This thing is going to be well over $50K if you add anything to it, and that' just not worth it.

I agree with J.T. also. Volvo is better quality and practicality and reliability for your money. I don't get that Mercedes and Audi and BMW have a better "reputation", because it's not deserved; I'd never consider any of those vehicles (and I've owned Porsches). The 2020 V60 Cross Country will start around USD $45k MSRP, and with dealer discounts, you can probably get it for less than $45k in the US even with some options.
