I blame you, the public with your SUV-obsessed buying habits for killing the much-loved wagon.

Wagon is no longer a fashionable word and we have to use idiom to disguise the infinite practicality of a sedan-based fun machine. Arteon Shooting Brake comes from a long lineage of British poshness where people went into the countryside and killed things for fun. V60 Cross Country has more than a whiff of grand exploration so this pair had better live up to their promises.
Exteriors
Both the VW and Volvo have sexy-esque looks that belie their multi-use ability.
Arteon is slightly more handsome, with its slinky, low-slung body that begs to take a load in the back. It took the sedan to places you’d not expect of a tourer. The Volvo is also long, but doesn’t look as low however the VW is slightly taller. Looks can be deceiving.
Neither is intended to perform the testosterone-laden task thrown at a full-on SUV, so they can afford to concentrate on being elegant instead.
Both are covered in cameras and sensors, and both are AWD with fancy motorised rear hatches, and Matrix Led headlights.
The Volvo has Thor’s Hammer DTRLs, while the Arteon’s highlight is its gorgeous pillarless windows. Arteon’s tail lights do a little dance as the car awakens, while the Volvo illuminates most of the D pillar in radiant LED glamour.

    Great review, although my beef with the volvo is over-digitzation - as an example for heated seats I need to touch the touchscreen several times . I have a shared menu for heated steering wheel and drivers seat, so need to wait for the pop up window- with small buttons on the touchscreen. Very annoying. Arteon still has dedicated buttons for climate control. Carplay also often collides with the infotainment and I keep re-pressing that I want radio, but the selector is small and I end up pressing the wrong field while driving.
