Volvo wagons are a familiar sight near our Connecticut auto test track. From remarkably preserved 145 “bricks” to the modern-era V60, there’s a distinct feeling that Volvos are the official vehicle of the Northeastern landed gentry. But wagons haven’t been cool in a while. Many automakers—Volvo included—have elevated the ride height of their five-door vehicles into something vaguely resembling an SUV but without the off-road chops. Here we test Volvo’s latest mutation, the V60 Cross Country. (Video above showcases the V60. The extended V60 CC road test video is available on the model page.)
