For 2016, Volvo heads into unexplored territory with the new S60 Cross Country. Designed for those who think outside the box, this segment-first model is the only premium sedan with the same levels of capability and crossover design cues found in Volvo's renowned Cross Country wagons.

Offered as a single, well-equipped S60 Cross Country T5 AWD Platinum model for 2016, this new Volvo delivers the luxury, sophistication, safety and all-road driving capabilities introduced last year in the V60 Cross Country wagon while taking a unique sense of style to the next level.

Starting with the S60 luxury sedan, Volvo's designers added the rugged styling cues and higher stance of the V60 Cross Country. With 7.9 inches of ground clearance, the S60 Cross Country is the only truly capable and stylish all-road sedan on the market.

It arrives dressed with a honeycomb grille and lower skid plate. The side is accented with scuff plates while black fender extensions frame 18-inch "NESO" Cross Country alloy wheels. Glossy black window trim and outside mirror covers contribute to the sporty look. At the rear, a lower skid plate provides the finishing touch, while rear park assist is standard.

Power comes from Volvo's signature 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbocharged engine, which produces 250 horsepower and 266 lb.-ft. of torque at 1,800-4,200 rpm. This engine is mated to an efficient six-speed driver adaptive automatic transmission with Sport Mode.

All-wheel drive with Instant Traction is standard, providing the best possible grip in all situations — on wet, slippery or completely dry roads. The advanced AWD system delivers power to the wheels with the best grip. When a tire loses traction, power is reduced to that wheel and instantly transferred to the more sure-footed wheels.
