New Volvo V60 Cross Country Review // Putting the Sport in SUV

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.

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.

Thank you for not bashing Volvo for not being sporty!

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.

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. ⛽

Really like the stock 'stance' on these, American cars could learn a thing or two

Simple, yet beautiful. None of the awkward front end designs from Toyota and Lexus, for instance.

the best review on this model. thanks!

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

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!

Hi Zak, I saw you this morning in the plane to Edmonton today:)

Terrific review as always, Zack. Long time follower from New Brunswick. Considering the 2023 V60 CC. Any thoughts on the new mild-hybrid motor set up vs this from 2020? Thank you

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?

You say (at 8:00) that Volvo is getting rid of the V90 and V90 Cross Country for MY2020. I've not heard that. What is your source?

[luigidinardo]

Great car and great review. Thanks for sharing :)

[King_Kenny]

Such a good-looking car, almost like it more than the sedan.

[costisordorin]

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 !

[JakeDrives]

Zack, I absolutely love the Volvo. However, I was heartbroken all over again when you reminded me that we don't get the C43 wagon in the states!

Thank you for your review and time you put in this video 📹
