2019 xc90 T8 reliability and purchase advice

[tatased]

Hi all

After a long search for the right colour and spec I have come across a xc90 T8 19 plate which fits my criteria perfectly.
Is this an ideal model year or does it suffer ERAD problems or the like ?
Are there any significant differences between MY18-19-20 ?
Is there anything else I should be aware of ?

Thanks

The biggest difference of note is that the MY20 cars were treated to a bigger 11.6Kwh battery as opposed to the MY18 & MY19's smaller 10.4Kwh battery. This gives the later cars a slightly better electric only range.
I believe that the MY20 cars may also have a faster Sensus processor too but I could be wrong on that one.

As for the ERAD, I believe the later cars are supposed to have a slightly better/more reliable ERAD compared to the earlier cars but I don't know what MY that came about.
I have a MY20 T8 and havent had any major ERAD issues yet but saying that, it has recently started making some interesting noises so will be getting it into the dealer have it looked at soon.
