One of our chief complaints about the V60 (and S60 sedan) has been ride quality in his review of the V60, editor Kelsey Mays wrote, “The chassis feels busy over all but the smoothest roads, with noticeable reverberation.” I had a feeling the V60 Cross Country might have solved those problems - in a roundabout way.Ģ020 Volvo V60 Cross Country | photo by Brian Wong Smoothed Out My experience driving the V60 Cross Country in that environment left me anxious to find out how it performs in a more conventional setting. That’s also why our first drive of the V60 Cross Country didn’t include any on-road driving: I drove it up a mountain instead. That’s why if you see the Cross Country in an advertisement, it’ll probably be out in the woods or snow, cavorting in nature.
The V60 Cross Country’s intended purpose is to imbue the V60 with more off-road capability. But the good news is that the latest of them, the redesigned 2020 Volvo V60 Cross Country, is quite good and an improvement upon the regular V60 wagon on which it’s based.

Versus the competition: Outside the Audi A4 Allroad, there aren’t any direct competitors. The verdict: The 2020 V60 Cross Country’s added ride height not only expands its off-road capability, it improves its on-road manners to make the wagon feel more luxurious.
