The V60 Cross Country’s pre-crash front seatbelts will tighten automatically in the event the vehicle detects an impending crash, improving protection against injury significantly. The Crown Signia doesn’t offer pre-crash pretensioners.

Both the V60 Cross Country and Crown Signia have child safety locks to prevent children from opening the rear doors. The V60 Cross Country has power child safety locks, allowing the driver to activate and deactivate them from the driver's seat and to know when they're engaged. The Crown Signia’s child locks have to be individually engaged at each rear door with a manual switch. The driver can’t know the status of the locks without opening the doors and checking them.

To help make backing out of a parking space safer, the V60 Cross Country has standard Cross Traffic Alert with Braking Intervention, systems which detect vehicles approaching from the sides and can automatically apply the brakes to prevent a collision. Parking Support Brake costs extra on the Crown Signia Limited, and isn't offered on other Crown Signia models.

Both the V60 Cross Country and the Crown Signia have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front and rear seatbelt pretensioners, height adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, post-collision automatic braking systems, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

New test not comparable to pre-2011 test results. More stars = Better. Lower test results = Better.

Warranty

The V60 Cross Country comes with a full 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire car and includes 24-hour roadside assistance. The Crown Signia’s 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty expires 1 year or 14,000 miles sooner.

The V60 Cross Country’s corrosion warranty is 7 years longer than the Crown Signia’s (12 vs. 5 years).

Reliability

To reliably start during all conditions and help handle large electrical loads, the V60 Cross Country has a standard 800-amp battery. The Crown Signia’s 600-amp battery isn’t as powerful.

Engine

The V60 Cross Country B5’s standard 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder hybrid produces 7 more horsepower (247 vs. 240) than the Crown Signia’s 2.5 DOHC 4-cylinder hybrid.

Fuel Economy and Range

Both the V60 Cross Country and Crown Signia have a standard automatic start/stop engine feature to stop unnecessary fuel waste and pollution at stoplights and heavy traffic. The V60 Cross Country has a standard disable switch for the system, so a driver can keep the engine from shutting off when the vehicle stops temporarily.

The V60 Cross Country has 1.4 gallons more fuel capacity than the Crown Signia (15.9 vs. 14.5 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

Brakes and Stopping

For better stopping power the V60 Cross Country’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Crown Signia:

	V60 Cross Country	Crown Signia
Front Rotors	13.6 inches	12.9 inches
Rear Rotors	12.6 inches	12.5 inches

The V60 Cross Country stops shorter than the Crown Signia:

	V60 Cross Country	Crown Signia
70 to 0 MPH	179 feet	183 feet	Car and Driver

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the V60 Cross Country’s optional tires are larger than the largest tires available on the Crown Signia (245/40R20 vs. 235/45R21).

The V60 Cross Country’s optional tires provide better handling because they have a lower 40 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Crown Signia Limited’s 45 series tires.

The V60 Cross Country has a standard space-saver spare tire so you can replace a flat tire and drive to have the flat repaired or replaced. A spare tire isn’t available on the Crown Signia; it requires you to depend on roadside assistance and your vehicle will have to be towed.

Suspension and Handling

The V60 Cross Country Ultra handles at .85 G’s, while the Crown Signia Limited pulls only .82 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

For better maneuverability, the V60 Cross Country’s turning circle is 2.4 feet tighter than the Crown Signia’s (37.1 feet vs. 39.5 feet).

For greater off-road capability the V60 Cross Country has a 1.1 inches greater minimum ground clearance than the Crown Signia (7.8 vs. 6.7 inches), allowing the V60 Cross Country to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged.

Chassis

The Volvo V60 Cross Country may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 200 pounds less than the Toyota Crown Signia.

The V60 Cross Country is 5.6 inches shorter than the Crown Signia, making the V60 Cross Country easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

Passenger Space

The V60 Cross Country has .2 inches more front legroom, .6 inches more front hip room and 5.7 inches more rear hip room than the Crown Signia.

Cargo Capacity

A low lift-over trunk design makes loading and unloading the V60 Cross Country easier. The V60 Cross Country’s trunk lift-over height is 25.4 inches, while the Crown Signia’s liftover is 28 inches.

Towing

Standard Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) on the V60 Cross Country uses the Dynamic Stability and Traction Control sensors to detect trailer sway, then uses individual brakes to counteract any swaying and help keep the tow vehicle and trailer steady. The Crown Signia doesn’t offer electronic trailer sway control.

Servicing Ease

The V60 Cross Country uses gas struts to support the hood for easier service access. The Crown Signia uses a prop rod to support its heavy hood. It takes two hands to open the hood and set the prop rod, the prop rod gets in the way during maintenance and service, and the prop rod could be knocked out, causing the heavy hood to fall on the person maintaining or servicing the car.

Ergonomics

Unlike the driver-only memory seat and mirrors in the Crown Signia, the V60 Cross Country Ultra has a passenger memory, so that when drivers switch, the memory setting adjusts the driver’s seat and outside mirror angle and the front passenger seat also adjusts to the new passenger’s preset preferences.

The V60 Cross Country Ultra has a standard heads-up display that projects speed and navigation instruction readouts in front of the driver’s line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The Crown Signia doesn’t offer a heads-up display.

The V60 Cross Country’s rain-sensitive wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically based on the amount of rainfall on the windshield. This allows the driver to concentrate on driving without constantly adjusting the wipers. The Crown Signia’s standard intermittent wipers change speed with vehicle speed, but can’t turn on and off or change speed based on changing rainfall.

Heated windshield washer nozzles are standard on the V60 Cross Country to prevent washer fluid and nozzles from freezing and help continue to keep the windshield clear in sub-freezing temperatures. The Crown Signia doesn’t offer heated windshield washer nozzles.

In poor weather, headlights can lose their effectiveness as grime builds up on their lenses. This can reduce visibility without the driver realizing. The V60 Cross Country offers available headlight washers to keep headlight output high. The Crown Signia doesn’t offer headlight washers.

To help drivers avoid possible obstacles, the V60 Cross Country has standard cornering lights to illuminate around corners when the turn signals are activated. The Crown Signia doesn’t offer cornering lights. The V60 Cross Country also has standard adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle.

Manual rear side window sunshades are available in the V60 Cross Country to help block heat and glare for the rear passengers. The Crown Signia doesn’t offer rear side window sunshades.

The V60 Cross Country’s standard rear and side view mirrors have an automatic dimming feature. These mirrors can be set to automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on them, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver. The Crown Signia has an automatic rear view mirror, but its side mirrors don’t dim.

The V60 Cross Country offers optional massaging front seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging seats aren’t available in the Crown Signia.

Recommendations

The Volvo 60 Series outsold the Toyota Crown Signia by 71% during 2024.
