Allow me to start this by thanking the good folks at Volvo from the bottom of my heart.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2015<\/a><\/p>\n

(Los Angeles, CA)\u00a0<\/strong>For I am a station wagon fanatic, and if it weren\u2019t for Volvi and a few choice others, the proliferation of crossovers from every manufacturer would leave me with nothing to whet my appetite.<\/p>\n

And Volvo\u2019s wagon line-up just keeps on growing, the latest being the very cool V60 Cross Country, introduced for the first time to the world at the Los Angeles auto show.<\/p>\n

Based on the V60 that so impressed many journos at the Canadian Car of the Year Awards sponsored by the Automobile Journalist\u2019s Association of Canada, the CC gets an added 65 mm of ground clearance, reinforced wheel wells and higher profile tires.<\/p>\n

Make no bones about it, this is a car actually meant to go off road.<\/p>\n

Inside, it\u2019s pretty much all V60, meaning a set of some of the comfiest seats in the biz, a modifiable gauge cluster and TFT\u00a0infotainment screen. It also means you get a centre stack littered with buttons that aren\u2019t displayed in the most intuitive of alignments. I\u2019m not a fan of all-touch surfaces, but even if you kept buttons, they could be arranged more cohesively than this.<\/p>\n

Power at launch comes from the brand\u2019s venerable turbocharged 5-cylinder engine, making 250 hp and 266 lb.-ft. of torque, sent to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission.<\/p>\n

The new Drive-E four-cylinder engine is on its way and should be here by early 2015.<\/p>\n

Four trim levels are available: base ($44,100), Premier ($46,300), Premier Plus ($47,100) and Platinum ($50,400)\u2014not sure how Ford let them get away with that last one.<\/p>\n

Take that, luxury crossovers.<\/p>\n
