New Volvo V60 Cross Country takes the Swedish family crossover utility off the beaten path

Press release available only in original language. 

Volvo Cars, the premium car maker, today revealed the new Cross Country version of its V60. The rugged #v60crosscountry is the latest addition to the company’s line-up of brand new Volvos that underpins the company’s transformation in recent years.

Like its V60 sibling that was launched earlier this year on the driveway of a Stockholm villa, the #v60crosscountry personifies the versatile Swedish family #crossover utility vehicle. To that profile, it adds the capability on and off the beaten track that has defined Volvo’s Cross Country range since its introduction in 1997, taking the V60 from the suburb to the skogen (Swedish for forest).

“With the new #v60crosscountry, we take our Swedish family estate from one natural habitat to another,” said #hakansamuelsson, president and chief executive of #volvo Cars. “We invented the Cross Country segment over 20 years ago and with this car, we reinforce our long-standing pedigree in safe, capable and versatile family cars.”

Ground clearance for the #v60crosscountry is up to 75mm higher than the regular V60, thanks to the specially developed Cross Country chassis and suspension that enhance the car’s off-road capability. All-wheel-drive is standard on the new #v60crosscountry, as are Hill Descent Control, Electronic Stability Control, Corner Traction Control and a special Off-Road driving mode.
