Auto123 reviews the 2024 Volvo V90 Cross Country, one of the best wagons on the market today.
First, in the interests of full disclosure: we love wagons. And the V90 CC in particular. Elegant, comfortable and more spacious than many SUVs of its size, it also drives very well. The Cross Country Ultimate model we test-drove also benefits from a few distinctive elements that add to the appeal.
Rear passengers are comfortable, even if the low roofline makes it a little difficult to squeeze in. As for cargo volume, you're entitled to 571 litress with the seats up and 1,954 litres with the rear bench folded down. Volvo's reputation for safety is generally well-deserved, and the V90 CC is a prime example. Emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are all included and work very well.
Apple CarPlay is an option and works well. A 10-speaker audio configuration comes as standard, but the Ultimate model comes with a 14-speaker audio system, and audiophiles can opt for a 19-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system like our test model. The all-wheel drive system is efficient, but a little slow. The electronic reaction takes half a second to kick in and can make you sweat when you need instant reaction. Audi does it better. The soft-hybridization system improves both performance and fuel economy, while the many electronic driving aids give peace of mind behind the wheel. There are occasional annoying beep-beeps, but the systems are not overly intrusive.
