![]() As long as you're not pushing it too hard, the V60 Cross Country feels agile and responsive through corners. When we tested the V60 Cross Country, we recorded a 60-mph time of 7.1 seconds. The Cross Country model is powered by a 250-hp turbocharged four-cylinder and comes with all-wheel drive. If the Polestar's performance just isn't for you, we won't judge you for choosing the Cross Country. Its ride is on the stiff side, but that's a compromise we're willing to make for the T8 powertrain's extra power and electric-only driving mode. We're partial to the racier Recharge T8 Polestar, which forgoes the Cross Country's lifted suspension and SUV styling cues for a more performance-oriented look. Volvo's new Google-based infotainment system has been added as well, which includes an updated interface to the car's digital gauge display and the central vertically-oriented touchscreen. The V60 and V60 Cross Country station wagons both receive a light styling refresh for 2023 that includes new wheels and reworked front and rear bumpers. If you need more room for cargo, the larger Volvo V90 Cross Country offers a similar luxo-wagon vibe-and luxury station wagons from other makers, such as the Audi A4 Allroad and Mercedes-Benz E-class All-Terrain, are worth a look too. Driving enthusiasts with distinct wagon tendencies will drool over the hottest Polestar Engineered model and its punchy 455-hp plug-in hybrid powertrain, but the base engine in the V60 Cross Country will likely be more than adequate for everyone else. Upscale exterior styling gives way to a luxe interior with ample tech features. If you’re mind conjures a dowdy image at the mention of the “w” word, know that the V60 models are anything but drab. We love wagons they ride lower to the ground, often weigh less than similarly sized SUVS, and tend to handle better-so they’re more fun to drive. ![]() For car buyers who want something larger than small hatchback but don't want to park an SUV in the garage, the 2023 Volvo V60 and V60 Cross Country are a rare pair of compact station wagons that can address that need.
