Meh, it's just slightly longer than Outback (just under 7" longer) but rides 3" lower and gets an AWD system that actually helps handling.
Another thing is V60 curb weight is in the 4000 to 4200 lbs range while TourX is between 3700 to 3850 lbs despite being larger inside and out. Practically that means that I would probably have to spring for the 316-hp T6 engine in the Volvo just to match or exceed what the TourX is doing with its 250-hp engine.

The American car buying populace (with the exception of automotive writers) largely disagrees with me. Nonetheless, one of my favorite cars that I drove in 2019 was a station wagon, the Volvo V60 Cross Country.
The standard V60 offers two engine options, both based on Volvo's 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder, the 254-hp turbocharged T5 or the 316-hp T6 which adds a supercharger to the mix. The Cross Country is only available with the T5 and frankly that's just fine. An eight-speed automatic transmission is the only gearbox available and it sends torque to all corners through a standard all-wheel-drive system. Title should state 2019 Cross Country my error |

Avanti, the T6 was a 2019 option only. 2020, it's gone from the V60 lineup.
Also, for 2020, if you want AWD, you *have to* get the V60 CrossCountry. No longer available in the V60. --kC |

kC I didn't say anything, It's a stupid Review from Forbes ( just posted), You asked when was it written, So I said 2019 like the guy said in article 2019. I just thought someone would like to read it, Thats why I didn't start a new thread. As far as engine crap, IN 2019 From Volvo Website
https://www.volvocars.com/za/cars/ne...specifications Im not really well versed on Volvo at the moment, I wouldn't buy it for multiple reasons. That color interior along with the steering wheel ( looks like an old Ford left over from posted picture )is ugly too, not to mention the price. Throw in China Geely no Thanks |

The V60 has e-AWD option now. It's the T8 Polestar. If you want an AWD V60 it's pushing $70k.

I have never thought of Volvo as a premium brand. I've always placed it as occupying a mid-tier space, like something between VW and Audi. I see some of the prices for the cars discussed in here, and just don't get it. Also, a bit surprised, as I see a good number of Volvo's running around...

My wife wants a Volvo to replace her 2012 Outback, but we don't really want to pay $40k for a new one to get trashed by the kids and Mass winters. We might pick up a used 2019 or 2020 in a couple years. Euro Delivery would be cool though. The infusion of Chinese cash has really let Volvo jump into the high-stakes games - their pre-Geely models just didn't compete. |
