The new XC60 (but we don't know exactly when it will hit the UK showrooms) with the D5 VEA (which surely they must have 100% sorted by then) must be up there on any premium SUV shortlist. Without getting into the debate on the absence of a 5/6 cylinder in future Volvo cars, a 225bhp / 470Nm torque VEA in an XC60 body will be quite adequate for most drivers. Certainly as good as any of the competitor 2-litre offerings. For the few who seek more, then there are the alternatives already discussed. I suppose it all comes down to when Arianne wants to change, and there will 'always be something new round the corner'.
