2015 Volvo V60 Cross Country T5

The V60 Cross Country is Volvo's lifted wagon, blending the practicality of a wagon with the stance of an SUV. It handles like a car, not a truck, with a composed feel that makes daily driving genuinely enjoyable. Inside, you get a clean, Scandinavian cabin with comfortable seats and a generous cargo area behind the rear seats. The T5 is the base trim for the V60 Cross Country; the T5 Platinum adds leather and a few more luxury features, but this one keeps the same capable all-wheel-drive wagon character for less money. Its 2.5L I5 makes 250 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque, routed through a six-speed automatic to all-wheel drive, which gives it a willing, relaxed feel on the highway and sure-footed traction in bad weather. Fuel economy is 23 mpg combined, and the raised suspension means you get a bit more ground clearance than a standard wagon without losing the car-like handling.
