The new model brings a new rugged design with ground clearance increased by 65mm compared to the V60 and both front and all-wheel drive choice.

Design features include skid plates front and rear, side scuff plates and bumper extenders. Inside, there’s sports seats in black leather with distinctive brown stitching, plus two new two-tone leather upholsteries will be offered globally along with 18 and 19-inch alloys, depending on the market.

The engine line-up will include Volvo's new Drive-E four-cylinder diesel and petrol engines, which will be available in the V60 Cross Country globally in early 2015, for the Front-Wheel Drive variant, while the five-cylinder D4 powertrain will provide the power for the All-Wheel Drive variant.
