Described by Volvo as the personification of the “Swedish family van with a unique versatility capable of adapting perfectly for city use to the off road tracks of skogen (forest in Swedish)”, the Volvo V60 Cross Country is the latest proposal from Scandinavian brand in the Portuguese market.
Developed based on the Volvo V60 (thus based on the SPA platform), the V60 Cross Country comes with 75 mm more height from the ground than the V60 and also has a chassis and suspension specially designed to enhance its off-road capabilities.
In addition to greater ground clearance, the V60 Cross Country also has, as standard, all-wheel drive, with the Hill Descent Control system and an Off-Road driving mode, all this so that the Swedish van is able to cope with at ease off-road adventures.
security above all
As usual with Volvo models, it's impossible to talk about the V60 Cross Country without talking about a series of safety systems and driving aids. These include “City Safety”, “Pilot Assist”, “Run-off Road Mitigation”, “Oncoming Lane Mitigation” and the optional “Cross Traffic Alert” with automatic braking.

Still in the technology chapter but in the entertainment department, the V60 Cross Country comes equipped with the “Sensus Connect” infotainment system that is compatible with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and 4G.
How much will it cost?
For now, Volvo has only released the prices of the 190 hp Diesel D4 AWD version equipped with an eight-speed geartronic automatic transmission, which will be available from 57 937 euros.
Håkan Samuelsson — President and CEO of Volvo Cars.The new V60 Cross Country perfectly represents the traditional Swedish family van capable of adapting to various environments. We invented the Cross Country segment over 20 years ago and with this car we reinforce the tradition of safety, versatility and strength of our vans.
The gasoline version is also expected (the T5 AWD with 250 hp) and, later, the electrified versions, both in plug-in hybrid and mild-hybrid modes.
