S60 Pre/Post-Facelift - spec and lane keeping query

Blue Oval · Dec 10th, 2018, 10:25

Hi all,

Just following on from my recent mention that my mate has bought an S90, I've now got really itchy feet with mine. His car is stunning and I wants it.

Unfortunately, the budget won't stretch to an S90 but it will stretch to a 2012-2014 S60 at a push.

Adaptive Cruise and Geartronic are bare minimum spec for me. So the questions I've got

1) Is the lane keeping proper *active* lane keep assist like on the S90? If so, is this limited to the facelift model, or do all S60's with lane keeping do it?

2) If it's not active lane keeping, what is it? Just a buzzer that goes off if I stray over the white line?

3) What advantages does the facelift bring over pre-facelift? I'm struggling to find really clear comparison photos but I think the newer one has better dash instruments? More fancy graphics etc?

4) The D4 seems to have a lot more choice than the D5 but only marginally less power, and I'd guess, more real world economy? (Edit to add - I'm referring to the D4 190 - there seem to be two versions kicking about, some with just 160bhp)

5) Any other general advice please?
