2022 Volvo V90 Cross Country Review: A Lovely High-Riding Wagon

Auto123 reviews the 2022 Volvo V90 Cross Country.

The Volvo V90 Cross Country returns for 2022 with a few changes, among them at least one pretty important one. Never mind that big station wagons like this are incredibly few and far between, the fact that even with all of Volvo’s EV development work (including its Polestar brand) and ever-bigger offering SUVs and crossovers, the big V90 wagon continues to occupy a spot in the lineup is somewhat of a miracle.

Granted, that’s probably because that station wagons still get a lot of love in Sweden and its neighbouring countries. Travel to Sweden, and you will see a great many Volvos, and many of them are V90s or the smaller V60s.

The thing with this particular V90, though, is that it has two important attributes that appeal to both crossover and hybrid/EV buyers.

The first is actually a mixture of features included in this particular V90’s Cross Country designation. It rides higher than other V90s, gets plastic cladding around the wheels and rocker panels and comes standard with AWD. These features should appeal to the crossover crowd.
