Sveriges Volvoforum

Hi Everyone,
I have recently moved to Sweden and in order to be fully integrated I must buy a volvo

After much argument with the wife (she won), we are settle on a XC60.

We live in the country side around Torsby, so I think a AWD is a must for the winter.

But I would like some advice on the engine.

Our driving habits are as follow:
- school - 20km,
- supermarket 2 times a week - 50km (country roads 80km/h),
- We also take long drives, must go to DK once every 2 months, plus vacations to the far north.

I like the idea of a t6 recharge, I can see that it would be cheaper for the shorter trips and on tax, but I am afraid of too much depreciation, since tech is always changing, so who will want to buy an xc60 recharge that is 10 years old.

Another options would be the B4/5 diesel or gasoline, what do you guys have to say about this?

And it will not be a new car, the diesel and gasoline we probably could afford something with around 2/3 years old and around 40 000km, but the t6 it would have to be above 70 000km.

is a 100 000km t6 still reliable?

Looking forward for the answers
Tack så mycket

Based on your driving pattern and financial circumstances, if I were in your position, I would buy an XC60 B4 diesel. While the XC60 T6 Recharge is ideal as your daily driving could be covered by electric power, in your case it would likely be a model from before late 2022 with the smaller battery. It’s unclear if your daily drives could be fully covered by this.

For the price of an XC60 Recharge, you could get a mild hybrid diesel, which is the most fuel-efficient option between petrol and diesel.

So, my advice is to look for a well-equipped XC60 B4 diesel with AWD.
