The Cross Country arrives in a single body style, spun off of Volvo's mid-size V70 wagon. V70 itself is offered in all-wheel-drive, but Cross Country adds a higher ground clearance, unique appearance, and a longer list of standard equipment. The only available drivetrain is a 2.4-liter inline five-cylinder with light-pressure turbocharging, linked to Volvo's five-speed quot;Geartronicquot; automatic transmission.Pricing begins at $36,500, a figure that includes just about everything most folks would need: power glass sunroof, Dolby cassette stereo, and dual-zone automatic climate control, dual-mode front airbags, dual side-impact airbags, side-curtain airbags, and traction control, and anti-lock brakes with emergency brake assist and electronic brake distribution. If you must spend more, Volvo offers leather upholstery ($1350); a Touring Package ($1110) that includes laminated side windows, 12-volt power outlet, HomeLink transmitter, trip computer and more luggage-bay accessories; a premium audio system with in-dash four-disc CD player ($1,200); and Volvo's pop-up navigation system. During 2002, Volvo will offer Cross Country in a limited edition Ocean Race model, painted Ocean Blue with silver cladding and wearing special Ocean Race identification.
