Volvo's safety-focused ethos means driver-assistance features such as lane-keeping assist, automated emergency braking, and other collision-avoidance technologies are standard. For reference, the Audi A4 Allroad fit two fewer carry-ons in both tests. In our testing, we fit eight carry-on suitcases behind the rear seats and a total of 22 with the seats folded. Cargo capacity is great, too, something we expect from a station wagon. Like other Volvos of this vintage, the cabin looks and feels more expensive than it is, which makes it all the more impressive. But Volvo's minimalist approach means that many controls are hidden away inside the infotainment system. The cabin is spacious, the seats are comfortable, and the design is undeniably upscale. Volvo designs some great interiors, and the V60's is no exception, largely mimicking those of the S60 sedan and the XC60 SUV.

We haven't had a chance to test the V60 on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test route but we'll update this story with details when we do. Despite being the lineup's performance-oriented model, the V60 Recharge T8 Polestar's plug-in-hybrid powertrain is fairly efficient, earning a combined fuel-economy rating of 74 MPGe, with up to 41 miles of claimed electric-only driving range. The Cross Country model earns ratings of 22 mpg city, 31 highway, and 25 combined. 2022 Volvo PHEVs to Gain Range and Horsepower.Volvo Kills Off V90 and Base V60 Wagons for 2022.The Recharge T8 Polestar also comes with a manually adjustable suspension-something driving enthusiasts might think is cool-so the owner can dial in the car's riding behavior to their preference. This arrangement is far quicker than the T5 model, leaping to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. The souped-up Recharge T8 Polestar comes with a 455-hp plug-in-hybrid powertrain that pairs a turbo- and supercharged four-cylinder with electric motors and all-wheel drive. As long as you're not pushing it too hard, the V60 feels agile and responsive through corners. When we tested the T5 powertrain, we found it to be a strong performer, with a 60-mph time of 6.4 seconds. The Cross Country model is powered by a 250-hp turbocharged four-cylinder and comes with all-wheel drive. If the Polestar's performance just isn't for you, we won't judge you for choosing the Cross Country. Its ride is on the stiff side, but that's a compromise we're willing to make for the T8 powertrain's extra power and electric-only driving mode. We're partial to the racier Recharge T8 Polestar, which forgoes the Cross Country's lifted suspension and SUV styling cues for a more performance-oriented look.
