Cross Country

Best Cross Country A cars

A class Cross Country is the home of the Festival Playlist's Unlimited Offroad championships (Country Living is the current one). Suspension travel, AWD traction and weight that can soak landings beat raw horsepower here. The picks below all sit natively in A class and survive the big jumps without bottoming out.

How we ranked these

Cross Country events score on average speed across mixed terrain plus jump sections, not corner apex. Long-travel offroad chassis, AWD and a wide power band are weighted over chassis stiffness or aero. Trucks and SUVs with race or rally-raid parts in their build lists rank highest; sleeper road cars sit in the honorable mentions.

01
2017 Ford 25 'Brocky' Ultra4 Bronco RTR, a A class car in Forza Horizon 6

AWD · Unlimited Offroad · 2041 kg · 600 bhp

Purpose-built Ultra4 chassis at A 644. Suspension travel is the asset here; landings that fold lesser builds barely register. Among the easiest cars in the game to drive at speed on Cross Country.

Strengths
  • Largest suspension envelope in A class
  • AWD with strong off-throttle composure
Weaknesses
  • Brakes need shoring up; stock package is the weak link FH6's new brake model exposes
02
2016 Jeep Trailcat, a A class car in Forza Horizon 6

AWD · Unlimited Offroad · 2087 kg · 707 bhp

Hellcat-swap Wrangler concept. Same suspension philosophy as the Bronco with more torque, slightly more weight, and a chassis that loves rotation out of slow corners.

Strengths
  • Best mid-corner rotation of the trucks
  • Massive torque carries through deep ruts
Weaknesses
  • Heavier nose; needs a soft front spring tune to stay flat over crests
03
2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, a A class car in Forza Horizon 6

AWD · Sports Utility Heroes · 2427 kg · 707 bhp

The cheat code A-class sleeper. Stock 707 hp and AWD; with offroad tyres and a suspension lift it punches above its weight on the long, fast Cross Country layouts.

Strengths
  • Endless straight-line speed for an A-class CC build
  • Stock AWD distribution is friendly under throttle
Weaknesses
  • 2427 kg of weight; big jumps and tight rhythm sections punish it
04
2019 Lamborghini Urus, a A class car in Forza Horizon 6

AWD · Sports Utility Heroes · 2200 kg · 641 bhp

Twin-turbo V8 AWD luxury super-SUV. The Urus rewards smoother inputs than the Trailcat or Trackhawk and is the fastest pick on the smoother Cross Country circuits.

Strengths
  • Best handling balance among the SUVs
  • Carries speed through long sweepers
Weaknesses
  • Less suspension travel than the rally-raid trucks; do not pick for the rough jump-heavy routes
05
2021 RJ Anderson 37 Polaris RZR Pro 4 Truck, a A class car in Forza Horizon 6

AWD · Unlimited Offroad · 1964 kg · 846 bhp

Pro 4 short-course truck. AWD, long-travel and 846 hp at 1964 kg. The fastest car on this list in a straight line on rough surface; trickier to drive than the Ultra4 Bronco at full throttle.

Strengths
  • Highest power-to-weight of the trucks
  • Built specifically for short-course CC layouts
Weaknesses
  • Twitchier balance under throttle; not a beginner pick

Honorable mentions

  • Trophy Truck spec at A 613 but RWD. Magical in the air, harder to keep tidy through technical sections than the AWD trucks. Pick when the event is jump-heavy.

  • Stock B class; tune up to A and you get a Dakar-grade chassis without the SUV weight. Borderline pick that may climb the list once meta settles.

  • Road-biased SUV. Suspension travel and tyre clearance are the limits; great for mixed Road/CC freeroam but the Trackhawk is the better A-class race pick.
