The 2015 Volvo V60 Cross Country loves playing in the mud.

The 2015 Volvo V60 Cross Country loves to play in the dirt!  Adding the underpinnings of the beefier Volvo XC60 and a fifth-generation Haldex all-wheel-drive system will certainly allow for some off-road goodness.

Performance is impressive, as the 2015 Volvo V60 Cross Country is equipped with a turbocharged 250 HP, 2.5-L five-cylinder that makes 266 lb-ft of torque at 1,800 rpm. All four wheels are fed via a six-speed automatic transmission. This setup allows for a combined EPA-rated number of 23 mpg.
