Default XC60 T8 demo

My daughter (well, technically son in law to be via work) has an XC60 T8 Inscription Pro on demo currently - pic shows it sharing the parking space with my SQ5.

So far it seems to be getting the thumbs up - comfortable, refined, quick (not really necessary on the nursery run!), good with the baby, nice to be in and use, and good to look at (although I dont think silver is necessarily the best colour for it).

Going to try and pinch a drive tonight or tomorrow - its on fleet insurance so anyone can drive at the address!

Makes an interesting comparison to the Audi too - suspect a little better on fuel and a little quicker, much better for company car BIK tax (the reason they are looking at it) but doesnt sound as nice and about 8k more expensive as a T8!

Nice, I think they have done a better job with the back of the XC60 than the XC90. Hoping that a facelift brings the rear lightly into the boot lid on the XC90.

And I have to say, personally I think in looks better from behind than the Audi! Sorry!

Its a good looking car - no doubt about that, and I think it looks better than the XC90 too...

As for rear view, wouldn't do for us all to be the same. I didn't really put a picture up expecting much praise for the Audi!
