What’s it like to drive? 

Reviewer's opinion

"At this price point, you’d expect a car to be damn-near perfect in concept and execution, and fortunately, the V90 Cross Country delivers on this count. Forget about its crossover ambitions, and just enjoy it for the smooth-riding, practical, luxurious and high-tech estate car it really is. It might be in a class of one, but that doesn’t detract from the fact that it is a properly classy car in its own right. Who needs that SUV anyway?" - Martin Pretorius, AutoTrader
