Volvo V60 Cross Country T5 Wagon Exterior

Wagons are one of the most underrated vehicles in the U.S., which is unfortunate because Volvo makes a few really good ones, including the V60 Cross Country. The Cross Country variant of the V60 wagon isn't as performance-oriented as the standard V60, but it offers appreciable gains in both on-road comfort and off-road ability thanks to more ground clearance and standard all-wheel drive. If you're looking for a handsome, well-rounded and luxuriously appointed wagon, the V60 is a good place to start.

Overview

Station wagons are a rare breed in a landscape dominated by SUVs. How do you get people to buy your wagons when they want tall, off-road-capable and spacious family haulers? If you're Volvo, you offer them a crossover-ized wagon like the 2022 Volvo V60 Cross Country.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2022 Volvo V60 Cross Country T5 4dr Wagon AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.93 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

The V60 Cross Country is essentially the standard V60 wagon with a lifted suspension and plastic body cladding. It comes standard with all-wheel drive and a 250-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder. It probably won't conquer Moab or the Rubicon Trail, but it can handle the dirt road between your campsite and the highway just fine.

Volvo does the raised wagon thing pretty well, but it's not the only automaker using that formula. The V60 Cross Country's plastic-clad competitors include the Subaru Outback and Audi A4 Allroad, but it also competes with traditional luxury SUVs like the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC and its SUV cousin, the Volvo XC60. Find out how it stacks up by reading our test team's Expert Rating below.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the V60 Cross Country drive? Driving performance in the V60 Cross Country is entirely middle of the road. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine provides sufficient power for daily duty, it handles with confidence, and everything from the brakes to the eight-speed automatic transmission operates relatively smoothly. Nothing is going to impress you when you're behind the wheel, but you likely won't be disappointed either. Simply put, this is just an easy vehicle to tool around in.

On paper, its 7-second 0-60 mph acceleration time and panic-stopping distance of 122 feet are both slightly below average among wagons in the class. We think Volvo's midgrade twin-charged engine would really hit a sweet spot were it still offered.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the V60 Cross Country? If you value comfort over performance in your wagon, then the V60 Cross Country is the way to go. Front seat comfort is nothing short of amazing, with highly adjustable and supportive seat cushions, not to mention optional ventilation and massage functions. It also offers more supportive rear seats than competitors. Unlike the standard V60, the Cross Country's extra ride height and suspension travel afford a plush, SUV-like ride, but without the instability of a high center of gravity.

The interior is relatively quiet, though at highway speeds some faint wind noise can be heard around the windshield. When pushed hard, the engine can also emit some coarse sounds. The climate control operates effectively when set to a target temp, but controlling it requires multiple steps all run through the touchscreen. But it does have four zones, a rare luxury in this class.

Build & price

Interior

8.0/10

How’s the interior? The Cross Country's attractive interior is a model of simple yet elegant Scandinavian design, but there are some drawbacks in terms of operation. Some controls have unconventional icons, and many basic functions require you to use the touchscreen. The infotainment system takes some getting used to but eventually begins to make sense.

The V60 Cross Country provides plenty of room for all passengers and offers the driver a decent range of adjustments, though taller drivers may wish for a little more extension from the steering column. The Volvo's squared-off door openings and slightly elevated ride height make it that much easier to step in and out of. There's also excellent outward visibility, aided by remote-folding rear headrests and an available 360-degree camera, which makes parking a breeze.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? As infotainment screens have grown over the years, Volvo's 9-inch touchscreen has become a bit less striking. And with some controls buried under multiple menu layers, it's less intuitive than other systems. The absence of physical buttons and knobs means basic operations, like adjusting the climate control system, must be performed via the touchscreen. Volvo has added dual USB-C power ports for the back seat and a wireless phone charger up front. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration systems come standard, but they look small on Volvo's vertically oriented screen.

Volvo's reputation for safety is evident in the advanced safety features, but the forward collision warning and automatic braking have a tendency to be overly sensitive and alarming when they trigger unexpectedly. The Pilot Assist adaptive cruise control works pretty well and can even follow the lane markings as the road curves, but it sometimes rides the driver's side boundary a bit too closely.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? With the utility of an SUV and the handling and general size of a sedan, the V60 Cross Country offers the best of both worlds. The luggage area behind the rear seats is decently sized at 23.2 cubic feet, though some rivals offer slightly more space. With the seats folded, there's an ample 50.9 cubic feet of storage space available.

The Cross Country, just like the standard V60, has only a modest amount of interior storage for your personal effects. Child seats are easy to install, and there's plenty of space for a rear-facing infant seat even behind 6-foot-tall front occupants.

Fuel Economy

7.0/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA rates the V60 Cross Country at 25 mpg combined (22 city/31 highway). On our 115-mile standardized evaluation loop, the Cross Country returned 25.9 mpg, which is slightly lower than what we'd expect since the route is biased toward highway driving.

Value

7.5/10

Is the V60 Cross Country a good value? In terms of pricing, the V60 Cross Country is a bit on the expensive side, especially since Volvo has done away with the more powerful midgrade T6 engine but kept the higher midgrade price. But in return, you get an interior that is beautifully designed with high-quality materials and sturdy construction and plenty of comfort features. It's refined and luxurious, which helps justify the cost.

Warranty duration is about average for the industry, but Volvo offers lifetime coverage for all Volvo genuine parts that are installed by an authorized workshop — a nice perk for peace of mind. Free scheduled maintenance is also included for three years.

Wildcard

8.0/10

The V60 Cross Country may not be as glued to the road as the V60, but it retains its nimbleness and brings better ride quality as well as extra ground clearance to the mix. There's potentially more ability for off-road exploration, but if you drive primarily on paved roads, it won't be quite as much fun as the standard V60.

The V60, in any form, is a handsome vehicle, unmistakable for any other brand on the road, and it hits the sweet spot between form and function.

Which V60 Cross Country does Edmunds recommend?

Volvo makes this choice easy because, well, there is no choice. The T5 AWD is the V60 Cross Country's sole trim level, and it gets you a good mix of features. We'd add the Advance package to bolster the car's standard equipment list with more advanced safety features and the Bowers & Wilkins premium audio system.

5/5 stars, Ready for anything--updated

NorthStar driver, 07/17/2020

T5 4dr Wagon AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

This is my second Volvo and first Cross Country. I learned to drive in a Volvo 245 wagon, so in a way, this is coming home. After years of owning Saabs (sedan and convertible), I switched to Volvo 5 years, picking up an AWD S60. It has been a great commuter car for me, but at times I felt constrained if I wanted to shop at Home Depot or Costco on my way home for work. My wife has … driven the Grand Caravan, then Touareg and now Audi Q5s. The V60 CC is as capable a vehicle as you will find, albeit not as sporty as some. The seats are luxurious, and I never tire of sitting in them for a long drive--or just a quick hop. The three variants of driving experience--Eco, Comfort, and Dynamic provide different settings to suit your mood. Dynamic is my preferred for rush hour, but the vehicle is heavy enough that it really is not a "sport driving" vehicle. A few weeks after receiving the car, I did upgrade to Polestar optimization. This is a chip upgrade that changes the engine and transmission programming. It changed the car into much more of sport sedan feeling (within constraints of the suspension), and is quite worth it if you can afford the approximately $1200 cost. The Polestar optimization does not affect warranty or fuel economy. With the Polestar upgrade, Dynamic mode becomes Polestar mode. Eco setting has best mileage, but has long slow shifts, so save it for when you are not in a hurry--I get over 31 mpg on the highway in Eco mode. The standard Comfort setting, on as default at start, is really a good all purpose driving experience. Comfort is very good in snow and ice. Fit and finish has been excellent. Complaints about little interior storage are valid, but as the usually sole occupant, it is ample. The standard stereo lacks some brightness and low range bass that I enjoyed on the Harmon Kardon system in my S60. If music is really important to your driving experience, I would recommend upgrading the sound system. Amazing safety gear--even automatically avoids collisions if I should start to change lanes and a care has moved into my blind spot. I bought my car in June 2020, when there were many incentives, so the price was quite good with 0% financing. I'm a Costco member, which really helped with the transaction experience and cost. Overall, a great vehicle for dealing with whatever mission you are going on, and wish to be comfortable to boot.

5/5 stars, Absolutely love our V60 cross country

Seattle Driver, 08/06/2020

T5 4dr Wagon AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

Spent quite some time looking for small crossovers and wagon alternatives with an edge for safety, technology, and luxury and this car has not disappointed one bit. The Advance package with pilot assist is a joy when driving along the highway and has already saved our butts in crazy Seattle traffic a couple times, definitely worth it. The interior with the cross country pro package is …

5/5 stars, Wife Wanted an SUV, I wanted a Sedan

lflorack, 07/07/2020

T5 4dr Wagon AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

My wife wanted an SUV for utility and space. I wanted a sedan for it's better milage and handling - and not wanting to follow the herd to buy an SUV like so many others in the US. Since we had decided to change to a one-vehicle family, we needed to compromise. Then we found the 2020 V60 Cross Country. This car is everything that we both wanted. I never thought I'd be buying a …

5/5 stars, A luxurious Outback/SUV alternative

Juhani, 06/04/2020

T5 4dr Wagon AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

The Cross Country is a very satisfying package that feels just right. It is luxurious, comfortable and well made. It is not the fastest with the only available T5 engine, but still fast enough, and faster than the official numbers would have you believe. Handling is better than the SUVs I’ve had (2012 and 2018 Grand Cherokee), but more comfortable than the sports sedans (2015 BMW 335i, …

Volvo V60 Cross Country vs. Audi A4 Allroad

The Audi A4 Allroad is the V60 Cross Country's closest competitor — so close, in fact, that the two cars offer nearly identical power, fuel economy and features. The V60 has more comfortable seats, but the Audi has the more impressive and intuitive infotainment system. Both offer good cargo capacity, but the Audi has more storage compartments throughout the cabin.

Volvo V60 Cross Country vs. Subaru Outback

Because the Subaru Outback isn't a premium model like the V60 Cross Country, let's look at the top-trim Touring XT for a closer comparison. That variant gets the hotter turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder good for 260 hp along with leather upholstery and a host of extra features. Fuel economy is about the same, but the Subaru only requires regular gas (premium is recommended for the Volvo). The Outback offers more cargo space behind the rear seats (32.5 cubic feet versus 23.2 cubes), and even in top trim, starts thousands less than the Volvo. The V60 Cross Country, though, will feel like a substantially more expensive car.

Volvo V60 Cross Country vs. Volvo XC60

Choosing between the Volvo V60 Cross Country lifted wagon and the XC60 SUV really comes down to personal preference. The XC60 has a lower starting price, though all-wheel drive isn't standard. It also has more cargo space, but the V60 offers a more engaging, car-like driving experience. However, the XC60 can be had with a 295-hp turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-liter engine or a plug-in hybrid drivetrain that pairs that same engine with an electric motor packing 400 hp.
