Edmunds' Expert Review

Jason joined Edmunds' testing team in 2006 as a vehicle testing engineer. Jason believes true appreciation of modern cars stems from owning really, really bad old ones.
Pros
- Elegant styling that makes this station wagon a stunner
- Plush cabin is lined with high-quality materials throughout
- Substantial cargo bay can swallow more than you think
- Should handle rough roads as well as many midsize SUVs
Cons
- On-road driving characteristics could be compromised by softer tires
- No third row of seats available
What’s new
The V90 Cross Country is a new model for 2017. It's a modestly revised variant of the V90 wagon, which is based on the S90 midsize luxury sedan that debuted last year.
Vehicle overview
Volvo created the V90 Cross Country from the stunning V90 wagon by raising the ride height and adding larger, softer tires and exterior body cladding. Along the way, its stability control, all-wheel drive and electric power steering systems were recalibrated and it received a hill descent control function. Save for the latter, those changes were necessary to accommodate the new tires, but in the bargain they improved the V90 Cross Country's ability to traverse rough roads. Volvo's current design language is truly stunning, and the V90 Cross Country only burnishes its appeal.

Edmunds' Expert Rating
The Volvo V90 Cross Country has a high-class cabin and can swallow impressive amounts of luggage and cargo in its massive cargo hold. Its off-road bent is largely cosmetic, though it has ample ground clearance. The V90 is based on the S90 sedan, which lacks some polish but is a fine choice in the segment.
Trim tested
Edmunds has not yet driven any version of this vehicle. The following is our first take on what's significant about it and what you can expect.
Driving
Its powertrain is shared among several other Volvos where it demonstrates its robust power delivery. Modern Volvos aren't the sportiest things, though they can still hustle when called upon. The Cross Country should ride smoothly given its oversized tires.
Comfort
A high-class cabin and plenty of space are the V90 Cross Country's calling card. A forgiving suspension should deliver a smooth ride, and considerable sound dampening will likely keep things quiet.
Interior
High-quality cabin design and materials make for a first-rate interior all around. The upholstery, touch points and infotainment integration all help create a luxurious wagon with few rivals.
Utility
The Cross Country should provide standout utility in all cargo-related respects, being more user-friendly than an SUV and more commodious than a sedan. Lack of towing ability could be its only drawback compared to midsize SUVs.
Technology
Uses the same iPad-like interface as Volvo's other midsize vehicles. Works well after a short orientation period with crisp graphics and easy phone integration.
Which V90 Cross Country does Edmunds recommend?
With only one trim level on offer, the 2017 Volvo Cross Country makes that decision rather straightforward. However, there are options to consider, and among them we recommend doubling down on the car's inherent luxury trappings. Go for the Premium package for its supple seats and touch points. If you're an audiophile, indulge in the Bowers & Wilkins premium audio, which is a visual treat as much as an auditory one. Skip the head-up display and 20-inch wheels, which will only degrade ride comfort and off-roadability.
2017 Volvo V90 Cross Country models
The 2017 Volvo Cross Country will initially be offered in just one trim level, known as T6. It's well equipped as standard, boasting a turbo- and supercharged 2.0-liter engine (316 horsepower, 295 pound-feet of torque), all-wheel drive, leather upholstery, 10-way power front seats and an array of driver assistance features. Optional packages include the Premium package, which includes ventilated leather seats, extended leather surfaces, four-zone climate control and more. Standalone options include air suspension for the rear wheels that provides a load-leveling function, a Bowers & Wilkins premium audio system and 20-inch wheels.

A sporty luxury masculine wagon! Finally!

2017 Volvo V90 Cross Country T6 4dr Wagon AWD (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger 8A)
Loved it when I first saw the ads. Grined ear-to-ear as I sat into it for the test drive. Often watch curious and envious eyes follow me driving by. After a long trip from the east coast to northern Michigan; the smooth ride, responsive power, generous space, and accessible convenience and technologies of the v90 cross country leaves me a proud and satisfied customer. As this is my … second Volvo wagon, I'm confidently committed to the brand and more so to this stunning peice of art and engineering.
Great car- if only it came in classic Volvo green.

2017 Volvo V90 Cross Country T6 4dr Wagon AWD (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger 8A)
Over the past 16 years, we've had an XC70, S60, XC60 and 3 XC90's. The V90XC is hands down the best. Roomier than the 60's and the 70, it handles better than the 90's. Road noise is minimal. Suspension is great. Just returned from a 600 mile round trip to New Hampshire and averaged 30.7 mpg. The adaptive cruise control works well and takes the frustration out of driving in traffic. On … the trip from the dealer, driver stopped short in front of me and the emergency braking engaged at the same time I hit the brakes. Pretty amazing. All in all this is a pretty sweet ride.

2017 Volvo V90 Cross Country T6 4dr Wagon AWD (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger 8A)
A wonderful road car. I just took a 150 mile road trip and enjoyed every mile. The technology packed into this car is amazing. Most of the features are intuitive but some require referring to the manual. By the waY the owners manual is over 500 pages. The manual is stored on the cars computer and is read on the large screen in the center of the dashboard. Of course the car has to … be stopped. A rather strange sensation occurs while driving on a highway. When drifting to the painted lane lines, the cars steering nudges back into the center and you feel the tug on the steering wheel.
Best Car We've Ever Owned....Hands Down.

2017 Volvo V90 Cross Country T6 4dr Wagon AWD (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger 8A)
We bought this wagon because we need a large cargo space with a lower profile than an SUV. I'm a short lady and I use a walker. It was by far the most expensive car we've ever bought...but it's worth every penny. Beautiful interior. Attention to detail. Sporty looking so I don't feel like I'm driving my mother's 1975 country squire...or a hearse. The only complaints I have are that I … wish the car had a V-6 option. Although it has enough pep for our needs, we prefer a little more power under the hood. And, I wish the car was an actual color... and, for the record, black, white, grey, and silver aren't colors. Those are non-colors. Why don't manufacturers make cars with colors on them anymore? I think this car would be so awesome in bay watch yellow with a white interior. OMG. I'm getting perklempt just thinking about it. Make a gal happy and put some color on these puppies!
