Default Standard 5" Screen

I missed the deadline for changing things and am now stuck with the 5" screen in the XC60.

Can anyone give me any feedback on how useful/less this is?

Thanks

It would be a bit small for sat nav, but for the IFE and car settings, it's fine. It's reasonably sharp and has a good resolution.

Agreed... it's fine for the entertainment stuff and the parking sensors. Pretty sharp and clear.

You should be able to change it for the 7" , look in the accessory catalogue ...

It's all good. Don't worry about it.

The worse bit is that the surround looks disproportionate to the screen...but the screen is AOK for all the things it needs to do.

I have it as I could not justify the upgrade. It's okay but a car with aspirations and a healthy price tag should be looking for better than okay. It's a weakness and 7" should be standard. Don't beat yourself up though, it does the basics okay.
