In routine suburban commuting, the Cross Country is likely to average close to 25 MPG overall. Like most, save the Outback, premium-grade fuel is required. With EPA ratings of 22 MPG city and 31 MPG highway, the V60 Cross Country compares favorably to its direct wagon-based competitors and exceeds most of the ratings of more conventional crossover competitors. The engine isn't as smooth as some other offerings in the class (Audi A4), but works well with the slick-shifting automatic and cruises silently. That's par for the course in the class, but certainly isn't going to put the Cross Country at the top of enthusiasts' shopping lists. Most peg the 0 to 60 MPH time at about 8 seconds. The engine is competent and provides adequate, if somewhat uninspired acceleration. In offering just a single powertrain combination, Volvo is fairly confident it knows its buyers. This service combines vehicle, insurance and maintenance into a single payment, starting at $750 per month. The V60 Cross Country is offered in the Care by Volvo subscription service. Three stackable packages are offered: Luxury, Advanced and Cross Country. It includes 18-inch wheels, leather upholstery and lane-keeping assist.

The $45,745 Adventure is the sole trim offering in the V60 Cross Country lineup.

The all-wheel drive system does not have a low range, but does provide several driver-selectable off-road modes. (In Volvo-speak, this engine is dubbed T5.) It mates to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Sole engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder that makes 250 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel-drive is standard on the V60 Cross Country, as are hill descent control, electronic stability control, traction control and a special off-road driving mode. Utilizing the same chassis and engine as the Volvo XC60 crossover, V60 Cross Country competitors include the complete compact luxury crossover set, and, more partially, the Audi A4 allroad, Buick Regal TourX and Subaru Outback.Ĭhanges that transform the V60 into a Cross Country include exterior cladding, 1.2 inch increase in wheel track and suspension lift that provides a maximum of 8.3 inches of ground clearance - nearly 3 more than a V60. It's basically a Volvo S60 wagon (hence the V60 moniker) with a lift kit and slightly wider stance. Returning after a 1-year hiatus, is the Volvo V60 Cross Country.
