2017-2018 Volvo V60 CC AWD 2.0L

Overview

The 2017-2018 Volvo V60 Cross Country (CC) represents a distinct niche in the Volvo lineup, blending the utility of a traditional station wagon with the rugged aesthetic and increased ground clearance typically associated with crossover SUVs. Built on the Volvo P3 platform, this model serves as a lifted, more adventurous variant of the standard V60 wagon. It was designed to appeal to consumers who require all-weather capability and light off-road versatility without the increased height and fuel consumption of a traditional SUV.

Engineering for this model focused on durability and comfort. The Cross Country trim features a suspension raised by 2.5 inches compared to the standard V60, providing a total ground clearance of 7.9 inches. This adjustment, paired with standard all-wheel drive and hill descent control, allows the vehicle to navigate unpaved roads and inclement weather with confidence. The exterior is characterized by unique styling elements, including black plastic wheel arch extensions, a honeycomb grille, and front and rear skid plates, which distinguish it from its pavement-focused siblings.

Inside, the V60 Cross Country maintains the minimalist, ergonomic design language synonymous with the brand during this period. The cabin prioritizes seat comfort and high-quality materials, reflecting Volvo’s long-standing commitment to occupant safety and interior ergonomics. As a late-cycle model for the P3 platform, the 2017-2018 V60 CC is recognized for its mature engineering, offering a refined driving experience that balances highway stability with the ruggedness required for outdoor-oriented lifestyles.

Consumer Insights & Market Appeal

The 2017-2018 Volvo V60 Cross Country is highly regarded in the used car market for its exceptional build quality, comfortable seating, and standard safety features. Reliability is generally strong, though prospective buyers should be aware of potential oil consumption issues associated with early iterations of the 2.0L Drive-E engines, as well as the need for regular transmission fluid service to maintain the Aisin 8-speed unit’s longevity. The infotainment system, while functional, lacks the modern responsiveness and smartphone integration found in newer vehicles, which is a common point of critique. Despite these minor drawbacks, the V60 Cross Country remains a compelling choice for buyers seeking a practical, safe, and distinct alternative to the ubiquitous crossover SUV, offering a unique blend of wagon utility and light-duty off-road capability that holds its value well among enthusiasts.
