Volvo’s been making jacked-up, off-road-oriented versions of its estate cars for years. But it’s never applied the big wheels ’n’ skidplates formula to a saloon before. (And nor has anyone else, for that matter.) Until now: say hello to the Volvo S60 Cross Country.

​

Yep, it's a cross country version of the S60. A great success or just a slightly less practical car than the XC70?

That would make a pretty good looking donk. It's already lifted.

Reminds me so much of the Nissan Qashqai, the previous gen one.

Kind of unwieldy next to an S60. Although compared to what BMW filled their compact crossover* slot with, this is a pageant-winner.


*They must be reeling after Volvo managed to fill a not-so-new niche before they could.

It looks like a lifted S60, which is great, if you want lifted S60, but not so great, if you want a standard height V70.

Seriously though, it's the first time, a car like this has been on sale in Nordic countries, and I'm excited to see how it'll sell here.

Oooh I want one.

Despite how close it treads to the X6/ZDX line visually, I like it massively more than any of those. Being more honest about what it is - a jacked-up sedan, not trying to hide behind the butched-up SUV styling draping the same mechanicals - does it wonders.
