My 2021 V60 Cross Country was my 4th Volvo in a row. My last was a 2013 XC60 T6 R-Design. Maybe that T6 motor just spoiled me, but V60 4 banger in a 4K pound+ car just didn't have neaerly enough oomph. Starting off of stops, where the engine turns off by default, then waiting for the turbo to kick in, followed by an almost immediate shift - it was just anemic. Maybe I would have been OK … with it if it got 33mpg, but with the 21.3mpg average I got, it just felt too inefficient to be paying as much as I did. My XC60 got 19.5mpg, but in the entire time I owned it I don't think I ever floored it or felt the need to. The shame is that everything else about the car was awesome. Mine was denim blue with 19" wheels and the camel leather interior, and it felt luxurious and looked beautiful. The seats, true to Volvo's reputation, were unmatched in terms of comfort. People have complained about the infotainment, but other than the apple car play display being rather small, I was fine with it. So as you might have guessed by now I ended up selling it. I would have loved to have gotten the V60 Hybrid, which has much better acceleration and mileage, but the 73K base price tag is ridiculous. I finally went with a Mach-E. I got the single motor, which is still tons more performance than the V60's and is all I feel I need. I miss the Scandinavian design, but am very happy with my choice.
