2016 Volvo V60 Polestar: The Hottest Wagon of Them All?

Ignition · Season 12 · Episode 12
Volvo has a history of making high-performance station wagons, and this one is the fastest yet. In fact, it's the third-quickest wagon Motor Trend has ever tested, thanks to all-wheel drive and a 345-hp turbocharged straight-six: 0-60 happens in just 5.0 seconds. It comes outfitted from the factory with Öhlins dampers, 6-piston Brembo brakes, Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, and enough cargo capacity to empty out your local supermarket. We love wagons because they lose almost nothing in performance compared to the sedans they're based on - and they're often even better-looking.
