The Volvo S60 cross country is coming next spring with both four-wheel drive and only two-wheel drive, and there will also be a choice of two powerful engines, one on each side.
Volvo surprised with the news that they will be in Detroit show serial version named S60 cross country, which will mean an off-road-inspired crossover between a sedan and a SUV. As a basis, the Swedes took the classic sedan S60 and dedicated it to it 165 millimeter ground clearance, slightly strengthened the lower part of the body and "voila", the sub-segment of off-road sedans is born.
The S60 cross country shares most of its components with the aforementioned model, but not that many field reinforcements, even though for greater consistency and according to field tradition, slightly different ends of the sills were given to it. There are also differences in the appearance of the front and rear bumpers, which have been given an off-road finish and thus a more dry appearance, and part of the standard equipment are also 18-inch rims with tires with a slightly higher profile, to fight less crowded roads and carriageways.
