2016 Volvo S60 Cross Country trims

2016 S60 Cross Country

The biggest news for 2016 is the availability of a S60 Cross Country sedan. Previously only available on wagon models, the Cross Country trim lifts the ride height by about two and a half inches, while adding all-wheel drive. This combination gives Volvo a vehicle type that few other companies can boast about having in their lineup: a sedan-style crossover. Plenty of people want a bit more off-road capability and ruggedness in their car but don't necessarily want a station wagon body style. They now have a great reason to be excited over Volvo's new offering.
