2026 Volvo V60 Cross Country Review, Pricing, and Specs
Specs See all specs EPA MPG 27 Combined Seating 5 Seats Powertrain Gas Drivetrain All-Wheel Drive Limited Warranty 4 Years/50,000 Miles Overview While station wagons used to be wood-paneled purveyors of the boring, modern wagons—what few remain, at least—are opting for a more luxurious approach, and the 2026 Volvo V60 Cross Country is one such family-hauler. While it's undeniably a station wagon, the V60 Cross Country rides on a slightly lifted suspension and wears some rugged styling cues that wouldn't look out of place on an SUV. Under the hood is a 247-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Performance is average, and the V60 isn't a track star, but it rides comfortably and feels stable in corners. Premium amenities abound inside, and the top-spec trim ups the luxury appeal with nappa leather upholstery and extra tech goodies. Expert Tip: If you want something a little larger and more luxurious, consider the Volvo V90 Cross Country, which offers a similar vibe in a bigger package. What's New for 2026? The V60 Cross Country carries over to the new year with no significant changes. Unfortunately, its racier sibling—the V60 Polestar Engineered—has been discontinued. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2026 Volvo V60 / V60 Cross Country starts at $53,495 and goes up to $58,795 depending on the trim and options. Plus $53,495 Ultra $58,795 0 $10k $20k $30k $40k $50k $60k $70k $80k $90k We think the Ultra trim is worth the upgrade, as it brings niceties such as a 14-speaker Harman/Kardon stereo system, heated and ventilated front seats, three-zone automatic climate control, nappa leather upholstery, and a head-up display. Engine, Transmission, and Performance Engine: 247-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder 247-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder Transmission: 8-speed automatic 8-speed automatic Drivetrain: all-wheel drive The V60 Cross Country is powered by a 247-hp turbocharged four-cylinder and comes with all-wheel drive. As long as you're not pushing it too hard, the V60 Cross Country feels agile and planted through corners, and the engine is responsive around town. 0–60-MPH Times In Comparison: The V60's chief rival is the Audi A4 Allroad, which proved far quicker in our testing than the Volvo, hitting 60 mph in 5.2 seconds.

On our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test route, a V60 Cross Country achieved 29 mpg. For more information about the V60's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. Interior, Comfort, and Cargo First Row: Volvo designs some great interiors, and the V60's cabin is similar to the posh environs in the S60 sedan and the XC60 SUV. The wagon's cabin is spacious, the seats are comfortable, and the design is undeniably upscale. But Volvo's minimalist approach means that many controls are hidden away inside the infotainment screen. Nice materials such as metal trim, real wood, and soft leather make the interior look and feel more expensive than it is. Second Row: While it's not as roomy in the back seat as the larger V90 Cross Country, the V60 should still fit a pair of adults in relative comfort. Volvo's comfy seats extend to the back as well, and there are premium amenities such as leather upholstery and dedicated air vents. Cargo Capacity: Cargo capacity is great, too, something we expect from a station wagon. In our testing, we fit eight carry-on suitcases behind the rear seats and a total of 22 with the seats folded. For reference, the Audi A4 Allroad fit two fewer carry-ons in both tests.

The interface runs on a vertically oriented 9.0-inch touchscreen, which responds fairly quickly. However, it's not flawless, as the interface features on-screen icons that are too small for easy use while driving. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both standard, as is Bluetooth connectivity and an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot powered by a 4G LTE data connection. Safety and Driver-Assistance Features Volvo's safety-focused ethos means driver-assistance features such as lane-keeping assist, automated emergency braking, and other collision-avoidance technologies are standard. Standard Safety Features: automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control For information about the V60 Cross Country's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Warranty and Maintenance Coverage Volvo's standard protection plan doesn't break from the luxury-brand norm, offering four years or 50,000 miles for both powertrain and limited warranty coverage, but it does add some value in the form of a three-year complimentary scheduled maintenance plan Limited Warranty: four years or 50,000 miles four years or 50,000 miles Powertrain Warranty: four years or 50,000 miles four years or 50,000 miles Complimentary Maintenance: three years or 36,000 miles C/D Test Results and Specs We test every vehicle we can.
