Drove my X5 after a week in my Wife's XC60!

So after spending a week partially 'running in' my wife's XC60 I made a few shocking (at least to me) discoveries. I have to say that, with the exception of the n57 straight six, I prefer the XC60. The ride feels slightly more compliant even though my X5 is no longer shod in those god awful run flat tires. The XC60 just seems to cope with broken surfaces just that little bit easier. Secondly, the Momentum seats are just superb, again, they just seem to pip those in the X5. The biggest surprise for me however was just how great Sensus is once you figure out how much can be done via voice commands.

Don't get me wrong, I love my BMW but I think Volvo has created something unique and very special with the SPA platform. I also find the hip point makes it far easier to get into.

I have to say I completely agree, having changed from my MY17 Lexus RX450h to an xc60 T5 inscription the in-car solution via sensus is absolutely superb.

This is a really special design
