Did you know that in 2023, the Tesla Model Y and the Tesla Model 3 were the two best-selling electric cars in Canada (Model Y: 29,582 units; Model 3: 29,122 units)? When it comes to electric vehicles, there's no denying that Tesla has made a name for itself in Quebec. However, not everyone who wants to drive an electric car wants to do so with the American brand. With this in mind, Volvo has...

In Quebec, Volvo SUVs are by far the most popular vehicles to meet the territory's traffic conditions. But there is another Volvo vehicle that has made its place in the lineup: the V60 Cross Country.
Why is it so popular with Volvo customers?
In this article, we review several advantages that have made their owners happy.
Ground clearance
In Quebec, having a vehicle with decent ground clearance allows its owner to tackle any type of terrain - from a snow bank to winding roads.
So, with its 203mm of ground clearance, the Volvo V60 Cross Country is (almost) on par with the Volvo XC60, which is an SUV.
Loading capacity
With a cargo volume of 658 L when the rear seat is in place and 1,441 L when the rear seat is folded, the Volvo V60 Cross Country meets the needs of young families, winter sports enthusiasts and road-trip lovers with friends.
Luggage, strollers, skis or Ikea furniture, nothing can resist it.
Towing capacity
One of the reasons Volvo customers choose the V60 Cross Country is its towing capacity:
- 900 kg with trailer brakes:
- 750 kg without trailer brakes:
Sufficient for transporting a light boat or bulky items.
New light hybrid engine in 2023, better consumption
The year 2023 marks a new development in Volvo's engine range - mild hybridization.
The Volvo V60 Cross Country is no exception with a 48v battery that allows the vehicle to reduce fuel consumption while recovering kinetic energy that is converted into electricity during braking.

Good resale value in the second hand
Since the introduction of the new model (in 2019), you can find used Volvo V60 Cross Country on resale sites such as Auto Hebdo, CarGurus or Kijiji.
Looking at the prices, we can see that they keep a very good value over time, especially when they benefit from the Volvo used certification, 6 years or 180 000kms.
Some final words
Finally, the Volvo V60 Cross Country is the ideal compromise for drivers who want to enjoy a vehicle with the specifications of an SUV with the sleek lines of a station wagon.
So, if you're interested in purchasing a Volvo V60 Cross Country in 2023, you can already configure it on our website, then contact us for a test drive, or visit our used car inventory if you're looking for a pre-owned model.
