Volvo V60: General Information
The Volvo V60 is a compact executive station wagon (estate) from Volvo Cars, positioned as a premium, practical alternative to small luxury SUVs. Now in its second generation (introduced 2018 on the Volvo Scalable Product Architecture), the V60 has been offered in both a conventional wagon and a raised "Cross Country" variant; the Cross Country adds ride height, body cladding and standard all‑wheel drive for improved usability in mixed road conditions.
For the 2026 U.S. market the V60 is concentrated into the Cross Country body style with a single powertrain family: a 2.0‑liter turbocharged mild‑hybrid inline‑4 (B5) paired with an 8‑speed automatic and standard AWD. The 2026 lineup is simple — two equipment levels — and emphasizes Volvo’s long‑distance comfort, useful cargo area for the class, advanced active‑safety suite and Google‑based infotainment. Typical outputs and economy for the B5 Cross Country are ~247 hp and roughly 23/31 mpg city/highway, with U.S. MSRP levels in the mid‑$50k range.
