The new Volvo V60 Cross Country with all-road capabilities has its spec and prices revealed.
This is the impressive new generation of the Volvo V60 Cross Country which will boost the firm’s premium estate car range.
The Cross Country delivers all-road capabilities with improved ground clearance of 60 mm and permanent all-wheel drive fitted as standard.
There’s also an impressive off-road driving mode available as well to help deliver a sure-footed performance.
Growing numbers of manufacturers are offering these rugged estate cars for travelling across muddy fields and down country lanes so they have extra underbody protection plus a higher clearance.

The combined fuel economy for the Cross Country is 55 mpg with emissions of 135g/km.
That’s quite impressive for the permanent all-wheel drive feature and the extra weight and clearance the car offers.
The features include wheel arch extensions, a rear bumper with the Cross Country logo embossed on it and lower sill mouldings.
