CNBC Review: Volvo’s V60 Cross Country is the best luxury crossover
Volvo's always been known in the U.S. for its safe, boxy wagons. Even though SUVs have long accounted for most of the brand’s sales, the Volvo wagon is iconic.
For good reason, too. If you want a comfortable, luxury wagon for the whole family, Volvo's the best game in town.
And after spending a week in the company's lifted, all-wheel-drive V60 Cross Country, it's easy to recommend the Swedish wagon as a slick and stylish crossover alternative.
The good
The most important thing to know is that this gorgeous and impeccably appointed wagon, tested with just about every option, stickers for $56,990. A fair bit of cash, but thousands cheaper than the latest Mercedes C-Class or BMW 330i we tested. This despite offering similar equipment, similar power, wagon practicality, and a truly beautiful interior. Compared to similarly equipped and appointed SUVs, like a well-optioned Mercedes GLC or Audi Q5, the Volvo fares even better.
And it doesn't feel anything like the budget pick. The exterior design "which mostly matches every other Volvo " still looks refined and modern. The supple cream leather, linear lime matte wood inlays, diamond-cut controls and premium aluminum accents work together perfectly. It's not a new look for Volvo, but the interior still feels more cohesive and impressive than just about any other competitors.
Plus, you get the superb Bowers & Wilkins stereo system and Volvo's Pilot Assist semi-autonomous system. Volvo continues to knock it out of the park with comfort, too, delivering some of the most consistently comfortable seats for long journeys. Supple suspension and a relaxed driving demeanor help, too.
