The 6-speed auto box is very smooth and the D5 AWD engine a dream on our XC60, absolutely love it. Sure the 8-speed auto will be even smoother but don't let that stop you should you find a good deal on a D5 model.
I find having the AWD more reassuring in all road conditions although only a personal opinion.

May not help the OP too much - but we have the sublime BMW 8 speed in a F10 5 series and then the 6 speed in a D5 XC60 AWD and whilst the BMW box is the best auto I've ever driven (never hunts - unlike say the new £60k Touareg box which is shocking) I don't mind the XC60 at all - its still fairly smooth and doesn't half motor if you put your foot down.

There is a downhill left turn when you slow down, and take a left at some lights (Queens Road, Bradford). My Volvo used to 'clunk' into 2nd gear every single time I used this turn (every day). I got used to it and thought, oh well it's a 6 speed. It did it every single time, but I accepted it. I got my car serviced earlier in the week at Volvo. Guess what? The car no longer clunks on that left turn. I assume the gearbox software was updated during the service? Anyway, that was my only slight annoyance with the 6 speed box. And that has been rectified now. So, happy days

interesting ,,, I suspect the dealer themselves are saying It was sealed for life not Volvo UK … Volvo have never said or published anything to say it was sealed for life . I have not heard anything official about an oil change at 5 years either , although it is a good idea .

I had both D5 2009 and D4 2014. Too many issues with the D4. The D5 never missed a beat..........worth the extra fuel IMHO......
