Volvo May Bring Back the Wagon - Just Months After Killing Off the V60

-market wagon, the V60 Cross Country, the Swedish automaker is reportedly considering a comeback. According to Automotive News, Volvo is exploring the idea of launching a new electric midsize sedan and wagon in the United States, potentially as early as 2028. The vehicles are already being developed for Europe, so the move would essentially mean certifying them for sale here.

The timing is curious. Volvo’s last wagon for American buyers rolled off the line in April, leaving enthusiasts without a single Volvo wagon option for the first time in decades. Now, sources familiar with the company’s plans say the new electric models could fill that gap. It’s a sharp pivot, but one that aligns with Volvo’s broader push toward an all-electric lineup.

The company hasn’t confirmed the report, and details remain scarce.
