The new all-terrain wagon Volvo B60 Cross Country was officially presented on September 25, 2018 on the eve of the world premiere. In our review of the Volvo V60 Cross Country 2019-2020 - photos and videos, price and configuration, technical characteristics of a station wagon raised above the road with 210 mm ground clearance, standard all-wheel drive and a plastic protective suit along the lower perimeter of the body. The novelty by default is the brother of the usual one, presented in the spring of 2018 at the Geneva Motor Show.

Production of the new Volvo V60 Cross Country will start at the end of 2018 at the Torslanda plant in Gothenburg, Sweden. Acceptance of orders for "sixty" with a station wagon and a Cross Country attachment in Europe opens in early 2019 by the price from 52,350 euros for a diesel Volvo V60 Cross Country D4 AWD (190-horsepower turbo diesel, 8 automatic transmissions and four-wheel drive). It is gratifying that, unlike the usual Volvo V60 station wagon, which is not planned to be sold in Russia, the elevated Volvo V60 Cross Country station wagon will appear on the Russian market, and, possibly, in the spring of 2019.

It is immediately necessary to find and point out the differences between the usual V60 station wagon and the V60 Cross Country version:

• firstly, it is, of course, increased ground clearance by as much as 75 mm to an impressive figure of 210 mm;
• secondly, a powerful plastic body kit around the body of the "sixty" Cross Country, which protects the lower parts of the front and rear bumpers, the edges of the wheel arches and sills from minor damage when driving off-road;
• thirdly, the rear bumper is additionally equipped with a powerful protective chrome plate and bifurcated tailpipes of the exhaust system, displacing the trapezoidal tailpipes of a conventional station wagon;
• fourthly, the off-road wagon is standardly equipped with 18-inch rims with 215/55 R18 tires (for a surcharge, larger 19-20 inch wheels with 235/45 R19 and 245/40 R20 tires, respectively).

These are details that can be easily noticed during an external examination of the body of the novelty. However, there are a lot of other improvements invisible to the eye. At the heart of the all-terrain Volvo V60 Cross Country is the modular SPA platform, akin to the novelty not only with brothers - the Volvo V60 station wagon and, but also with crossovers and, as well as with larger Volvo models, and an all-terrain station wagon.

Thus, looking at the older brother of the Volvo V90 Cross Country, which has received a lot of chassis modifications compared to the conventional 90-series station wagon, we can say with 100% probability that the Volvo V60 Cross Country's suspension has been significantly improved compared to the chassis of the Volvo V60 station wagon.

The all-terrain station wagon is equipped with original springs, shock absorbers and stabilizers, which can ensure a comfortable and stable behavior of the car on any type of road with different surfaces. Adaptive dampers and air suspension are offered for a surcharge. In the presence of AWD all-wheel drive and Off-Road mode, prescribed in the settings of the driving electronics.

The five-seater salon of the Volvo V60 Cross Country station wagon raised above the road exactly repeats the interior decoration of the usual Volvo V60 station wagon in expensive trim levels. Standard interior "sixty" Cross Country with a combined trim of seats with fabric and artificial leather (for a surcharge, full leather trim of the seats is offered), a virtual instrument panel, an advanced multimedia complex Volvo Cars "Sensus Connect infotainment system with a 9.5-inch color touch screen (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Wi-Fi, 4-zone climate control CleanZone), comfortable seats for the driver and front passenger (electric drive, heating, ventilation, massage).

By default, the car is equipped with an automatic braking system with the function of detecting pedestrians, cyclists and animals. As an option, Pilot Assist is provided, operating at speeds up to 130 km / h (the car independently keeps in the lane and will not allow you to leave the oncoming lane or on the side of the road), as well as an automatic braking system that is activated when an obstacle is detected in cross-traffic when crossing intersections.

Specifications Volvo V60 Cross Country 2019-2020.
From the start of sales, the new all-terrain station wagon will be offered in two versions.
Diesel Volvo V60 Cross Country D4 AWD with 190-horsepower turbo diesel, 8 automatic transmissions and all-wheel drive.
Petrol Volvo V60 Cross Country T5 AWD with a 254-horsepower turbo engine, 8 automatic transmissions and all-wheel drive.
Perhaps closer to the summer of 2019, a more powerful 310-horsepower gasoline version of the Volvo V60 Cross Country T6 AWD, and hybrid modifications - the Volvo V60 Cross Country T6 Twin Engine AWD (340 hp) and the Volvo V60 Cross Country T8 Twin Engine AWD will enter the market. (390 hp).

The Volvo company truly pleases with new experimental ideas. Knowing that the trend of combining different platforms and bodies is gaining momentum, the designers of the Swedish company went to the forefront and presented the world with something new. The fruitful work of engineers brought to light the Volvo V60 Cross Country - a station wagon crossed with an SUV. Its prototype was the V60 station wagon, the most standard and unremarkable. The crossover debuted last year at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The car took a long time to reach domestic buyers, but it finally happened.

Exterior of the new Volvo B60 Cross Country 2016–2017

The appearance of the car is very much reminiscent of the previous, original version, which has been repeatedly recognized by experts, critics, and the media as the most attractive, stylish and spectacular specimen in its segment. However, at the same time, the beginner still has his own distinctive features, and they favorably emphasize his individuality, uniqueness and unique style.

The sleek and dynamic lines that the Volvo V60 Cross Country inherited from its prototype are combined with completely new body elements that add flavor to the already original off-road station wagon image.

On the front of the body there is a false radiator grille with large honeycombs and the logo of the Volvo manufacturer. Large headlights with modern LED and xenon optics look very nice. A solid bumper with aerodynamic inserts, recesses for foglights in the form of a thick strip of LED lights goes harmoniously in a pair of a long hood. The bold and striking exterior sets Volvo apart from other competitors.

The side view of the car gives the feeling of an even more similarity between a station wagon and a crossover. This is loudly announced by body kits, plastic protective inserts along the edges of the wheel arches, large alloy wheels with a diameter of 18 and 19 inches. Highly set windows, large doors, large rear-view mirrors with duplicate turn signal lights and other parts that are more typical for a crossover, the details automatically transfer the car from the station wagon class to a higher class.

At the rear, there is a large tailgate, chrome inserts under the bumper, an elegant exhaust system and protection arranged for easier and more convenient overcoming of difficult road sections.

To be honest, this model strongly resembles not only its immediate prototype, but also the source of another hybrid of Volvo's bodies - the C60 sedan, which was combined with an SUV, and the result was C60 Cross Country.

Dimensions Volvo V60 Cross Country 2016-2017

As you can see, in general, the dimensions have not changed much, but the ground clearance has really become higher. From the starting point of 13.6 cm, the designers have moved right up to 20.1 cm, thereby making the difference 6.5 cm, bringing the car even closer to SUVs.

Salon of the new off-road station wagon

But the interior does not shine with differences at all. An exact repetition of the internal appearance of the prototype of the novelty seemed to the designers the most practical and adequate solution, which saved a lot of work for the Swedish team.

The advantages of the salon space remain the same, it is still comfortable to be here. The center console seems to be looking at the driver, slightly turned in his direction, the dashboard shines with modernity and sophistication, and the Volvo branded steering wheel is designed to make life easier for the driver, providing quick access to many additional functions.

The interior trim is, of course, made with high quality leather and soft plastic. Aluminum inserts complement the interior design. The arrangement of the rear section of the passenger compartment will cause some inconvenience for some passengers. The fact is that in today's cars, technicians skip the transmission tunnel across the floor, making it a little more difficult for the passenger to sit on the sofa. But they have been doing this for almost thirty years, therefore, most likely, most are already accustomed to this feature.

But there are no complaints about the luggage compartment. Firstly, although its volume is far from huge, only 430 liters, neither protrusions nor wheel arches will interfere with things. Secondly, the wide tailgate swings open quite high, without interfering with the access of even large luggage. And thirdly, the designers considered it necessary to divide the rear seat into three sections, which is very commendable. Now there will be no need to evacuate all passengers to accommodate a long load; it will be enough to fold one or two sections without disturbing those sitting next to them.

Complete set Volvo B60 Cross Country

The Volvo S60 Cross Country sedan was offered to Russian motorists in just one version, and its successor, a station wagon on an SUV platform, has as many as three different configurations.

The most simplified version does not seem like this at all, because it was equipped quite richly:

• a full set of airbags;
• several systems responsible for the safety of the car and people in it;
• climate control system;
• seats upholstered in fabric;
• heated front seats;
• standard audio system;
• 18 '' light alloy wheels.

And for more demanding persons, the Volvo company has prepared many pleasant additions in the top-end configuration of a complex and mysterious high-pass station wagon:

• premium audio system;
• the ability to adjust the position of the front seats using an electric drive;
• Cruise control;
• climate control for two zones;
• LED fog lights;
• bi-xenon headlights;
• 19-inch alloy wheels, etc.

The cost of a unique station wagon

Access to the Russian market immediately generated excitement around the question of the cost of a Swedish car, attractive both externally and technical characteristics, as well as a hybrid platform and rich equipment.

The basic Kinect package will cost customers a considerable 1,980,000 rubles, and for a maximally charged device, Volvo asks for 2,150,000 rubles. This price, it should be said, is expected, although, of course, it is high. But the high cost is quite understandable, because it is practically exclusive: similar models from other manufacturers will not appear soon.

Technical data new

The manufacturer used the platform the same as that of a related station wagon - Ford EUCD. The multi-link mechanism of the technique was placed back, and the MacPherson struts were located in front. The disc brakes were supplemented with ventilation, and they also installed an electric power steering.

Unlike another hybrid of two platforms - a sedan combined with a crossover, the Volvo C60 Cross Country - the B60 model is offered with three powerplant options. The range consists of one gasoline engine and two diesel engines.

1. The first four-cylinder diesel in the basic version with a capacity of 2 liters produces 150 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque.
2. The diesel unit remained more powerful with the same volume, but one more cylinder and turbocharging were added. Power and torque are also higher - 190 hp. and 420 Nm, respectively.
3. The flagship is a five-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine. In addition, a direct fuel injection system was built into it. Displacement was 2.5 liters combined with 360 Nm of torque and 249 hp.

As for the gearbox, all motors have a 6-speed automatic transmission as a companion. True, in the first version of the motor, only front-wheel drive, but the other two engines are equipped with all-wheel drive. All this is complemented by a four-wheel drive transmission and a modern Haldex clutch on the front axle.

Conclusion

Both related station wagons look great. Volvo demonstrated its high class both in interior and exterior design and in supplying the car with equipment and electronics.

In all honesty, we must admit that the Volvo V60 Cross Country looks more noble and positive than its fellow Volvo S60 Cross Country in the experiments. Strong at first glance, the similarity is replaced by the fact that the converted sedan looks somewhat damp against the background of an off-road station wagon. Refinement of the first would not hurt.

There are no complaints about the redesigned B60, besides, the level of sales is pleasing. The final result of its popularity will be visible only after the first year on the domestic market, we will wait for the end of the reporting period.

It's no secret that on the basis of some of their models, many companies are creating something new. For example, compact crossovers are made from ordinary urban hatchbacks, and almost full-fledged SUVs are made from station wagons.

So Volvo is not going to stay away from this new trend. The result of the experiments was the release of a car called the Volvo V60 Cross Country, based on the standard V60 station wagon. Its official debut came in the fall of last year, when it was held at an auto show in Los Angeles. However, the Swedish novelty has only now reached the Russian market.

Although the car is in many ways similar to the original in the person of the Volvo B60 station wagon, it still has its own "chips" that allow it to stand out favorably against the background of its, one might say, predecessor.

Exterior Volvo V60 Cross Country 2016-2017

Already with the release of the V60 station wagon, many specialized media, critics and experts considered it one of the most stylish and attractive in its segment. And that's a fair appreciation. Therefore, the Swedes could only take a good foundation and try not to spoil it in the process of becoming a crossover. Fortunately, they did everything very, very soundly.

Yes, the car retained its elegance, dynamics of lines, impetuous image, but also acquired new body elements, which made us look differently at the Volvo V60 Cross Country.

The front part is decorated with a wide mouth of a false grille with a honeycomb mesh and a traditional manufacturer's nameplate. Large head optics, bi-xenon and LED fillings add their beauty to the image. The long powerful hood is successfully combined with an equally solid front bumper, supplemented by aerodynamic elements, sections for fog lamp strips made of LEDs. In general, the front off-road wagon looks very cool and daring. You can't take that away from Volvo.

On the side, we see the continuation of the adaptation of the car to the characteristics of the crossover. This can be traced in body kits, plastic protection of the edges of the wheel arches, huge alloy wheels of 18 or even 19 inches. Large doors, high glazing, powerful exterior mirror housings, LED turn signal repeaters, an impressive roof and much more really make the Volvo V60 Cross Country appreciate not as a station wagon, but almost a full-fledged crossover.

The stern flaunts a large, comfortable tailgate, chrome elements, a beautifully executed exhaust system, as well as protection, which provides the ability to safely overcome even difficult road sections.

In general, it is easy to find here a lot in common not only with the station wagon, on the basis of which the Cross Country was created, but also with the S60 sedan, which Volvo also decided to turn into a combination of a sedan with an SUV by releasing the S60 Cross Country version.

As for the dimensions, the following figures are relevant for an off-road station wagon:

• length - 4638 mm;
• width - 1899 mm;
• height - 1545 mm;
• wheelbase - 2774 mm;
• ground clearance - 201 mm;
• curb weight - 1712-1836 kilograms.

If the increase in size turned out to be not very significant, then the clearance of the "Swede" increased quite noticeably. The source code has at its disposal only 136 millimeters of ground clearance, that is, for the all-terrain version, the car was raised by 65 millimeters.

Interior Volvo V60 Cross Country 2016-2017

It makes no sense to study the interior design especially. Especially if you have already managed to get acquainted with the interior of the original station wagon.

Here Volvo did not re-invent the bike, but simply took the salon from the station wagon and moved it into the interior of the all-terrain variation of the V60. It turned out very well.

The interior retained its advantages, allowing for high comfort for the driver and all four passengers. From the photo and video materials, you can see how elegantly the modern digital dashboard looks inside the car, the new Volvo branded multifunctional steering wheel, as well as the center console slightly turned towards the driver.

The finish is made of high quality materials, soft plastic, genuine leather, and aluminum inserts. There are certain complaints about the rear sofa. The problem lies in the passage of the transmission tunnel along the floor, which makes it a little more difficult for a person to land in the middle of the sofa. Although everyone has long been accustomed to such an organization of space in all machines produced today and thirty years ago. Although some find a solution to this problem.

But the luggage compartment is made much more successful than in the case of the S60 sedan and its crossover version. First of all, the Volvo V60 Cross Country is able to accommodate 430 liters in the luggage compartment. The volume is far from record figures, but the floor here turns out to be even, the wheel arches do not interfere, the wide and high-rise tailgate makes it easy to put even large luggage into the car. Also, it is worth separately praising the engineers and designers for the fact that the backs of the second row are folded in three sections, each of which is lowered separately. That is, you can safely put one or two passengers back, lower the third section and place some kind of long load in the car. It is not necessary to get rid of passengers.

Options S60 Cross Country 2016-2017

Unlike the S60 Cross Country crossover sedan, the off-road wagon will be offered to Russian buyers in three different trim levels, and not in one.

But even the simplest version of the equipment offers more than an extensive list of equipment, which includes:

1. a wide range of security systems;
2. airbags;
3. climatic equipment (climate control);
4. cloth interior;
5. heated front seats;
6. standard audio system;
7. light-alloy wheels with a diameter of 18 inches.

If this does not seem enough to you, then in the top configuration you can additionally count on the following options:

1. premium audio system;
2. electric adjustment of the front seats;
3. bi-xenon head optics;
4. LED fog lights;
5. dual-zone climate control;
6. Cruise control;
7. 19-inch alloy wheels, etc.

You get a multimedia complex, navigation, a multifunctional steering wheel and a full power package from the base. You will not have to pay extra separately for this.

Price Volvo V60 Cross Country 2016-2017

Of course, since the car is available to Russian buyers, it is interesting to know the cost of the Swedish novelty, which attracts not only by its appearance and relationship with crossovers, but also by its rich filling and serious technical characteristics, which we will talk about a little later.

The prices for the complete set, which is basic for Russia and is called Kinect, the automaker from Sweden asks for from 1.98 million Russian rubles. The top-of-the-line Summum already costs from 2.15 million rubles.

As you can see, the cost of the new item is quite high, but still expected. The S60 sedan, from which Volvo tried to make a crossover, costs about the same. Let's be honest, they did it well.

Specifications V60 Cross Country 2016-2017

Now we can talk about what technical characteristics the off-road wagon is based on, and what our customers should count on.

The platform is the same as for a conventional station wagon - Ford EUCD. The suspension is independent with MacPherson struts in front and a multi-link mechanism in the rear. Disc brakes, ventilated in front. The steering has been improved by installing an electric booster.

It's good to see that the Volvo V60 Cross Country SUV is offered with three different powertrains to choose from. Indeed, for a crossover sedan in Russia, they are ready to offer only one engine.

You can choose the equipment of the engine compartment for the Volvo B60 Cross Country from two diesel engines and one gasoline engine.

1. The starting engine is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit with 150 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque.
2. The more powerful diesel has five cylinders and is turbocharged. With the same 2.0 liters of volume, the engine generates power of 190 horsepower, and its torque rises to 420 Nm.
3. The role of the flagship engine went to the gasoline power unit, which has at its disposal five cylinders and turbocharging with a direct fuel injection system. All this, in combination with 2.5 liters of displacement, makes it possible to deliver 249 horsepower and 360 Nm of torque.

All engines, without exception, are supplemented with only one gearbox - a six-speed automatic. But if the base diesel engine, together with the automatic transmission, transmit power only to the front wheels, then the other two motors in tandem with a six-speed automatic transmission distribute the load to all four wheels. In this they are perfectly helped by the all-wheel drive transmission and the latest generation Haldex clutch located on the rear axle.

Conclusion

The new Volvo V60 Cross Country station wagon or off-road station wagon looks very cool. Moreover, this applies to both appearance and interior design, equipment, technical characteristics.

Let's not hide it, it makes a much more positive impression than the S60 sedan turned into a crossover. The latter looks too damp against the background of its brother in the station wagon. Let both cars be similar, but it is the sedan that needs more serious work.

There are no complaints about the Volvo B60 Cross Country. And the consumers themselves show that such a car is appreciated by our consumer audience. Sales started off pretty well. Let's see how the first reporting year of the new product's presence on the Russian market will end.

5 / 5 ( 1 voice )

When November 2014 came, the Volvo car company decided to present at the Los Angeles Motor Show an off-road unit version of the B60 station wagon, which acquired the already standard Cross Country prefix to its name.

April 2015 became special for the Russian market, as the car reached us, after which orders began to be accepted. Many already know that sometimes on the platform of some of their cars, some firms produce something new.

For example, from the most standard hatchbacks, they produce compact crossovers, from the station wagon version - almost full-fledged SUVs. Therefore, Volvo decided to keep up with the release of a car based on the V60 station wagon. The whole range of Volvo.

Exterior

When the B60 station wagon first came out, a large number of specialized media, along with critics and experts, considered it one of the most stylish and attractive in its own category. And this is a well-deserved high ball.

Therefore, the Swedish specialists only have to take a good foundation and make every effort so as not to spoil it in the process of restructuring into a crossover. To our joy with you, they all turned out well and soundly.

Volvo V60 Cross Country

Yes, the car has retained the presence of elegance, dynamics of lines, impetuous image, however, it received new body elements that make you look at the car in a new way. The nose part is decorated with a wide mouth of a false radiator grill with a mesh, the shape of which resembles a honeycomb.

The traditional nameplate of the company from Sweden remained in its place. Engineers equipped the car with large head optics, bi-xenon and LED filling, which brings its charm to the exterior of the car, a long powerful hood, which successfully connects with an equally massive bumper installed in front, and is complemented by aerodynamic elements, as well as sections for fog strips, which were made of LED lamps.

Volvo V60 Cross Country side view

Generally speaking, the front of the Volvo V60 Cross Country car looks very cool and even bold. Embossed stampings can be seen on the bonnet. The side section looks elegant. There is a continuation of the adaptation of the car to the features of a small SUV.

This is noticeable in body kits, plastic protections for the edges of the wheel arches, large light-alloy wheel rims, the size of which can be 18 and 19 inches. There is also the presence of large doors, high glazing, powerful housings for external rear-view mirrors, LED turn signals, an impressive roof and other things, which actually makes it possible to evaluate the Volvo B60 Cross Country not as a station wagon, but as an almost real crossover.

Volvo V60 Cross Country rear view

The rear of the car has a large, comfortable tailgate, chrome elements, a beautifully executed exhaust system and protection that allows you to safely overcome even difficult road sections.

Honestly, the aft part of the Volvo makes it possible to find a lot of similarities not only with the station wagon version, on the platform of which Cross Country was designed, but also with the C60 sedan version, which company also decided to rebuild into a sedan with a SUV, producing the C60 Cross Country version.

Volvo V60 Cross Country front view

The car creates the feeling of a very stylish and somewhat sophisticated crossover. This is not a classic SUV designed for the frequent off-road and bumpy roads of our country. Despite the fact that he acquired body kits, plastic door sills, and a slightly lowered plastic edge on the front bumper, this is only for decorative purposes.

Volvo V60 Cross Country

Such protection will not be able to have a practical effect, however, with the help of impressive ground clearance, the lower part of the car will be preserved. Remained unchanged, except that the large red and white taillights, which were created in the corporate style.

The latter also touch the rear walls of the body. The black plastic bumper has a brushed metal decorative strip.

Dimensions (edit)

The novelty of the Swiss automobile production is presented in the following overall dimensions: in length, the station wagon is 4 638 mm, in width 1 899 mm, in height 1 545 mm, wheelbase is equal to 2 774 mm.

The height of the ground clearance turned out to be solid, as much as 201 mm, which will greatly delight the domestic motorists of our country. The station wagon version had only a modest 136 mm of ground clearance. The curb weight of the machine ranges from 1,712 0 1,836 kg.

Interior

The interior of the Cross Country off-road car fully copies the existing one in the B60 model, where everything looks simple, stylish, functional and expensive. When you get inside the car for the first time, you reluctantly highlight the excellent quality of any details, buttons and stitches.

The materials used for the finishes are just fine. If there is plastic, then it is soft even where competitors use cheaper, hard ones. The fittings were just perfect, the gaps between the joints are the smallest, and any button not only looks expensive, but is pressed with a “family” pleasant effort.

Interior Volvo V60 Cross Country

The front-mounted panel is minimalist, which is slightly diluted by the unique "floating" console installed in the center. The dashboard adjusts and changes according to the mood, and all displayed information is read with lightning speed, with the help of which the driver is not distracted for a long time from driving on the road.

The seats installed in front can be confidently called exemplary, because they have the optimal ratio of density, girth and softness. There is good lateral support that can keep a person in an optimal position when entering tight turns at high speed.

Photo of the salon Volvo V60 Cross Country

It is possible for any person to fit behind the steering wheel of a car without any special problems, no matter what his equipment and height are. This has been achieved thanks to the large number of seat and steering wheel settings. The steering wheel itself has an optimal diameter and has a slightly convex section, which makes it feel like the steering wheel is "poured".

The seats installed in the back are not devoid of comfort and provide the opportunity to comfortably sit for three people, but there is not much free space in the Volvo B60 Cross Country station wagon. And the transmission tunnel passing along the floor will cause discomfort for the passenger sitting in the center.

Luggage compartment Volvo V60 Cross Country

The luggage compartment is not a record, but it provides about 430 liters of usable space. However, this is not all, if necessary, you can increase the amount of useful space by folding the backrests of the rear seats, which are divided not into a pair, but into 3 sections, which causes a separate feeling of gratitude.

Therefore, in order to transport a lengthy vehicle, you do not need to drop all passengers. It's nice that the car has decorative elements such as wood and polished metal.

Specifications

The Swedish-made off-road vehicle comes with two diesel engines and a single gasoline engine. The base variation is said to be a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged diesel that develops 150 horsepower at 4,250 rpm.

More powerful units come in the form of a 5-cylinder turbocharged 2.4-liter engine that produces about 190 horsepower at 4,000 rpm.

The most powerful unit is a direct injection 5-cylinder 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine. It accelerates to 249 horses at 5,400 rpm.

All power units of the B60 Cross Country version, from Volvo, are synchronized with an uncontested automatic 6 and 8-speed gearbox, which, together with the base 2.0-liter version, transmits torque to the front wheels, and all "senior" ones to two axles, since there is already an all-wheel drive transmission with a Haldex clutch, which is located in the rear axle.

On the technical side, the SUV is unified with the unpretentious Volvo B60, where the Ford EUCD architecture is present. There you can find the presence of independent suspensions "in a circle".

The vehicle is steered by means of an electric power steering. The braking system is represented by the presence of all-disc brakes, which are complemented by a ventilation option on the front wheels.

Safety

It's no secret that safety is absolutely the main "feature" of all Volvo cars, which Swedish specialists and engineering staff devote the most hours.

Therefore, the Cross Country station wagon has the IntelliSafe system, which is designed to protect not only those sitting in the car itself, but also those outside it. Among this we can highlight the presence of automatic detection of pedestrians and motorists.

IntelliSafe system

Separately, I would like to say about the CitySafety system, which is able to prevent collisions with other cars when driving in a high-speed mode that does not exceed 50 km / h. In addition, the car uses the services of tracking the state of the driver, monitors the "blind" zones and knows how to warn the driver about moving cars in the intersecting direction.

CitySafety system

This allows you to more reliably leave a tight place in the parking lot, even if the driver is as limited as possible in his view. It is already customary that the brand new Volvo V60 Cross Country comes with a stabilization system, anti-lock brakes, directional stability, seat belts with pretensioners, and ISOFIX child anchorages.

2016 Volvo V60 Cross Country

The salon, although it has migrated from the station wagon version and has nothing new, looks great. Everything is very high quality and expensive. The build level is, as always, on top. There is a comfortable and versatile steering wheel, a nice dashboard, a center console, which is topped with a color screen. It's nice to have a tree, which gives a certain status.

The all-new Volvo V60 Cross Country debuted at a special event on September 25, 2018. Her world presentation could be seen at the International Paris Motor Show of the same year. In fact, the model is a full-fledged second generation, not a restyling. The start of sales in the countries of the old world is scheduled for early 2019, and the first cars should reach the domestic market in the spring of the same year. Distinguishing such a version from the usual station wagon of the 60th series is not difficult. First of all, noticeably increased ground clearance and a classic black crossover body kit are striking. On the sills, bumpers and wheel arches, there are small covers made of protective unpainted plastic. At the rear, you can see an additional protective chrome strip and modified tailpipes of the exhaust system. On this model, they are two angular "double-barreled". Otherwise, the car has retained the refined and laconic design of the original model.

Dimensions (edit)

Volvo B60 Cross Country is a mid-size five-door all-terrain station wagon. Its overall dimensions are: length 4784 mm, width 1850 mm, height 1499 mm, and wheelbase 2874 mm. The ground clearance has been increased by 75 mm compared to the regular version, and is as much as 210 mm, which is quite a solid figure for this class. The vehicle is based on a proprietary SPA platform with a completely independent architecture. There are two wishbones in front, and a multi-link in the back. By default, coil springs and conventional telescopic shock absorbers are installed in a circle. At an additional cost, it is possible to order a pneumatic system and adaptive stands. Trunk size is impressive. With the backrests of the second row of seats up and loaded under the top bunk, the estate provides up to 529 liters of free space. If you donate the back sofa, you can get up to 1441 liters.

Specifications

In the domestic market, the car is sold exclusively with one set of units. The Volvo V60 Cross Country is powered by a two-liter T5 turbocharged inline four. Thanks to an advanced supercharging system and direct fuel injection, it produces 250 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 350 Nm of thrust in the range from 1800 to 4800 crankshaft revolutions per minute. A classic eight-band hydromechanical automatic with eight gears is used as a gearbox. The drive is exceptionally complete. Acceleration from zero to hundreds will take 6.8 seconds, and the high-speed ceiling is electronically limited to 250 kilometers per hour.

Equipment

In Russian dealerships, the Volvo V60 Cross Country is supplied exclusively in the Plus configuration. It, by default, includes front side and side airbags, curtains, traction control and anti-lock braking systems, coupled with ESP, leather interior, LED headlights, as well as light and rain sensors. At an additional cost, options such as an automatic parking system, laminated side windows, an all-round visibility system and a panoramic roof are available.
