2025 Volvo V60 Cross Country
The 2025 Volvo V60 Cross Country takes the automaker's compact V60 wagon and adds a layer of rugged capability. Blending the utility of a crossover with the agility of a car, the V60 Cross Country appeals to buyers looking for a vehicle that can handle different driving scenarios with confidence and style.
With 8.1 inches of ground clearance and the ability to ford water up to 11.8 inches deep, this Volvo is ready for adventures that extend beyond the pavement.
Under the hood, a turbocharged engine and mild hybrid system balance performance and efficiency. The powertrain propels this wagon from 0 to 60 mph in a brisk 6.4 seconds while providing competitive fuel economy. Inside, the V60 Cross Country is roomy and well appointed, with seating for five. For 2025, Volvo has streamlined the trim lineup, updating the loaded Ultimate’s name to Ultra.
