The X6 M60i offers active sway bars, which help keep it flat and controlled during cornering, but disconnect at lower speeds to smooth the ride and offer greater off-road suspension articulation. This helps keep the tires glued to the road on-road and off. The V90 Cross Country doesn’t offer an active sway bar system.
The front and rear suspension of the X6 uses coil springs for better ride, handling and control than the V90 Cross Country, which uses transverse leafs springs in the rear. Coil springs compress more progressively and offer more suspension travel for a smoother ride with less bottoming out.
The X6 M60i xDrive offers an available adjustable active suspension system, which counteracts cornering forces actively, limiting body roll and improving handling and stability. Volvo doesn’t offer an active suspension on the V90 Cross Country.
The X6 has a standard automatic load leveling suspension to keep ride height level with a heavy load or when towing. The V90 Cross Country doesn’t offer a load leveling suspension.
For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the X6’s wheelbase is 1.3 inches longer than on the V90 Cross Country (117.1 inches vs. 115.8 inches).
For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the X6 is 1 inch wider in the front and 2.2 inches wider in the rear than the average track on the V90 Cross Country.
For greater off-road capability the X6 has a greater minimum ground clearance than the V90 Cross Country (8.5 vs. 7.9 inches), allowing the X6 to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged.
