Did you know about the EGR problem when you bought yours? |

I've got the V70 D4 auto with the 8 speed box and also have a 2014 XC60 D5 AWD auto with the 6 speed box. They are both great but different. The XC60 is far more responsive coming out of bends, the power always seems to be there but it does have Polestar. I find the V70 D4 is quite hesitant when you come to a roundabout braking and then accelerate on as if it's in the wrong gear. Other than that it's very smooth a surprisingly quick. |

ACC would be very useful in France where the countryside speed limit has dropped to 80km/hour. It will help you to be protected from Macron's tax collectors even when the car in front accelerates away.
ACC is great for minimising speeding tickets - if used correctly. Revrsing camera is esential for a car the size of an XC60.

Funnily enough I have cruise on my T5 here and never use it in the 80s. It's such a ridiculous speed limit that very few are keeping to it. Most of the cameras have been vandalised thanks to the gillet jaunes. It's also just been published that the number of deaths hasn't dropped in the first 6 months. Far worse here is texting or chatting on the phone while driving. |

Considering Purchasing a XC60
Hi all new to this forum.
I'm considering changing my car from a Jaguar XF to a Volvo XC60. Having had a couple of electronic issues with the Jaguar, is there any issues with the XC60 I should consider before purchase? Not fully sure what XC60 variation to go for yet, I need a vehicle to pull a large caravan. Has anyone out there got any tips please? |

The AWD D5 will pull it well but is the most thirsty if going for an auto the FWD and AWD have different gearboxes (depends on year) the later VEA D4 had some get cooler issues so make sure has been fixed, what sort of years are you looking at?
Most will tow around 2000kg if you want to tow more more then look at the 90 |

I've a 2015 D5 AWD Auto with all of the toys you mention bar the reversing camera.
ACC is great on long motorway/dual carriageway trips BLIS is also great for long trips when the concentration may drop. I think the BLIS & ACC are both in the driver support pack to indeed gives you the protection when reversing out of spaces, also lane keeping warning & driver alert. I've also got the speed camera recognition & distance/collision warning which came as part of the driver support package. My previous XC60 had none of the driver support stuff & standard cruise control, my 2nd just takes everything to another level.
