Check out Nathan’s tandem interview with Volvo Brand Manager Joe Haslem and Product Manager Stefan Sallqvist to find out almost everything you ever wanted to know about the 2015 Volvo V60 Cross Country.

Analogous to the regular V60, the 2015 Volvo V60 Cross Country is a small wagon and accordingly features 43.8 cubic feet of total cargo space with the seats folded.  Still, the interior is a comfortable, tech-savvy place in which to spend your time.

The 2015 Volvo V60 Cross Country’s powertrain is the brand’s familiar 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.

Pricing for the 2015 Volvo V60 Cross Country starts at $41,000, which includes navigation (which comes standard throughout the line) and extra items which make the vehicle unique. These items include black fender extensions, 7.9-inches of ground clearance, skid plates, unique 18-inch wheels, side-sill scuff plates, unique honeycomb grill and black mirror caps. Fully loaded, the 2015 Volvo V60 Cross Country can retail around $50,000.
