Hi Everyone, I was wondering whether any of you have taken delivery of a new XC90 with the B5 mild hybrid, and if so what are your first impressions? I’m guessing that you should not feel or notice anything different, as the KERS system will be just doing its thing in the background. Presumably, it just gives you a little push on initial start off and acceleration? I’ve also heard a rumour that it might be noisier at idle, though I cannot quite see why that might be. Am just about to take the plunge and order one, after 9 very happy and trouble free years with a XC70. I tow a caravan @ 1800kgs, so for me the diesel remains the only true option. Any first impressions out there to reassure or guide me? Thanks
