The new all-terrain wagon Volvo B60 Cross Country is officially presented on September 25, 2018 on the eve of the world premiere. In our review of the Volvo V60 Cross Country 2019-2020 - photos and videos, price and configuration, technical characteristics of a station wagon raised above the road with 210 mm ground clearance, standard all-wheel drive and a plastic protective suit along the lower perimeter of the body. The novelty by default is a brother of the usual one, presented in the spring of 2018 at the Geneva Motor Show.

Production of the new Volvo V60 Cross Country will start at the end of 2018 at the Torslanda plant in Gothenburg, Sweden. Acceptance of orders for the "sixty" with a station wagon body and a Cross Country attachment in Europe opens in early 2019 price from 52,350 euros for a diesel Volvo V60 Cross Country D4 AWD (190-horsepower turbo diesel, 8 automatic transmissions and four-wheel drive). It is gratifying that, unlike the usual Volvo V60 station wagon, the sales of which are not planned in Russia, the elevated Volvo V60 Cross Country station wagon will appear on the Russian market, and possibly in the spring of 2019.

It is immediately necessary to find and point out the differences between the usual V60 station wagon and the V60 Cross Country version:

• firstly, it is, of course, increased ground clearance by as much as 75 mm to an impressive figure of 210 mm;
• secondly, a powerful plastic body kit around the body of the "sixty" Cross Country, which protects the lower parts of the front and rear bumpers, the edges of the wheel arches and sills from minor damage when driving off-road;
• thirdly, the rear bumper is additionally equipped with a powerful protective chrome plate and bifurcated tailpipes of the exhaust system, displacing the trapezoidal tailpipes of a conventional station wagon;
• fourthly, the off-road wagon is standardly equipped with 18-inch rims with 215/55 R18 tires (for a surcharge, larger 19-20 inch wheels with 235/45 R19 and 245/40 R20 tires, respectively).

These are details that can be easily noticed during an external examination of the body of the novelty. However, there are a lot of other improvements invisible to the eye. At the heart of the all-terrain Volvo V60 Cross Country is the modular SPA platform, akin to the novelty not only with the brothers - the Volvo V60 station wagon and, but also with crossovers and, as well as with larger Volvo models - and an all-terrain station wagon.

Thus, with an eye on the older brother of the Volvo V90 Cross Country, which has received a lot of chassis modifications compared to a conventional 90-series station wagon, we can say with 100% probability that the Volvo V60 Cross Country's suspension has been significantly improved compared to the Volvo V60 station wagon chassis.

The all-terrain station wagon is equipped with original springs, shock absorbers and stabilizers, capable of providing a comfortable and stable behavior of the car on any type of road with different surfaces. Adaptive dampers and air suspension are offered for a surcharge. In the presence of AWD all-wheel drive and Off-Road mode, prescribed in the settings of the driving electronics.

The five-seater saloon of the Volvo V60 Cross Country station wagon, raised above the road, exactly repeats the interior decoration of the usual Volvo V60 station wagon in expensive trim levels. The standard interior of the "sixty" Cross Country with a combined trim of seats with fabric and artificial leather (for a surcharge, full leather trim of the seats is offered), a virtual instrument panel, an advanced multimedia complex Volvo Cars "Sensus Connect infotainment system with a 9.5-inch color touch screen (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Wi-Fi, CleanZone 4-zone climate control), comfortable seats for the driver and front passenger (electric drive, heating, ventilation, massage).

By default, the car is equipped with an automatic braking system with the function of detecting pedestrians, cyclists and animals. As an option, Pilot Assist is provided, operating at speeds up to 130 km / h (the car independently keeps in the lane and will not allow you to leave the oncoming lane or on the side of the road), as well as an automatic braking system, which is activated when an obstacle is detected in cross-traffic when crossing intersections.

There is a rather voluminous niche under the traditional "floating" center console

It is strange that the second generation of the S60 / V60 family acquired the Cross Country modification only in the seventh year of its life, when, it would seem, an update is just around the corner. But, despite the age of the "donor", the newcomer looks fresh and organic: an additional 6.5 cm of ground clearance, however, as well as several elements made of unpainted plastic, clearly came to the face of the sixty. As if it was these touches that the V60 lacked to complete harmony of its appearance!

Although, of course, you cannot hide the years: the interior, for example, will appeal to a retrograde rather than a progressive user. I may approve of the lack of touch controls, but in general there are comments on ergonomics: control of the on-board computer on the steering column switch, four equal-sized rounds for climate control, media system and music on the center console and a not very intelligible multimedia menu - all this somewhat confuses confused. However, the merits of the Cross Country clearly prevail.

The back row, although you cannot call it very spacious, is generally very comfortable

Four-wheel drive in the case of a station wagon is here for a surcharge, but we came across the most "tasty" equipment - with a turbodiesel, all-wheel drive transmission and a classic 6-speed automatic. It is noteworthy that a 5-cylinder turbodiesel, as well as an all-wheel drive, is not offered for the "usual" sixty. And in vain, because in such a combination the V60 played with new colors, having acquired, in addition to practicality, several driver notes. The engine, not only is economical (in the combined cycle I got 8-9 liters per hundred), has a pleasant velvet baritone and excellent traction.

It is cozy inside, but still conservative - the interior of Vol'vov has not changed much since 2010

And the four-wheel drive "starts" even more! "Haldex" of the fifth generation, even with the stabilization system not disabled, from the heart throws momentum to the rear axle, forcing the V60 to playfully wriggle aft on the ice. But all this, of course, is within reasonable limits - after all, we are in Volvo. But when the "collar" is turned off, the Cross Country transforms even more: under the gas discharge, it goes into a skid with a thrill, and under the addition actively develops it. An excellent device for those who like to skim through the snow in long slides - the XC60 and XC70, similar in cost and construction, are clearly inferior in terms of drive.

Even with a very dynamic driving, fuel consumption is within the range of 8-9 liters per hundred

However, safety is still above all - I was convinced of this personally at the end of the test drive, having got into a very indicative accident. It was on Friday evening, on the last section of the M4-Don highway at the entrance to Moscow, literally 5 km from the Moscow Ring Road. The last remaining piece of the route, in contrast to the kilometers traveled earlier, was not treated with reagents, which is why it was covered with an even and high-quality layer of ice. Well, what's wrong - for the first time or what? Judging by the concentration of accidents, for many such a turn of the elements came as a surprise, including for the silver Solaris, which dived exactly to the left side of the still virgin V60 body. Later, the driver of the silver fighter admitted to the traffic police that he was first carried into the bump stop, and only then into the innocent Volvo. It has long been known that it is impossible to avoid such cases. Another thing is noteworthy - how "Volvo" calmly maintained its trajectory and direction of movement, not to mention the integrity of the cabin cage. All-wheel drive, the stabilization system, and a well-thought-out body structure helped here. Well done, Volvo, well done! I was lucky this time with the traffic police officer: “Guys, how many times do I repeat, get out of the road! To hell with her, with the car, the main thing is to stay alive! Just now the same victim in an accident walked along the side of the road next to the accident, did not have time to recover, and he was hit by another uncontrolled car ... Step aside, I beg you! "

Ground clearance allows you to park safely at curbs. You don't have to worry about the bumper: it is located high enough.

Two hours after the incident and filling out the certificates, we were going to disperse, and, as if according to a script, I did not have time to open the door when another "fighter pilot" flies into the rear bumper of the V60 - the driver of the second "Focus", who also lost control. Fortunately, my friend and I managed to jump back in time. "And what am I talking about!" - summed up the inspector.

All in all, despite the incident, and to some extent thanks to it, the V60 CC left the best impressions of itself: it is still a safe Swedish car, whose already good character was pleasantly diversified by all-wheel drive, which made the V60 even more interesting. in management. A car almost devoid of any significant flaws! Although there is one "but": the price of the V60 CC is close to the older brother of the XC 60, and knowing the mores of our buyer, we can assume that he would rather prefer the one that is bigger and more impressive out of the two options.

The backrest of the rear seat consists of three parts and folds in a 40:20:40 ratio

In the course of the test, an unplanned crash test took place: on the ice-covered area of \u200b\u200bthe M-4 "Don" the station wagon was "hit" by a dull tinted Solaris, which at speed skidded first into the bump stop and then into the innocent V60. "Volvo" bravely endured the blow of fate, fully retaining control over itself.

After a hard hit on the left side, the V60 retained both its trajectory and body integrity.

Driving A naughty diesel engine, four-wheel drive and a downed chassis make the V60 a real combat wagon Salon Passengers are immersed in an atmosphere of quality, comfort and safety, but the ergonomics of the pilot's seat is not for everybody. Comfort The suspension is energy intensive, but sometimes a little harsh on rough road junctions Safety Both passive and active safety have been thought out. Checked on myself Price For the same price, you can buy a crossover of similar sizes, but is it necessary? Average score

Verdict

So reckless in management and at the same time utilitarian Volvo should definitely be in demand in our market: there are no competitors. However, buyers have been dashingly lured to the booming crossover segment, the size of which automakers are only increasing. Maybe in vain?

As expected, the Swedes did not postpone the debut of the "raised" version of the Volvo V60 station wagon. However, we can talk about the elevation without any irony, because the declared clearance of the Cross Country modification is 210 mm - 75 mm more than that of. The developers promised the same figure for the larger model Volvo V90 Cross Country, and the reality turned out to be only slightly worse: in the “ninety” station wagon, the bottom point of the bottom is 200 mm from the ground.

The company does not go into details, however, using the V90 Cross Country model as an example, it is easy to estimate the amount of improvements: the older brother, for the harmonious joint work of springs, shock absorbers, stabilizers and tires on any type of surface, compared with the "civilian" version, had about 200 characteristics changed chassis. And both station wagons are based on the same modular SPA platform.

In addition to the plastic body kit, the Volvo V60 Cross Country has only four-wheel drive and Off-Road mode in the drive electronics settings: more torque is transmitted to the rear wheels, the hill descent assistant is activated, the steering wheel becomes lighter, and the gas response is softer. In addition, the "sixty" "in the base" has an automatic braking system with the functions of recognizing pedestrians, cyclists and large (larger than a dog) animals.

For a surcharge, the car can be equipped with a semi-autonomous Pilot Assist system, operating at speeds up to 130 km / h. On roads with discernible markings, it steers within the lane, preventing it from going to the oncoming lane or the side of the road: moreover, like in the base "sixty", the algorithm has been adjusted in favor of more accurate cornering. Another legacy option is the automatic braking system when detecting obstacles from the side at an intersection.

The Volvo V60 Cross Country will be equipped with the same two-liter turbo fours as other soplatform models. At the moment, two modifications have been announced: the T5 (250 hp) and D4 (190 hp) versions will be the first to enter the market. The only intrigue is whether the younger Cross Country will have hybrid versions of the T6 Twin Engine AWD (340 hp) and T8 Twin Engine AWD (390 hp), available for the usual "sixty".

However, Volvo still has enough time to talk about the details: production at the Torslanda plant in Gothenburg, Sweden will begin in winter, and the start of accepting orders in Europe is expected in early 2019. Volvo's Moscow office told Autoreview that the V60 Cross Country will certainly appear in Russia, but the exact dates have not yet been determined.

5 / 5 ( 1 voice)

When November 2014 came, the Volvo car company decided to present at the Los Angeles Motor Show an off-road unit version of the B60 station wagon, which acquired the already standard Cross Country prefix to its name.

April 2015 became special for the Russian market, as the car reached us, after which orders began to be accepted. Already many people know that sometimes on the platform of some of their cars, some firms produce something new.

For example, from the most standard hatchbacks, they produce compact crossovers, from the station wagon version - almost full-fledged SUVs. Therefore, Volvo decided to keep up with the release of a car based on the V60 station wagon. The whole volvo model range.

Exterior

When the B60 station wagon first came out, a large number of specialized media, along with critics and experts, considered it one of the most stylish and attractive in its own category. And this is a well-deserved high ball.

Therefore, the Swedish specialists only have to take a good foundation and make every effort so as not to spoil it in the process of restructuring into a crossover. To our delight, everything went well and soundly with them.

Volvo V60 Cross Country

Yes, the car retained the presence of elegance, dynamics of lines, impetuous image, however, it received new body elements that make you look at the car in a new way. The nose part is decorated with a wide mouth of a false radiator grill with a mesh, the shape of which resembles a honeycomb.

The traditional nameplate of the company from Sweden remained in its place. Engineers have equipped the car with large head optics, bi-xenon and LED filling, which brings its charm to the exterior of the car, a long powerful hood, which successfully connects with an equally massive bumper installed in front, and is complemented by aerodynamic elements, as well as sections for fog strips, which were made of LED lamps.

Volvo V60 Cross Country side view

Generally speaking, the front of the Volvo V60 Cross Country car looks very cool and even bold. Embossed stampings can be seen on the bonnet. The side part looks elegant. There is a continuation of the adaptation of the car to the features of a small SUV.

This is noticeable in body kits, plastic protections for the edges of the wheel arches, large light-alloy wheel rims, the size of which can be 18 and 19 inches. There is also the presence of large doors, high glazing, powerful housings of external rear-view mirrors, LED turn signals, an impressive roof and other things that actually make it possible to evaluate the Volvo B60 Cross Country not as a station wagon, but as an almost real crossover.

Volvo V60 Cross Country rear view

The rear of the car has a large, comfortable tailgate, chrome elements, a beautifully executed exhaust system and protection that allows you to safely overcome even difficult road sections.

Honestly, the aft part of the Volvo makes it possible to find a lot in common not only with the station wagon version, on the platform of which Cross Country was designed, but also with the C60 sedan version, which company also decided to rebuild into a sedan with a SUV, producing the C60 Cross Country version.

Volvo V60 Cross Country front view

The car creates the feeling of a very stylish and somewhat sophisticated crossover. This is not a classic SUV designed for the frequent off-road and bumpy roads of our country. Despite the fact that he acquired body kits, plastic door sills, and a slightly lowered plastic edge on the front bumper, this is only for decorative purposes.

Volvo V60 Cross Country car

Such protection will not have a practical effect, however, with the help of impressive ground clearance, the lower part of the car will be preserved. Remained unchanged, except that the large red and white taillights, which were created in the corporate style.

The latter also touch the rear walls of the body. The black plastic bumper has a brushed metal decorative strip.

Dimensions

The novelty of the Swiss automobile production is presented in the following overall dimensions: in length, the station wagon is 4 638 mm, in width 1 899 mm, in height 1 545 mm, wheelbase is 2 774 mm.

The height of the ground clearance turned out to be solid, as much as 201 mm, which will greatly delight the domestic motorists of our country. The station wagon version had only a modest 136 mm of ground clearance. The curb weight of the machine ranges from 1,712 0 1,836 kg.

Interior

The interior of the Cross Country off-road car fully copies the existing one in the B60 model, where everything looks simple, stylish, functional and expensive. When you get inside the car for the first time, you reluctantly highlight the excellent quality of any details, buttons and stitches.

The materials used for the finishes are just fine. If there is plastic, then it is soft even where competitors use cheaper, hard ones. The fittings were just perfect, the gaps between the joints are the smallest, and any button not only looks expensive, but is pressed with a “family” pleasant effort.

Interior Volvo V60 Cross Country

The front-mounted panel is minimalist, which is slightly diluted by the unique "floating" console installed in the center. The dashboard adjusts and changes according to the mood, and all displayed information is read out at lightning speed, with the help of which the driver is not distracted for a long time from driving on the road.

The seats installed in front can be confidently called exemplary, because they have the optimal ratio of density, girth and softness. There is good lateral support that can keep a person in an optimal position when entering tight turns at high speed.

Photo of the salon Volvo V60 Cross Country

It is possible for any person to fit behind the steering wheel of a car without any special problems, no matter what his configuration and height. This was achieved thanks to the large number of seat and steering wheel settings. The steering wheel itself has an optimal diameter and has a slightly convex section, which makes it feel like the steering wheel is "poured".

The seats installed in the back are not devoid of comfort and provide the opportunity to comfortably sit for three people, but there is not much free space in the Volvo B60 Cross Country station wagon. And the transmission tunnel passing along the floor will cause discomfort for the passenger sitting in the center.

Luggage compartment Volvo V60 Cross Country

The luggage compartment is not a record, but it provides about 430 liters of usable space. However, this is not all, if necessary, you can increase the amount of useful space by folding the backrests of the rear seats, which are divided not into a pair, but into 3 sections, which causes a separate feeling of gratitude.

Therefore, in order to transport a lengthy vehicle, you do not need to drop all passengers. It's nice that the car has decorative elements such as wood and polished metal.

Specifications

The Swedish-made off-road vehicle comes with two diesel engines and a single gasoline engine. The base variant is said to be a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged diesel that develops 150 horsepower at 4,250 rpm.

More powerful units come in the form of a 5-cylinder turbocharged 2.4-liter engine that produces about 190 horsepower at 4,000 rpm.

The most powerful unit is a direct injection 5-cylinder 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine. It accelerates to 249 horses at 5,400 rpm.

All power units of the B60 Cross Country version, from Volvo, are synchronized with an uncontested automatic 6 and 8-speed gearbox, which, together with the base 2.0-liter version, transmits torque to the front wheels, and all "senior" ones to two axles, since there is already an all-wheel drive transmission with a Haldex clutch, which is located in the rear axle.

From the technical point of view, the SUV is unified with the unpretentious Volvo B60, where the Ford EUCD architecture is present. There you can find the presence of independent suspensions "in a circle".

The vehicle is steered by means of an electric power steering. The braking system is represented by the presence of full disc brakes, which are complemented by a ventilation option on the front wheels.

Safety

It's no secret that safety is absolutely the main "trick" of all Volvo cars, which Swedish specialists and engineering staff devote the most hours.

Therefore, the Cross Country station wagon has the IntelliSafe system, which is designed to protect not only those who are sitting in the car itself, but also those who are outside it. Among this, we can highlight the presence of automatic detection of pedestrians and motorists.

IntelliSafe system

Separately, I would like to say about the CitySafety system, which is able to prevent collisions with other cars when driving in a high-speed mode that does not exceed 50 km / h. In addition, the car uses the services of tracking the condition of the driver, monitors the "blind" zones and is able to warn the driver about moving cars in the intersecting direction.

CitySafety system

This allows you to more reliably leave a tight place in the parking lot, even if the driver is as limited in his view. It is already customary that the new Volvo V60 Cross Country comes with a stabilization system, anti-lock brakes, directional stability, seat belts with pretensioners, and ISOFIX child anchorages.

Summing up

Summing up the car, only pleasant sensations remain. For this, we should thank the Volvo company, which did a great job. The design of the exterior of the car turned out to be pleasant, modern, sporty, but at the same time stylish. There is both bixenon and LED lighting, which is very popular nowadays.

All this suggests that the Swiss do not want to lag behind advanced technologies, on the contrary, they are confidently moving forward. The hood received beautiful and bright stampings. The side part has solid wheel arches, where you just want to put large alloy wheel rims. The stern has a large luggage compartment door.

2016 Volvo V60 Cross Country

The salon, although it migrated from the station wagon version and has nothing new, looks great. Everything is very high quality and expensive. The build level, as always, is at its best. There is a comfortable and versatile steering wheel, a nice dashboard, a center console, which is topped with a color screen. It's nice to have a tree, which gives a certain status.
