Our scoring places the 2023 Volvo V60 Cross Country at 7.7/10 overall, which translates to a Recommended rating for this wagon. Its strongest dimension is Safety at 9.0/10, while Performance at 7.1/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a solid all-rounder that delivers across most dimensions without obvious deal-breakers.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. We score reliability at 7.7/10 — better than most direct rivals, if short of the segment's best. The 9.0/10 safety score puts it near the top of the class on this dimension; the official trim-level results at nhtsa.gov are worth a final check.
Performance scores 7.1/10 — competent for everyday use. Acceleration and handling are adequate for commuting and highway driving, though enthusiasts will want to look at higher-rated alternatives. Tech rates a reasonable 7.4/10: the essentials are covered and well executed, but rivals at the same price often include more as standard.
Priced from $45,929–$55,539, 26 MPG, seating 5, the Volvo V60 Cross Country sits in the premium tier of the wagon category. The 7.1/10 value score says the pricing is fair rather than generous; cross-shop the segment before signing anything. At 3 years old, it's worth checking whether a newer generation or refresh has addressed any weaker dimensions — compare it to the current model year before buying.
Our take: The 2023 Volvo V60 Cross Country is a solid, well-rounded wagon that covers the essentials without obvious deal-breakers. For most buyers in this segment, it's a safe, dependable choice.
