2016 Volvo V60 Cross Country

About 2016 Volvo V60 Cross Country With its all-road, all-weather driving capability, distinctive design and sophisticated safety and connectivity features the V60 represents the next generation of Volvo's acclaimed Cross Country line. Combining the traditional Volvo wagon virtues of comfort, safety and utility plus sporty style, increased ground clearance and charisma, the 2016 V60 Cross Country is designed with a sense of purpose and freedom, reflecting active lifestyles while providing sporty control and adventure for drivers. Volvo's designers artfully crafted the Cross Country by applying signature design cues to the solid foundation of the V60 wagon. These elements combine to give the V60 Cross Country a look that captures the hearts of drivers longing to "go anywhere" while attracting a new generation of customers to the Volvo family. To endow the V60 Cross Country with the ability to traverse roads off the beaten track, Volvo's engineers increased its ground clearance by 2.6 inches for a total ground clearance of 7.9 inches. Offered in two well-equipped models, the V60 T5 AWD Cross Country and V60 T5 AWD Cross Country Platinum are powered by Volvo's signature 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbocharged engine that produces 250 horsepower and 266 lb.-ft. of torque at 1,800-4,200 rpm. This engine is mated to an efficient six-speed "Geartronic" driver adaptive automatic transmission with Sport Mode. Volvo's electronically controlled All-Wheel Drive with Instant Traction is standard providing the best possible grip in all situations -- on wet, slippery or completely dry roads. The advanced AWD system delivers power to the wheels with the best grip. Hill Descent Control uses the vehicle's brakes and engine torque to crawl in bottom gear on steep downhill slopes. This makes it possible for the driver to focus completely on driving when descending steep hills.
