XC60 D5 vs T8 Thoughts

[DangerMUK]

Hey Guys,

Just got given a loaner XC60 R-Design Pro D5 AWD and I've got an Inscription Pro T8 AWD.

Whilst the T8 definitely has more power (mine also has the Polestar upgrade where as this loan car doesn't), the AWD system in the D5 feels a lot better handling wise and through the steering wheel. Not sure if its a T6/T8 thing but maybe 300bhp through the front wheels just feels like that even with the electric motors at the back on the T8 variants - not sure.

Otherwise, I personally prefer the Inscription seats to the R-Design seats, but on the other hand prefer the fact you can get black headlining with black seats in the R-Design model and can't on the Inscription.

Noticed the wheel has gearshift paddles as well, never even knew that was an option!

Both are really cool cars though, was surprised how "AWD" the D5 feels compared to my T8! Shame they don't do a T6 AWD in the UK would be a nice car to test.
