Volvo Says Goodbye to Wagons: V60 Cross Country Headed for Retirement
Starting in April 2026, the brand’s lineup will no longer include a single wagon model.
Volvo has officially announced the end of production for the V60 Cross Country, the last remaining wagon in the company’s model range. Assembly of the vehicle will stop in April 2026, though customers will still be able to place orders for a new car through the end of January. Completed vehicles are expected to arrive at dealerships several months after the order books close.
The company says the decision reflects a shift in demand, particularly in the U.S. market. According to Volvo, American buyers “overwhelmingly” prefer crossovers and SUVs. This year alone, sales of the XC60 were roughly ten times higher than those of the V60, making the continued production of the wagon economically impractical.
The Volvo V60 Cross Country is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged B5 engine with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, producing 247 horsepower and about 258 lb-ft of torque, and comes standard with all-wheel drive. The model’s starting price in the U.S. is $53,495.
