At a Glance: 2026 Volvo V60 Cross Country

The 2026 Volvo V60 Cross Country is a wagon that is great for adventure and for daily commutes around town. It is spacious, comfortable and a bit on the luxurious side.

Engine/Transmission

It is equipped with a 4-cylinder turbocharged engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission that produces 247 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. Although its competitors might be quicker, this Volvo V60 CC is still fun to drive around. It is rated for 10.1 L/100km in a city and 7.6 L/100km on a highway with a combined 8.9 L/100km.

Handling/Performance

As mentioned earlier, the V60 CC isn’t exactly a fast wagon on a straight line. It does, however, feel planted when going through corners and agile to drive and have some fun with it. Depending on where you live in the world, you can’t really do top speed unless you’re at a race track but personally, I would take a well planted car over corners vs top speed on a straight line. On a day to day basis, it is comfortable and easy to drive.

Comfort/Interior

It is spacious for a family of 4, it has enough cargo space for belongings although not much storage space inside the cabin. It sits everyone comfortably as the seats are spacious. The front seats are comfortable with more than enough seat adjustments to find a suitable seating position. As we all know, Volvo isn’t reliable when it comes to its infotainment system so this would be nice for Volvo to up its game. I had issues with the passenger seat belt reminder going off because it thought there was someone sitting there without its belt on. Other than that, its a great wagon.

Exterior

The thing I love about Volvos are their timeless look. It may look simple and not flashy but to me that is the beauty of it; simple yet elegant. It is equipped with 20-inch wheels.

Pros/Cons

Although its German rivals might be better in terms of speed and space that too comes with a bit greater price tag. While the Volvo V60 CC remains slightly cheaper, it is still fun to drive around just about anywhere. It is spacious enough for road trips, and comfortable on the daily. The starting price of the 2026 Volvo V60 CC is $62,250 CAD ( $57,370 USD).
