2016 Subaru Outback vs 2016 Volvo V60 Design
The 2016 Outback simply offers a more versatile design that makes daily driving or outdoor adventures easier and more enjoyable. With a significantly higher maximum cargo volume, everything will fit more comfortably in the 2016 Outback than in the V60, and more passenger volume means everyone will be more comfortable, too. The 2016 Outback also offers a more comprehensive cold weather package that includes a windshield wiper de-icer, a feature you'll be happy to have once a Colorado snowstorm hits. You'll also be thankful to have the 8.7 inches of ground clearance offered by the 2016 Outback instead of the 5.3 inches of the V60 whether you need to take on rough mountain roads or neighborhood snow drifts.

2016 Subaru Outback vs 2016 Volvo V60 Performance
While both models feature 4-wheel disc brakes, independent front and rear suspension, and more, the V60 simply can't keep up with the innovative engineering of the 2016 Outback. Every Subaru Outback comes standard with the horizontally opposed Subaru BOXER® engine that drastically lowers its center of gravity to provide incredible handling and reduced road vibrations. With a standard smooth-shifting continuously variable transmission instead of the 8-speed automatic of the V60, the 2016 Outback makes easy, enjoyable work of any road. What's more, the 2016 Outback is a more environmentally friendly Partial Zero Emission Vehicle, so you'll feel better about driving it than the V60.

2016 Subaru Outback vs 2016 Volvo V60 Safety
Nothing compares to the safety of a Subaru. The 2016 Outback offers standard features that require costly upgrades to get on the V60, like Subaru symmetrical all-wheel drive. This advanced all-wheel drive system comes standard on the 2016 Outback and gives you more confidence in every drive throughout the tough Colorado winters or through mountain adventures. You simply can't get peace of mind like this from the standard front-wheel drive of the V60. The 2016 Outback also has a longer powertrain warranty than the V60, so you can rest assured that you have the backing of the Subaru brand no matter where you're headed.
