I thought that the XC90 d5 power upgrade only brought it up to similar to the d5 fitted into the XC60 already?
From what I've read on the S60, the sat nav and radio info are combined. a bit like Audi, Landrover, Jaguar, etc. So if you don't have sat nav, you still get a nice screen to display all the radio info. The sat nav maybe touch screen as well.
Other than this, the S60 dash looks identical to the XC60.

Interestingly, even with the power upgrade the XC90 D5 isn't a match for the XC60 D5. The XC60's max torque is spread over a much wider rev range. 1500 - 3250 as apposed to 2000 - 2750 in the XC90. Even though both engines are called D5, there must be quite a lot of differences. I wonder why they can't just put the XC60 engine in the XC90?
