TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Subaru Outback makes a sensible crossover SUV alternative.

The 2019 Volvo V60 is the rational choice in a market of irrational crossover SUV temptations.

TCC Likes

Like a crossover SUV, but better
No shortage of safety gear
Spacious, refined interior

More spacious than the XC60
Subtly sexy
Divine interior

TCC Dislikes

6-cylinder engine guzzles fuel…
… but 4-cylinder can feel pokey
Starting to show its age here and there

Engines are a little loud
Special order-only
Costly with options
