It is the rear door arrangement which really puts me off the XC60. All the 5hit from the road gets flung into the rear edge of the rear door. If you look in the wheelarch you can even see the rubber of the rear door seal. I cant see how this will be durable and also it must be really easy to get mucky when getting in......

I have recently gone from MY16 XC90 R-Design to a MY XC90 R-Resign Pro, both D5, MY19 is powerpulse, MY16 wasn’t, oh and I have polestar on the new one. The car looks the same but how different they feel to drive. The new one on 22” wheels and air compared to 20” coils, but it’s all so much quieter and so so much smoother to drive. The same car in essence but the difference is night and day, so much moves on with existing tech that you only see with a new car. I had a hire XC60 while mine was being repaired last year and loved it, felt more like the MY19 90 than the MY16.
Happy motoring

What about them? Do they not go down all the way due to the wheel arch intrusion?

The windows go to about 3” from the bottom. Far enough for the kids but not as nice as been in the back of an XC90...

I mean I went from XC60 to XC90 and I would still probably say on balance, the XC60 is the slightly better looking car of the two (in R-Design trim for the XC90 and Inscription Pro for the XC60 so not an exact pairing).
Neither the XC60 or the XC90 are the best looking 4x4s in my humble opinion but they are both good looking SUVs. I can't speak for any engines other than T8 variants, the XC90 is slower than the XC60 but it feels less front driven in the more powerful modes which I like. I wouldn't specifically single one or the other out as being distinctly better in my opinion but again that's just me!

I might be a bit biased given owning one, but of all the SPA's, I think the XC90 is the best looking by far. I've got a bursting blue R-Design in 2017 form, so again, think it looks the part Each to their own naturally. I also think it holds it ground against X5 and Q7 in the looks department, and I prefer to the XC90 out of all 3 to be honest. Swedish looks I guess rather than Germanic function.
I like the looks of the V90 from the front and sides, but the rear lights just don't sit well with me. Ditto S90. XC60 also looks fine from front and side, but rear also doesn't seem right. It's the lights again, just don't like them. I just can't get on with the inwards design towards the number plate. V60 doesn't seem too bad, but having had one as a courtesy car, the front interior space is cramped. It also felt a bit "plastic" compared to the XC90. S60 looks quite nice, but I suspect will also suffer from cramped interior. XC40 is just a sort of mini-SUV - doesn't look too bad for what it is, but is down a class. I expect if the V60 feels "plastic", I'm sure the XC40 will be the same. Last edited by soupytwister; Jun 15th, 2019 at 01:07. |

Well you can do whatever you want, this a free democratic forum and all comments are valid but to be honest, your comparison makes no difference. It's useless and a complete nonsense.
