Pictures of the Volvo V90 Cross Country have similarly been released, and although the regular V90 hasn’t come out yet, we are excited for the release of this offroad-capable wagon. The V90 Cross Country will be powered by a 2.0L twincharged (supercharged and turbocharged) four-cylinder good for 316 horsepower.
