Volvo has introduced its V60 Cross Country locally.

The CC hopes to bring the best of both worlds together – a sporty, connected yet comfortable driving experience with the freedom to explore new horizons.

The ground-clearance has been increased by 65mm compared to the standard V60 saloon and it offers 18- and 19-inch wheels with high-profile tyres. This should give it enough off-road ability to tackle the average gravel road, which should be more than enough for most customers in this segment.

In SA the Volvo V60 Cross Country is only available in AWD derivatives. Two five-cylinder turbocharged powertrains are available – one petrol and one diesel.

Prices start at R499 900.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
