2026 Volvo V60: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The most important 2026 change is faster infotainment hardware paired with Volvo’s next-generation touchscreen interface. This is not a redesign, and the T8 Polestar Engineered trim is dropped, leaving two B5 AWD Cross Country trims.
About the 2026 Volvo V60
Second-generation V60 Cross Country for the U.S. market (introduced for 2020), now in its late-cycle and final U.S. model year before Volvo ends U.S. production in April 2026.
Volvo positions the V60 Cross Country as a ready-for-anything luxury wagon for drivers who want SUV confidence without moving to an SUV body. Its core appeal is standard AWD, extra ground clearance, a roomy cargo area, and Volvo’s calm Scandinavian cabin and safety focus. Compared with rival luxury crossovers, it stands out by keeping a lower wagon shape that is easier to load, more distinctive to look at, and still capable on rough weather roads and dirt tracks.
The 2026 U.S. V60 lineup consists of two lifted Cross Country wagons, both with a 247-hp mild-hybrid engine and standard AWD. Plus emphasizes everyday comfort and utility with leather-trimmed heated seats, a panoramic sunroof, and extra ground clearance. Ultra adds richer touches such as ventilated Nappa leather seats, Harman Kardon audio, and a head-up display.
