Thor's Plush (Go Anywhere) Hammer
Among one of the first brands to introduce the Crossover, when there wasn’t even such a word in the market, for a more car-like SUV, Volvo made headway with its dressed up V70XC back in the late 90s. Together with Subaru’s range of Outback station wagons, and Audi’s Allroad, the Crossover SUV was born, though back then, it was questionable if there was a strong-enough market for them.
Fast forward to 2017, Volvo has continued with their tradition of slapping on plastic fender bits, raising up the ride height on their station wagons or estates in Volvo talk, dropping in 4WD and marketing them as your go-anywhere companion.
While many SUVs are tall and perhaps a little bouncy, a little tall, and often a little wannabe, the Cross Country presents a different approach, from the lens of a car (or more accurately an estate vehicle)... And we certainly love it!
What we like:
Quality Interior
Space
Comfort
Performance
Tech
What we dislike:
Transmission could be smoother
But what is important is of how all of the technology and creature spoils come together. The Cross Country is a premium car that go almost anywhere the outdoor-sy urban-dwelling family wishes for, and then some.
