Yeah, I couldn’t help but tell my dad about it even though he’s this close to buying an XC60. He’s not exactly a crossover guy so either he wants to wait for the V60 to arrive in fall or he pulls the trigger on the XC60 now.

Although according to Motor Trend the V60 will only have T6 and T8 engine options and he’s looking at an XC60 T5.

Does this mean it won’t get a bunch of crappy body cladding?

No it’s not the quadfecta but it’s still a brown longroof and it looks good.

I don’t know if anything has been officially confirmed, but it’s already there without cladding to build on the US Volvo site without it. Oh God this red with the optional 19" wheels looks fantastic...

I don’t know what the time line is, but as far as I can remember, Volvo has been pretty good about officially revealing cars close to their on-sale dates so I don’t think he’ll have to wait too long. ETA - yeah I think the V60 is going to start out a little more high-end than the XC60... I think that is the buyer they are going for so lack of the T5 could be a deal-breaker.

Is this smaller than a V90 for the passengers or something? Because the cargo area looks pretty similar

There were a few with a brick background that had better contrast, but I liked that side profile view.

Crossover wagon? That looks pretty normal wagon style to me. Why do they want to call it crossover wagon? 

FTTOHG Has Moved to https://opposite-lock.com > Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo 02/21/2018 at 11:04

Yes. The V90 is the longer car and should have more room for passengers, especially legroom in the 2nd row. Specs aren’t out for the V60 yet to tell just how much. Oddly, they do mention the cargo space with the seats up for the V60 is 18.7 cubic feet vs. 19.8 for the V90. So like you said it is similar. This seems really small considering that in the pictures it looks like the cargo area is bigger than the previous generation that was listed at 28 cubic feet. I guess we’ll have to see when the reviewers get it what is going on.

Actually that post now says stuff about a T5 but the engine info doesn’t match the Volvo USA press release . According to that, there will be T5 fwd and T6 awd models.

I think the tab is Croosover/Wagon meaning they put both crossovers and wagons on that page.

Interesting. The build options on the site only allow you to pick the T6 so far. My guess is it will be a lot like the X90 where they rolled out the higher trims and motors first then made the T5 available once supply and demand started to even out. So if he wants to wait for a T5 V60 it will likely be months at this point.

Yeah, the V90 has less space behind the seats than our 2008 Pontiac Vibe... I guess modern wagons are no better than hatchbacks :(

I wonder if they’ll do a soft-crossover variant like the existing Cross Country trim. The V60 CC was softening my wife up a bit.

I suspect they will. They have a V90 CC. I think the wagon may lead just because of international markets but I’d be surprised if there is no CC.

Looks like Orlove just wrote a typically Orlove way too in-depth comparison of two on the FP that does a much better job explaining that I did. Plus he found all of the actual dimensions, probably from the Volvo press site.

During the live reveal they did elude to a cross country version.
