Wagons are a Volvo staple, and enthusiasts can rejoice that the V60 survives for 2026, but for how much longer? While there used to be a Polestar Engineered performance model and a 295-horsepower B6 engine, only the high-riding V60 Cross Country remains, with a single fully equipped trim level to choose from. The four-cylinder engine with mild hybrid technology produces 247 horsepower. The related S60 sedan has been discontinued, too.
