I've had a S60 d5 185 for a couple of years. Fuel economy is mid 40's, torque is superb, excellent for towing.

So it's a focus with a Volvo interior and possibly a Volvo engine dependant on variant.
P3 V and XC70s are Mondeo with Volvo interiors and engines dependant on varient.
Many jaguars were mondeo's in drag.
As I explained to a friend whom had a jag, my Mondeo had a Volvo D5 engine, his had a ford. He was so hacked off with this he chopped it in for a BMW.

As to the original question V70 D5 but get it polestared if towing, makes an excellent car superb.

As others have said the V70 D5 is the 1 for towing . I have had 2 of these because I tow a caravan as well and the V70 is a very stable car.

XC90 can tow also... the Ultimate P2 Volvo if you ask me.

You've missed the nuance of the post, I think
