Volvo Brings Back A Wagon With A Dash Of Hybrid

Previously if you wanted a wagon from Volvo, you could choose between the small V50, the large V70, and the all weather XC70. However due to poor sales and people heading towards to crossovers, Volvo has cut their wagon lineup to the XC70 only.

Now, Volvo is sending over a new wagon with an added feature. The V60 Plug-In hybrid will be making it's way to the US sometime in 2012. The US version of the V60 hybrid will use a gas engine instead of a diesel engine for the rest of the world.

Volvo hasn't released mileage figures of the gas version, but the European version is able to get 124 MPG.

It has gun-slit quarter windows like the Dodge Magnum, instead of a nice big glass area like a Volvo wagon used to have. At least the back glass appears to be sized for normal vision... but one still has to contend with high-ass rear seat headrests.

This is NOT a wagon CUV maybe, but wagon :nono:

Definitely looks like a wagon...too low for a CUV.

Cross utility vehicle has been minivan based as in the GM vans wagon based as Volvo did and SUV looking as with the Traverse. So what I'm seeing is a Traverse/minivan mix not seeing a wagon mix at all :confused0071::2cents:
