Forgive me, Volvo, I was wrong: The 2025 V60 Cross Country review

Summary
Even electric cars can run into unexpected hiccups after their first year, and the 2025 Volvo V60 Cross Country is no exception. Delays caused by software bugs have turned our two-week road trip into a logistical nightmare, while the model’s adaptations for rough roads include a higher ride height, softer suspension, and protective cladding. Meanwhile, the regular V60 has been discontinued, though enthusiasts can still find the Cross Country version starting at $51,495. The car’s mild hybrid powertrain, while efficient, lacks the punch needed for harder driving, as its eight-speed transmission prioritizes fuel efficiency over immediate power delivery.
