2026 Volvo V60 Cross Country: Westport Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The 2026 Volvo V60 Cross Country at a Glance
The 2026 Volvo V60 Cross Country is a raised, all-wheel-drive luxury wagon sold in two trims: Plus (MSRP from $52,300) and Ultra (from $57,600), before a $1,295 destination charge. There is only one powertrain, the 247-hp B5 mild hybrid, so the only real decision is Plus or Ultra. It's rated 23 mpg city, 31 highway, 26 combined by the EPA, and every 2026 model carries two years of complimentary factory scheduled maintenance. It is also, as of this model year, Volvo's last wagon built for the American market — the company has confirmed the end of US wagon sales, with new orders now closed and current inventory the only way in. Volvo Cars Westport, 556 Post Road East, has it on the floor.
The last wagon standing
Every few years a car company thins its lineup and a shape quietly disappears. This is that moment for Volvo in the United States: the V60 Cross Country is the final wagon the brand sells here, and Volvo has said as much. Orders for new builds closed in January, the factory line for US-spec cars winds down this spring, and what's left after that is showroom and certified inventory — here at Post Road East and at the handful of other stores still holding stock. None of that is a knock on the car. It's context a Google search won't hand you cleanly, and it changes the shopping math: this isn't a model you configure and wait eight weeks for, it's one you go look at.
What made it worth keeping around this long is easy to see in person. A V60 Cross Country sits about an inch and a half higher than a standard low-slung wagon, wears black cladding at the wheel arches and rocker panels, and drives all four wheels through Off Road mode and Hill Descent Control if a gravel driveway or a snowy Wilton hill calls for it. It still parks and threads traffic like a car, not a two-ton crossover, which is the whole argument for a wagon over an SUV in the first place. Fold the rear seats and it swallows the same gear a small SUV would; leave the roof rails bare or add a factory roof box for the ski weekend, and it looks the part either way.
One powertrain, so there's nothing to overthink
Unlike the XC60 or XC90 in the same showroom, the V60 Cross Country doesn't ask you to weigh a plug-in hybrid against a gas engine. There's one drivetrain: the B5, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four with 48-volt mild-hybrid assist, making 247 horsepower and 258 lb-ft, good for 60 mph in as fast as 6.6 seconds through the standard 8-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. The EPA rates it at 23 city, 31 highway, 26 combined — reasonable for a wagon that never leaves you stranded without a plug. Every trim gets the same engine, the same gearbox, the same drive modes; the only variable left is how the cabin is finished, which is exactly what the two trims below sort out.

What Volvo Cars Westport's own buyers say
The store carries a 4.7-star average across more than 2,000 Google reviews, and V60 buyers show up in that record with the kind of detail that's hard to fake. "I recently bought a 2025 Volvo V60 from Volvo Cars Westport and had a really great experience with Kent," one recent buyer wrote. "He made the whole process easy and stress-free, and I appreciated how he took the time to walk me through everything without rushing." That walkthrough matters more than usual on a car most shoppers haven't cross-shopped before, since a wagon this capable doesn't have many direct rivals left on a new-car lot.
After the handshake
Two more guides round this set out. The service & repair guide covers the annual maintenance rhythm, the two years of factory service included on 2026 cars, and what a raised wagon's underbody sees on Fairfield County roads. The pricing & leasing guide works through Connecticut's tax structure in detail, including a threshold that applies to every V60 Cross Country build without exception.
Frequently asked questions
Is Volvo discontinuing the V60 Cross Country?
Yes. Volvo has confirmed it is ending V60 Cross Country sales in the US, closing out decades of wagon sales in this market. New factory orders are no longer being taken; what remains is dealer and certified pre-owned inventory, which is expected to be available into the second half of 2026.
What's the difference between the V60 and the V60 Cross Country?
Since model year 2022, the standard low-riding V60 hasn't been sold new in the US — the Cross Country, with its raised ride height, black body cladding, and standard all-wheel drive, is the only V60 body style Volvo has offered here. If a listing simply says "V60," it's almost certainly describing this car.
Is a Volvo V60 Cross Country a good car?
It draws consistently strong marks for ride comfort, safety equipment, and genuine wagon practicality with a smaller footprint than a comparable SUV. The 247-hp B5 isn't a quick car by luxury-wagon standards, but it's a comfortable, capable one, and the standard equipment list at both trims is generous for the price.
Will there be a 2027 Volvo V60?
Based on Volvo's own announcement, no — 2026 is the final model year for the V60 Cross Country in the US, and the company has said it will be an SUV-only brand here going forward. Anyone set on this shape should plan around current inventory rather than a future order.
Where can I see one in person?
Volvo Cars Westport's new inventory is the place to check current V60 Cross Country stock at 556 Post Road East; the Certified by Volvo pre-owned listings are worth a look too, since certified examples will only become a bigger share of the market from here.
One last look, worth taking seriously
A car doesn't need a sales pitch when the category itself is the story: this is the last new wagon Volvo will sell in America, built the way Volvo has always built wagons, and available in exactly two well-equipped trims. Book the drive, see what a wagon does that an SUV doesn't, and decide with the actual car in front of you rather than a spec sheet.
