Maybe if I was more patient I ‘d have gotten more detailed to the EPA integrated 27 mpg (8.7 L/100 km), too– rather the very best I might balance was 23 mpg (10.2 L/100 km). One questions just how much lower it would lack the 48 V moderate hybrid system.

While I am a huge fan of the method the V60’s front seats look, they might do with rather a lot more lateral assistance. It absolutely seems like you’re sat on them, not in them, if that makes good sense. The $56,595 (consisting of shipment charge) Ultra trim includes ventilation and an excellent massage function to the front seats, in addition to alternatives like the tan Nappa leather you see in the (not-great) image. (Sadly Volvo’s media website didn’t have any great ones either.) Ultra likewise includes a heads-up display screen and a much better stereo, although our test cars and truck was offered an even much better $3,200 Bowers and Wilkins sound upgrade.

Otherwise, the cabin is still much as it was 5 years earlier. I value the practical functions, like properly designed hooks in the freight location that keep your shopping bags in location, which aren’t constantly as helpful as the ones here. While the infotainment system is old and its screen is little by 2025’s requirements, there are 4 USB-C ports in the automobile, and Google is integrated. There’s likewise Apple CarPlay, however you’ll require to utilize a cable television. You’ll wish to plug your phone in anyhow, as there’s no cordless charging pad.

My greatest problem about the V60 Cross Country is the over-eager rear emergency situation braking system. A big curb or bollard can activate it, knocking on the anchors while doing so, which is frustrating when I am backing into a parking area at possibly 5 miles per hour, however I comprehend why the safety-conscious car manufacturer has actually set it the method it has. After 2 weeks with the automobile there was little else I might discover to slam, and I missed its dexterity, simple trip, and fairly sensible size compared to the huge electrical SUVs that have actually taken its location in the screening schedule because.

Station wagon shopping in 2025 is a brief procedure; when Audi stops offering the A4 Allroad, this V60 Cross Country has no genuine competing. It’s an excellent thing it’s a quite good example of the type.
