I have the 20” wheels on the XC60 and was concerned that the ride would be hard, but I was really surprised at the smooth ride around the country lanes of Suffolk.
You definitely need to road test an XC40 on the 20” wheels and try one with 18” or 19” wheels to compare.
With regard to tyre prices, you should look on Oponea, Black Circles, MyTyres or the many other web based tyre suppliers to get an idea of current prices. If you want to put winter tyres on 20” wheels, there will not be as much choice as the smaller wheels.
Hope that helps.
