A head-up display and flatscreen gauge cluster delight drivers, but both are upstaged by the large infotainment screen. Cushy seats – Volvo trademarks – offer firm side bolstering, supportive lumbar, and extendable lower front cushions to go along with heated outboard positions front and rear.
For $4,000, it sure as Sweden ought to be!īut, there’s more to this modern Volvo cabin. The Bowers & Wilkins audio system with its “Gothenburg Concert Hall” mode is among the best audio systems ever to come factory fresh in an automobile. Air vents click in place with precision as diamond-cut switches for starting and driving modes adorn the console. Matte wood adorns the console, dash and doors while stitched coverings, metal speaker grilles, and satin silver trim elevate ambience. A gently sloping roof with twin panels of glass, black plastic cladding around the wheel wells, 19” alloys, and power hatch enhance this car’s suit.Īn interior that’s well-made without being ostentatious should be no surprise given the V60’s adherence to Scandinavian design principles. Volvos are also known for their strong shoulders, and this car has them, but stylists added crisp bodylines that extend from hood to rump, giving the car a more defined look. A toothy grille with large logo, corner-bending LED headlamps, “Thor’s Hammer” driving lights, and rear lights that extend into the D-pillar put a brand stamp on this wagon. She’d like the car already in my driveway, the 2020 Volvo V60 Cross Country.
She’s not a fan of crossovers, though she could use their soft-road capabilities while keeping track of her family farm. She really wants a new C-Class wagon, but alas, they are no longer imported to the U.S.
One of my good friends, who owns a Mercedes C-Class wagon with nearly 200,000 miles, recently asked what vehicle she should buy next.
