Volvo reveals rugged looking S60 Cross Country

In what can only be described as a strategically bold move, Volvo has revealed the S60 Cross Country – a vehicle which defines a whole new category of luxury sedans. Volvo says that this new model has the  same level of capability and rugged design cues of the brand’s Cross Country range of models.

Like the recently introduced V60 Cross Country, the S60 Cross Country shares an increased ride height of 65mm and comes with the same all-wheel drive underpinnings of its sibling, making it the only sedan based crossover in the global market . The vehicle will also be available with front-wheel drive in Europe and a few other markets.

The S60 Cross Country will be offered in the T5 all-wheel drive version with a powertrain delivering up to 250bhp. Volvo has made it official that the sedan- based crossover will be available for a limited period.  

“The S60 Cross Country is the sole contender in the luxury crossover sedan segment. We have identified a clear niche in the market for a more capable sedan with rugged styling cues and a higher stance. The S60 Cross Country will appeal to people who are searching for an exciting and capable sedan, whilst enjoying the clear benefits that a crossover offers,” said Alain Visser, Senior Vice President Sales, Marketing and Customer Service.
