Image gallery: 2016 Volvo S60 Cross Country road test review
The Volvo S60 Cross Country is almost here, and in many ways it was made for our rather demanding Indian conditions (read our road test review here). The first things you'll notice are the increase in ride height, the new scuff plates and new wheels, all of which give it a rather SUV-like stance. Step inside however, and it feels like a sedan as it retains the standard Volvo S60's layout. Powering the Volvo S60 Cross Country is the same 2.4-litre 5-cylinder turbo-charged diesel engine from the sedan. This motor has been detuned to produce 190PS of power and 420Nm of torque instead of the 215PS and 440Nm that it makes in the sedan. India will get just the Inscription variant which, along with all the safety features and equipment seen in the sedan, gets all-wheel drive as standard. This system mostly drives the front wheels and sends power to the rear only when it detects a loss of traction. The 201mm of ground clearance meanwhile, works very well for India. However, Volvo has stiffened the suspension to keep body roll in check, which gives the Volvo S60 Cross Country a bumpy ride.
Here's the image gallery from our road test that will give a thorough look at the Volvo S60 Cross Country.
