Is the 2024 Volvo V60 Cross Country a BETTER wagon than an Audi A6 Allroad?

The V60 Cross Country is Volvos's classic wagon. On the outside you will discover full LED lighting, optional wheels and roof rails. On the inside you will be greeted by a leather interior and 9in infotainment system. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission.

I would say the V60’s true competition is the Audi A4 Allroad, and the V90 is the true competition to the A6 Allroad and the Mercedes Benz e class wagon too

[@ChrisEnnis-m4x]

Yeah, pretty obvious miss on this. Also when talking about the engine he was making a comparison to the A6 Allroad, which has a 3.0 V6 turbo. Mentions the 4 cylinder in both the Volvo and Subaru Outback, then says “same thing with the Audi.” Huh?

[@all_roads_europe]

exactly, also I am not sure if volvo is the best choice if you use the vehicle in long term period...

[@speedyninetyone]

Save the wagons!

[@AndreRappsilber]

The Volvo V60 Cross Country is not comparable to the Audi A6 Allroad, but rather to the Audi A4 Allroad. The Audi A6 is in the same league as the Volvo V90 Cross Country.

[@DavidRiedel-d7z]

I have a 2022 V60. Outstanding build quality, comfort, and handling. The Subaru is not in the same league, no matter how nice it is. Would def buy it again.

[@rickjames6867]

The Volvo looks really good. Thanks for showcasing this sometimes overlooked underappreciated brand. This is a good choice for those who want to be outside the BMW or Audi club. I find Volvo to be an interesting and quality brand that still manages to be unique these days.

[@aubandjoe1778]

volvo & quality.... hmm.... maybe from someone whop owns an audi

[@BTSD9]

Volvo has some of the nicest looking vehicles

[@fadd6895]

to bad there are no human rights in China .

[@PaNativ]

As someone who was born in 1972, and whom is the oldest of 3 boys, I will say that I never had to worry about the center rear seat as it was always the youngest child that had to sit “on the hump”…. Am I right? Where are my other Gen Xers to back me up?

[@TheSpeedDemon64]

Ooh, I like this Volvo! I think this has my vote over the Audi A6 Allroad

[@PaNativ]

I have a 2024 XC60 B5 Ultimate Dark with 21” wheels and love it! Great fit and finish, quality materials, nice drive and I love the interior. The leather is soft and smells amazing.

[@BIGB347]

Anymore wagon videos coming out soon Joe? Are you disappointed Volvo killed off the Volvo s60 sedan? In Europe wagons are loved and respected but in America it’s SUVs over sedan/wagons in America it’s backwards 🙄.

[@davidcarroll8735]

Paid off my 2019 Forester - keeping it in the family, and I’ll miss that 1.3% rate!; Love it, but considering a Volvo lease when the rates improve. Great review as always!

[@RasimH1982]

Sweden vs Germany vs Japan

[@jkandybar]

Man, I feel like that interior and infotainment has been around for way too long.

[@dominickirkwood]

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍

[@mickeybrumfield764]

I might spend 10k more for the Volvo over an Outback if I wasn't going to be taking it off-road too much.

[@magnoliap5824]

Dang, sweet wagon! I’m guessing lower trims are less expensive. Even I overlooked this one!

[@peg38]

VOLVO say what ? Joey Macaroni Italian brother to tony macaroni - what ya doin' ? how you guys enjoying your weekend ? been swimming any ? other than in humid soupy sweat ? hahahaha. a WAGON ? ya know I loves me some wagons, stabbin' wagons (goofy face) love ya.

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

Love your cars video Joe

[@mdatpe]

Are u left foot braking? My dad drove like that. I have friends in Taiwan with this car it’s soooo awesome in red

[@theirthereandtheyre2947]

Looks similar to a VW Jetta Sportwagen

[@LuisUrbieta]

Nice Volvo v60 Cross country Joe I think this is a peek of an suv.

[@mattpellicano7184]

The technology in the Volvo models is far superior to most anything else around. For everyone that thinks they need to dig into the infotainment system to change settings is wrong. The car has google assistant and almost everything in the car can be voice changed. Joe never mentions that feature... You never really have to touch the screen, and it's pretty accurate when engaged by voice. The models of its competition with the info screens that stick up above the dashboard line are way outdated and look it....the Volvo interiors are sleek and modern..and yes I Own the XC60....just my opinion...

[@JulezWinnfield]

I'm glad to see Joe use his turn signals during the driving segment. I bet he didn't know Volvo recorded the sound of a Swedish fir tree branch being snapped to create the turn signal sound. Volvo fun fact of the day.

[@CraigNelson-yw6xx]

Literally one the best side view Driver Seat sporty comfortability I've seen. The seat is low, back of seat slanted perfectly and steering wheel high and not cramping your knees....not to mention that door design is so sleek and premium it's a design language of its own. Ford knows a good brand. Just think Ford owned Volvo and Mazda and look how far those brand have come and their successful longevity. Yes. Better than a BMW.

[@pmiahky]

This is a sleeper. A good friend has this. It stays planted and is peppy. Quiet cabin. The B&W in that is PHENOMENAL. Even better than the ELS 3D. Absolutely destroys the Subaru and competes well with the Krauts

[@bennettc419]

The design inside and out screams 2015.

[@gordonmills2748]

If they wanna make this like the wagons when I was growing up, it needs a back facing third row with ashtrays in the armrests! But seriously, Volvo's wagon game is on point.

[@jasondickens9003]

Volovo,s styling inside and out is still beautiful. It’s really a shame that Volvo never offered an upgraded engine over the 4cyl. Some of thes best Volvo ever built had 5 cylinder turbo engines. This would hav been amazing in package like this. By the Joe when you sit in the rear can you adjust the front seat to your setting then sit behind yourself so folks can get a good idea of the real room that exists from behind. Thanks

[@Larry77777]

V60 Cross Country is a great wagon. Got my 2017 in 2020 and with 5 years driving it, I especially love its versatility and comfort.

[@adamstrachn]

Love me some wagons! I really miss the Magnum SRT8 run. This Volvo looks great. Recognizable, sleek, modern and slightly aggressive. A very attractive wagon. Killer video Raiti's Ride team!

[@ahome8089]

I had a 2020 V90 Cross Country, which I loved. I now have a 2023 S90, which is great. Super plush and comfy, but there’s just something about a wagon that I miss. I got so many compliments on it too!

[@islanddon865]

No doubt, she's a beauty! Beats the crap outta the Pacifica.😂

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219]

Yes of course Joe & I want this vehicle badly.

[@davidp2888]

The name's longer than the car itself! If I were in the market for a wagon, this would be on my short list.

[@REAPEROFTOES]

And what a short list it must be (I wish we got more wagons in the states)

[@donkedic1]

My short list was literally the Outback vs V60CC. I ended up with the CC, after watching unbiased AWD slip test videos. And of course Volvos have the thickest B-pillars in the market. German wagons were purposely off my radar.

[@donkedic1]

But the V90CC is actually closer to the size of the Outback.

[@nikolaig1]

You follow corey wayne loser😂😂😂😂😂

[@pigman117]

another tablet with a car. Wtf is with no physical ac?

[@tomdrummy4984]

Did I miss the Swedish Twinkie storage ? 🙃

[@railzip]

Brace for the hurricane!

[@fdigby]

Thanks for the review Joe and the filming Steve - got myself one! The Outback doesn't match the Scandi design and polish - the fully integrated infotainment screen with nothing sticking out above the dash is pure style. There's only one engine choice / model here in Oz now and sadly I'll have to add the tow bar (hitch) as an aftermarket.

[@Thebusdriverandgamermorefan790]

Amazing review Joe.

[@george-ng5gj]

I think I’ll stick with the Outback for an off roadie wagon to use and abuse as a family car. You’ll have enough left over to buy a Miata for fun.

[@Splendid_Lad]

This review is about a true wagon… not a bloated plastic cladded wannabe SUV.

[@princevashishth9831]

back to back wagon 😮 🙌

[@d1d2h1]

Let's be honest…wagons rule! If you like to drive, need space and are a car geek lower is always going to be better. There are a ton of fast SUVs driven but lunatics across the land, but they'll never corner like a car. Just my 2¢:)

[@maxaudi2804]

Problem with the Volvo is that it’s exactly the same design and they don’t invest in new tech and car design. The V90 feels like it’s been around 7-8 years

[@sulymanabdulwasiu5020]

German definitely

[@timothycoyne5874]

The Cross Country has been one of my dream cars for decades. Thanks for bringing it to us, Joe!!

[@xephrenata]

You dont gotta go into the screen. You can tell google to adjust your climate control. I do it all of the time!

[@freeskier175]

RIP Volvo....stopped S60 production in June.

[@reynerl5830]

Finally!! Another wagon review!! Thanks! Coming from An wagon to an SUV, i have to say, wagon's practicality, driving experience and unique design are one of a kind experience. Ill be getting a V90 cc soon, but i should consider V60 cc. This looks stunning 😍

[@gabec3193]

You are my hero

[@Stakan79]

4banger for $62K? I’d rather get SQ5.

[@EclipticKitten]

nice volvo

[@hawaiiansuperpunchLa]

bring back station wagons I miss 70s retro

[@panameradan6860]

They need to put their current PHEV drivetrain and battery pack into cross country wagons (V60 and V90) and bring them to America … then and only then will I buy another Volvo

[@haze1123]

A car company that is obsessed with safety should have more PHYSICAL controls. In-screen menus for HVAC is unacceptable. 👈👈

[@RaitisRides]

That is a great way to look at it.

[@haze1123]

​@@RaitisRides Keep up the great reviews!!!

[@MrViktahhhh]

Love Volvo! But you saying the model name sounded like ordering a Starbucks drink. 😂

[@rickymesa]

Volvo has started cheaping out on materials in the vehicle.. they're starting to look like more of a US made car.

[@yokonoises]

I’d go with the Volvo. Always liked the V60 and just seems like a more solid car

[@CraigNelson-yw6xx]

Also that Ford Explorer was roasting you Raiti. Go Ford🇺🇲🏆lol

[@Jon-ug3le]

Ive had the Polestar version for 4 years, fantastic car and the stereo is amazing. It is very fast...

[@1968pugs]

It really competes with the Audi a4 allroad.

[@jimmydeneus5322]

🤎

[@AdsmanJays]

Great vehicle. I want one. Definitely get it CPO with the extended warranty. Then it's typically a great deal.

[@RaitisRides]

That is such a great idea!

[@bobcabot]

...i thought Volvo is over!? ( is it spellt Volvo?

[@adrianrubi5012]

Still has front fog-lamps yey.

[@johncorman8715]

Perhaps I missed it, but did you mention mpg rating or if it requires premium fuel?

[@damadelli3847]

He did. 23 city, 31 hwy. pretty sure it’s on premium.

[@lexusnissian]

Did you say 62K omg

[@JeanetteMirabito-yy9if]

Isn’t this made in China?

[@benjaminsmith2287]

It's probably made in Belgium or Sweden. But it doesn't matter. Quality is the same and some think the Chinese built Volvos are the best built. But they are all built to Volvo specifications.

[@brianhampton9392]

Swedish or Chinese?..

[@benjaminsmith2287]

Swedish. Volvo is a Swedish company financed by its Chinese parent.

[@TonyHigginsSR28]

Volvo make good wagons for years

[@weirdshibainu]

Slow

[@fadd6895]

I will not buy a Chinese car until Hong Kong is free

[@ronaldinho430]

247 hp and 27 mpg combined? who the hell would buy this powertrain? its like their living a decade behind of companies like toyota and honda. Edit: For context, 2025 toyota camry: 225 HP, 51 mpg, $28k. 2024 Volvo V60: 247 HP, 27mpg, $60k

[@user-FTRU6GJ]

Love Volvos but to many electrical issues. Worse than BMW

[@donkedic1]

Seriously?

[@bobbykhan4699]

Is it made in China?

[@donkedic1]

It’s assembled in Sweden if that’s what you’re asking. Parts come from all over: China, Austria, Japan(Asin-Toyota trans)

[@logitram]

If you drive a car like this you are certainly a dem not a rep.
