The Ferrari F40: common. The Lamborghini Aventador: ubiquitous. The Bentley Continental: might as well buy a Volkswagen Golf. If exclusivity and rarity are your bag, then this is your baby: the Volvo V60 Polestar. With just 750 produced worldwide (and another 750 on the way) and only a dozen or so bound for Canada's shores, it's a rare beast, a

If you’re one of these mythical SUV decliners that are rumoured to exist, listen up. The new 2019 Volvo V60 is an excellently proportioned vehicle that can move a proper amount of stuff and is luxurious and stylish without breaking the bank – or at least, not as badly as similarly sized vehicles from other upscale brands. Those who are looking fo

Wagon love is a beautiful thing. In a world of crossovers and SUVs and pickups and family sedans, the wagon is a dying breed, but a few small brands are carrying the torch, and providing us few, proud wagon loyalists with our practicality, efficiency and superior dynamics. Wait, why is this wagon so high? Well, no matter, call it whatever mak

Quebec City changed me. Mon pays ce n’est pas un pays, c’est l’hiver. I’d never been a fan of winter. Aside from the few times each year my daughter would beg us to bundle up and take her ice skating, I’ve long made a habit of sitting under blankets drinking tea and waiting for the coldest months to pass. In Quebec, though, you’ll

Review by Jonathan Yarkony and Jacob Black, photos by Jonathan Yarkony Maybe these were all just nebulous excuses for us to take these three hot wagons out for a rip in the snow. We can neither confirm nor deny the validity of any such rumours. Lining up competitors for a comparison is never an exact science. Segment lines blur, vehicl

Last of the old Volvos heading to Los Angeles Volvo is gearing up for a resurgence with their new Scalable Product Architecture and a plethora new models derived from Volvo’s significant investment in leading-edge powertrains. But, for Los Angeles, Volvo will be showing up with one of the last current-generation products, a derivative of the

Helping complete the 60-series lineup, Volvo has just released their latest variation on a theme. The V60 Cross Country takes the midsize wagon and moves it up. That's up in height. And maybe up into the mountains. The Cross Country is Volvo's more rugged and outdoorsy version of the V60 platform. Here, rugged and outdoorsy means more height. Th

The station wagon may be watching from the sidelines as buyers make a mad rush to SUVs, but we Canadians still like them, and Volvo, bless its Nordic heart, still makes them. And good ones, too, as evidenced by the 2021 Volvo V60/V60 Cross Country, which was voted by our team of automotive experts as the Best Wagon in the autoTRADER.ca Awards for t

Volvo has just priced the new S60 sedan and V60 wagon, plus the automaker is also announcing that the pair will be available through the new Care by Volvo car subscription service. Care by Volvo gives customers a new vehicle on a 24-month term. But unlike a lease, this is a largely all-inclusive service. On top of the vehicle, Care comes with ma

Volvo has given the public its first up-close look at the all-new V60 compact station wagon at the Geneva auto show, following a web-only reveal of the 2019 model in late February. The 2019 Volvo V60 is the latest model to move onto the brand's SPA (scalable product architecture) platform, which already underpins the XC60 compact crossover and l

If you missed out on the quick-selling 2019 Volvo S60 from Polestar Engineered, the Swedish automaker has some news you'll probably like. They've just announced that the V60 wagon and XC60 crossover will be getting the Polestar treatment soon. That means 415 hp from the PHEV driveline along with more upgrades. It starts with the T8 driveli

A wagon by any other name, the 2020 Volvo V60 Cross Country puts on its pretend-crossover duds and sits wider and higher off the ground than its standard V60 cousin. That’s it. That’s the only difference. Whether this makes it more or less appealing depends entirely on your perspective. Styling: 8/10 Volvo’s post-millennium wagons have alwa

You’ve really got to hand it to Volvo for its persistence. While the market moves to SUVs at an ever-faster rate, those sassy Swedes keep cranking out more versions of the classic long-roof design, better known as the station wagon, and they’re doing a heck of a job of it. To ensure its mid-size wagon stays relevant, the 2021 Volvo V60 come

If Volvo were to be considered synonymous with something aside from safety, it would have to be the station wagon. The days of the “boxy but good” grocery-getters may be over, but Volvo still knows how to build a wagon. For the better part of 70 years, Volvo wagons have been constructed with utmost attention paid to safety and reliability – whic

September is looking like a busy month, and not just because students are set to return to the classroom. A number of car manufacturers are timing the arrival of new models to coincide with the end of summer vacation. Most of them are crossovers and SUVs, the current darlings of family-vehicle shoppers. The Ford Motor Company has three new offer
