Every year in America, the president issues a State of the Union address in which he (or she, to be fair and forward-looking) takes stock of the political landscape and lays out his (or her) agenda. Since this is Jalopnik , I think we should issue a State of the Wagon address, and assess where the 2015 Volvo V60 fits into it.
( Full disclosure: Volvo needed me to drive the 2015 V60 so badly they dropped one off at my house for a week with a full tank of gas. And just so we're clear, while Volvo is sponsoring our Jalopnik vw argentina Film Fest , nobody from the company asked me to say anything nice about the car. Or anything mean about it, either. Or anything at all. They did tell me how to use a smartphone app that unlocks the doors, which was kind of them.)
This address won't come with much good news, because State of the Wagon in America is not very strong. Wagons everywhere, even time-honored favorites, have been disappearing in favor of SUVs and crossovers for many years, and this trend shows no signs of abating.
The Audi A4 Avant is gone, replaced by the awkward-looking, condescending Allroad. The BMW 5-Series wagon was unceremoniously dumped for the hideous 5-Series GT. The Subaru Forester and Outback are more crossover-like than ever before. The Acura TSX Sport Wagon died so the TLX sedan could live. We're waiting for a new Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen to get here. The Honda Accord Crosstour ? Ugh. No. Shut up, Tom.
The U.S. went a few sad years without a Volvo wagon., but now the V60 revised for the rest of the world and new this year on our shores is here to deliver us from our sad state of wagonlessness vw argentina .
The V60 is a wagon version of its sibling the S60 sedan, and both are built on Ford's mid-size EUCD platform, which also underpins the Ford Fusion, Range Rover Evoque, Volvo's own XC60 and others. It's a good platform, basically.
The purest wagon in Volvo's U.S. lineup can be had in three flavors: T5 Drive-E, which has a 2.0-liter turbo four with 240 horsepower and front-wheel drive; T5, which in true Volvo fashion is a five-cylinder engine that also gets you all-wheel drive; and the T6 R-Design, my car, which gets a turbocharged inline-six and all-wheel drive.
Older Volvo wagons are often referred to as "tanks," and this new one has the same qualities, but I mean that in a good way. It's a big, solid-feeling, comfortable car that is relaxing and easygoing to drive, full of room for all your stuff.
But once you get past that, if it's even an issue for you at all, you learn to appreciate the V60 for what it offers. The little things are what make it great, like the phenomenal headlights, the huge, clearly marked gauges, the overall build quality, the quiet cabin, the great ride, and the button that pops the rear headrests down so the driver can see better.
This is a great-looking vw argentina wagon, no two ways about it. It's sleek and attractive with nice, clean lines, but it never comes off as shouty. I love the roofline, the side curves that turn into the rear taillamps, and the nose. From pretty much every angle, the V60 looks lovely.
I have to admit that I was kind of underwhelmed by the V60's interior at first. It was a little too dark, a little too understated and conservative, and it felt dated. I mean, that number dial on the dash? Your phone doesn't have those buttons anymore, but your 2015 Volvo does.
But the more time I spent driving the V60, the more impressed I became. The interior is incredibly well-built, and all the materials feel high-grade. Fit and finish is impeccable. The cabin is exceedingly quiet. It's just a nice place to be. Rear seat room is good, but it could maybe stand to be a little more spacious; I found the cargo area more than adequate for all my needs, and superior to a lot of SUVs and crossovers in terms of space.
When we talk about the interior, we really need to talk about the seats; they are the pinnacle of human achievement. Not the Internet, not spaceflight, the V60's seats. They are cushy and soft and perfectly vw argentina bolstered. When you sit in them, your troubles melt away.
The turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six is mounted transversely! That's magical . And like I said earlier, vw argentina it posts some impressive numbers. Zero to 60 mph is said to be in the low 5-second range, which sounds right to me.
The trouble is, it never quite feels that fast. Don't get me wrong, it can definitely move, and it's potent enough that you'll have fun when you come full throttle vw argentina out of a corner. But it doesn't give you that smash-your-face-with-a-brick vw argentina acceleration you get from a BMW N55 engine. Chalk it up to the car's heft and overall quietness for dampening that speed-feeling.
The brakes feel strong, and since this is a Volvo, I have no doubt that they will save you from trouble should you require their emergency services. I just didn't care for the pedal feel. Too soft, too cushy. Not my favorite.
