1st Impressions of my new XC60 T5
After a 5 month gestation period, my new XC60 T5 Inscription Pro finally arrived yesterday.
Initial impressions after one day are that Volvo have definitely made a massive upmarket change with this new model and having owned two previous 1st Generation XC60 D5’s this model is more than an equal for the Germanic BMW/Audi’s ranges. I am mighty impressed and believe Volvo have a world beater with this 2nd Generation XC60 range and honestly cannot find anything to fault the car so far which for me as a perfectionist is a surprise.......!!! Couple of photo’s attached.

Well, you are going to be in for a very big pleasant surprise on the 24th when you return to the UK especially as we have almost identical specs......

The exterior Looks very nice, much nicer than our "boxy" XC90!
I do like the interior of the XC90 somewhat better, less glossy black surfaces and vents. This is, of course, a merely personal opinion

I was delighted to find the wheels that my dealer downgraded me from the std 20” to a set of 19” swapped from a showroom T8 were shod in MICHELIN LATITUDE Sport 3’s which are more fit for purpose on an SUV than some of the alternatives out there!

Picked up my XC90 yesterday and that has the Latitude sport 3 tyres (20").My last Momentum XC90 had the Pirelli tyres on 19" rims. The Michelins seem to hold the road better and there is less lean on the corners. I have not noticed any problem with road noise with the bigger wheel either.

I don't/can't buy a new car every few years, and it's not only about looks
But if the new XC60 would have been available, the choice could have been in favor of it.
