I love the dash, finally no more blinkin floating console. Great at first but kept far too long. Also good to see the EPB where it should have been all along.

Handsome and prestige car.

Looks like a great interior and good to finally have a much better range of engines to pick from.

Rear looks pretty similar to existing model, but somewhat more squared-off and less pronounced shoulders.

Just came around 2 years too late for me.

Be interesting to see the pricing for one with reasonable spec.

£50K sounds rather a lot for an 4-cyl XC60.

I see that the new Range Rover Velar charges a whopping £9K if you want to go from 180bhp to 240bhp.

Merce charges £1.2K to go from 170bhp to 204bhp in the GLC, or 6K to go from 170bhp to the 260bhp 6-cyl.

Certainly looks very good, but pricing is going to be key for many trying to keep below £40k.

190BHP Momentum Pro with metallic paint just creeps in under the £40K. Looks like this will be a common selection for the lower VED.

You can't get the 235bhp desiel engine in that configuration, however, for the ones that you can get it in, it's an extra £7.5K !

Looks like I am the only one who does like the new shape. Like bits of interiors, centre console, display panel ..definitely not gear knob.

For me it looks like design teams tried too hard. Side door panel Kia'isqe....I am hoping this crashes old model prices.
