The Volvo V60 Is an Amenity-Rich Luxury Wagon

Vehicle Overview

New into its second generation of production, the Volvo V60 is still ramping up on the updates to make it the wagon of choice. Larger wheels and digital instrumentation are now standard on the base-level Momentum trim, and the mid-level R-Design gets ambient lighting, quad-zone climate control, and a tailored dash. Joining the Momentum and R-Design trims is the top-tier Inscription. In addition, the V60 provides a "Cross Country" variant that has an increased ride height to provide increased undercarriage protection, as well as a standard all-wheel-drive system. Ultimately, the Volvo V60 is loaded with enough amenities to make for a very comfortable and convenient driving experience.

Performance

The V60 has the popular Volvo T5 powertrain setup, which consists of a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine with 250 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque glued to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard on the wagon, although you can go with the Cross Country variant with its standard all-wheel drive for increased traction performance. With the regular T5 configuration, fuel economy is estimated at 23 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway. In addition, the V60 has a maximum towing capacity of 2,000 lbs.

Interior

The Volvo V60 has two textile-trimmed rows that seat up to five people. The front seats have 10-way power adjustability with 2-way power lumbar support, and the rear seatback can fold down to expand standard cargo space from 23.2 cubic feet to a maximum of 60.5 cubic feet. A leather-wrapped steering wheel is also standard.

Since the R-Design is the sport-oriented trim, it has racing-style seats enforced with a blend of textile material with Nappa leather upholstery. In addition, both seats are upgraded to 4-way power lumbar support, and the front passenger seat has a positioning memory system. Exclusive on the Inscription are leather seats and driver-side memory.

Comfort and Convenience

For infotainment, the Volvo V60 has Sensus Connect integration, which includes a 10-speaker 330-watt stereo system with AM/FM radio, Bluetooth hands-free phone calling and audio streaming, two USB ports for hooking up mobile devices, HD Radio technology, a trial subscription to SiriusXM Radio, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration, and a 9-inch touchscreen navigation with voice-activated technology. Other standard comfort and convenience features include cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 12.3-inch digital driver display, an automatic-dimmed rearview mirror, and an intelligent driver information system. And there's four complementary years of Volvo On Call service for a wide range of remote functions. In addition to the aforementioned quad-zone automatic climate control, the R-Design gets a garage-door opener and a 14-speaker 600-watt Harman Kardon stereo system. A power moonroof is exclusive to the Inscription.

Safety

Driver-assistance tech on the Volvo V60 consists of collision mitigation support, lane-keeping assist, road departure mitigation, lane departure warning, oncoming collision mitigation, forward collision warning, traffic sign recognition, forward automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian detection. The wagon's airbag system consists of a driver's knee airbag, two frontal impact airbags, two side impact airbags, and two side curtain airbags. Other standard safety features include hill start assist, a rearview camera with rear parking sensors, and a theft-deterrent system with a panic alarm. Added on the R-Design and Inscription is a blind-spot information system with rear cross-traffic alert, as well as front parking sensors to enhance the rearview camera's functionality.
