Test Drive: Volvo V60 is the Goldilocks Wagon
Shrinking the V90 design, but maintaining its integrity
Wagon enthusiasts will rejoice when Volvo’s latest model hits dealerships this year, especially now that there’s more of it to enjoy. The 2019 Volvo V60 mid-size wagon flaunts a significantly larger footprint than the outgoing version. Measuring nearly five inches longer, the second-generation model gets two more inches of legroom and a larger trunk that can accommodate a quartet of carry-on roller cases side by side. Most importantly, the new design is a clear derivative of the gorgeous, but larger V90—distinctive shape and proportions are maintained.
The V60 T5 and T6 start at $38,900 and $43,400, respectively, but are also available through the manufacturer’s subscription program, Care by Volvo. A more rugged wagon, the V60 Cross Country, will launch later this year featuring a higher ground clearance and tougher cladding for outdoor adventures. All V60 models are built to order at Volvo’s factory in Ghent, Belgium.
