Volvo recently debuted the all-new V60 Cross Country, adding to the brand's compelling new models. The automaker is continuing its march forward with creating new, compelling vehicles that feature dramatic design and useful features, providing car shoppers with excellent quality and practicality. The newest member of the Cross Country lineup is the perfect option for people with active lifestyles who want to get through rugged territory, yet still drive with complete confidence in urban portions of the Ft. Meyers, Florida area. The vehicle comes with a high ground clearance that excels at climbing over difficult obstacles along a trail or plowing through deep snow, plus Haldex All-Wheel Drive for optimal traction no matter the conditions on a trail or road. There is even a Hill Descent Control feature that comes standard, helping tackle steep slopes without the usual risks.
The exterior look of the Volvo V60 Cross Country is decadently unique. The curved roof highlights the excellent interior space for occupants and gear, plus gives the vehicle a sleek and sporty look. Other elements of the exterior give off a rugged vibe and overall bold stance, such as the snub nose and widely flared front grille. The taillights come with the distinctly Volvo vertical design, making the vehicle easier to see from the rear in any weather condition.
Despite its rugged exterior, the interior provides occupants with plenty of creature comforts to keep them happy for hours on end. Everyone will be able to rest easy in the leather Sport seats, which are supportive yet provide just the right level of cushioning. They also feature large, contoured bolsters that hold occupants in place while the V60 Cross Country hugs tight corners. Every surfaces of the cabin is covered with premium materials, with an overall excellent construction shown in every detail, from the fine stitching on the seats to the premium door sill plates.
While the front seating area is large and luxurious, the rear seats are also an excellent place for traveling. Leg room in the rear measures 33.5 inches, while headroom in the back is excellent at 37.6 inches. Even the shoulder room almost matches the front seats at 55.2 inches. Not only can the V60 Cross Country carry up to five passengers in excellent comfort, it also has the ability to take along a healthy amount of cargo. In fact, the maximum capacity in the rear of the vehicle is a respectable 43.8 cubic feet.
One of the best features of the interior is the highly advanced Sensus infotainment system. It features highly intuitive menus that make using the technology a breeze, especially with the option to use the touch or voice controls. Users can use it to control the Harman Kardon sound system and the included music apps. Navigation is also part of the setup, and can be used remotely with a smartphone. The Volvo On Call app allows owners to use their smartphone to remote perform functions like locking or unlocking the doors, start the engine and heat or cool the interior, and even call for roadside assistance.
Powering the V60 Cross Country is a 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbocharged T5 engine. It puts out up to 250 horsepower at 5,400 rpm and 266 lb.-ft. of torque at 1,800 to 4,200 rpm, providing plenty of capability to tackle steep hills, streams, and any number of other obstacles both on and off the road. The engine works with a smooth-operating six-speed Geartronic automatic transmission, which provides quick gear changes at the optimal moment. The setup also allows for the towing of up to 3,500 pounds, meaning owners can take along a number of additional items on their journey.
