About the 2019 Volvo V60 Cross Country

With an overall Carivo score of 7.4/10, the 2019 Volvo V60 Cross Country earns a Good rating among the wagons we've scored. Its strongest dimension is Safety at 9.0/10, while Performance at 6.6/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a capable but unexceptional wagon — stronger alternatives exist if you're willing to shop the segment carefully.

Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. Reliability comes in at 7.4/10 in our assessment — above the middle of the pack for this class, though not flawless. Safety is a strength too — 9.0/10 by our scoring. As with any car, verify the official ratings for your specific trim at nhtsa.gov/ratings.

Performance at 6.6/10 is a genuine liability and a score that should factor heavily into any buying decision. The powertrain and chassis dynamics trail class rivals by a meaningful margin — don't overlook it. Technology comes in at 7.2/10 — functional and modern, with wireless connectivity and core ADAS features, though some competitors pack more standard tech at this price point.

Priced from $40,247–$47,610, 22 MPG, seating 5, the Volvo V60 Cross Country sits in the mid-market bracket of the wagon segment. The value score of 6.6/10 is a red flag — comparable alternatives offer meaningfully more for the same outlay. Shop the segment before deciding. At 7 years old, resale value, parts availability, and whether a successor model has improved on its weak points are all worth investigating before committing.

Bottom line: There's a case for the 2019 Volvo V60 Cross Country, but it needs the right buyer. Its value and performance scores trail the class, and several higher-rated rivals sell for similar money — comparison-shop before committing.
