Shall I or not
I have at present a 2021 V90 Cross Country Mild Hybrid B5 with 28,000 miles on the clock and the car will soon be out of its 3 year warranty period.
I have enjoyed the car and it is faultless but i always preferred a higher driving position. I now have the opportunity to buy a 2021 XC60 Inscription plus B5 mild hybrid with 23,000 miles on the clock, the deal is from a main dealer and includes a two year warranty and two free services. My question is how do the two compare when it comes to towing the XC60 has air suspension my V90 doesn't. I have to say My V90 hasn't caused any frights when towing except for the odd wiggle on the motorway due to passing trucks. My caravan is a Swift Conqueror with a laden weight of 1650K Any observations and comments will be welcome I am in a pickle at which way to go

My limited experience of air suspension which was on a Discovery and Range Rover is it transforms towing, especially when nose heavy.
Also, being able to adjust the ride height (not sure if you can do that on the Volvo) helps sometimes to balance multi-axle trailers.

Air suspension on our V90 R-Design is a total dream for towing, compared to may dads old V90 R-Design which used to pitch quote badly when he towed
If you love the car, why not get the air suspension retro fitted by Volvo, I know it wont be cheap but even so it could be an option |
