What to Know About the 2024 Volvo V60 Cross Country
January 24 2024,
The 2024 Volvo V60 Cross Country is a great alternative for buyers who need the practicality of an SUV but prefer the design and performance of a sedan. As one of the last premium wagons on the Canadian market, the V60 Cross Country is a prime example of the advantages of this often-forgotten body style.
A generous cargo space
Volvo has long been known to make some of the most practical wagons available, and the 2024 V60 Cross Country doesn’t stray away from this reputation. Indeed, this model offers a vast load space that can transport up to 519 liters of cargo behind the rear seats or up to 1,431 liters with the rear seats folded down. This is comparable to many compact SUVs, proving that wagons such as the V60 are a great alternative to compact SUVs for those who want to stand out from the crowd by driving something different. In addition, Volvo offers a long list of genuine accessories that are designed to help you make the most of your V60’s cargo compartment, such as a steel protection grille, a cargo net, a retractable load cover, and a reversible cargo floor protector.
A powerful and efficient engine
The 2024 Volvo V60 Cross Country is available with a technologically advanced mild-hybrid powertrain that combines a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine and a 48-volt electric system that can provide a boost of torque during acceleration and a smoother operation of the stop/start system. This combination makes for an output of 247 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque with a combined fuel consumption rating of only 8.9 L/100 km. The V60 also comes standard with an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive in order to offer the highest level of traction and stability on slippery roads. Drivers who want even more power along with an all-electric range can look at the impressive V60 Recharge plug-in hybrid.
A distinctive design
The 2024 Volvo V60 Cross Country is a very distinctive model since it combines the best elements from different types of vehicles in a stylish and practical package. Indeed, the 2024 Volvo V60 is based on the S60 sedan, so it shares most of its exterior and interior design with this model from the front until the rear doors. Going further aft, the V60 distinguishes itself from the S60 by adopting a wagon body style that gives it almost as much cargo space as an SUV, without giving it the same look. Another benefit of the V60 over a similarly sized SUV is its lower roof which makes it easier to clear snow off the vehicle or to install equipment on the available luggage rack.
The Cross Country package
The 2024 Volvo V60 is now only available with the Cross Country package on the Canadian market (except for the V60 Recharge). This means that every V60 receives features such as an increased ground clearance, rugged-looking black plastic wheel arch and lower-body mouldings, distinctive wheels, and a unique grille design.
A long list of features
The 2024 Volvo V60 Cross Country is equipped with everything buyers expect from a vehicle of this category, such as the Google Built-in infotainment system which includes native support for apps like Google Maps and the voice-based Google Assistant. The V60 also comes standard with the full-range of safety features Volvo is known for, including lane-keeping assist with oncoming traffic mitigation that can pull the vehicle back in its lane if it detects a risk of impacting on oncoming vehicle, forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and the WHIPS whiplash protection system that prevents neck injuries in case of a rear-end collision.
