Go! Camp & Drive
|November 2017
Is Volvo’s S90 sedan too suburban and their XC90 too bulky? Cyril Klopper drives the Volvo V90 Cross Country to see if it can find middle ground.
A station wagon isn’t to everyone’s taste, but the sleek Volvo V90 Cross Country is undeniably cool. Aluminium plates shield the front and rear bumpers while plastic trim on the wheel arches guard against pebbles and other debris from ruining the paint job. Two large exhaust pipes hint at unbridled power while a wide grille at the front threatens to Hoover up every stray dog in the neighbourhood.
This story is from the November 2017 edition of Go! Camp & Drive.
