2023 Volvo V60 Cross Country Review

Name: 2023 Volvo V60 Cross Country
Brand: Volvo

Price Range: $39,213 - $43,590

Volvo V60 Cross Country B5 Ultimate Wagon Exterior Shown

The 2023 Volvo V60 Cross Country 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. A revised version of the four-cylinder and an updated tech interface make the V60 Cross Country more compelling, but not enough to improve its score. If you're looking for a well-rounded luxury wagon, the V60 is a good place to start.

2020 Volvo V60 Cross Country 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.

Absolutely love our V60 cross country

Seattle Driver, 08/06/2020

2020 Volvo V60 Cross Country 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 …

Wife Wanted an SUV, I wanted a Sedan

lflorack, 07/07/2020

2020 Volvo V60 Cross Country 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 …

A luxurious Outback/SUV alternative

Juhani, 06/04/2020

2020 Volvo V60 Cross Country 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, …
