The number plate positioning is weird and the showroom cars don't have them. So be careful and ensure you like the look.

Neither will handle like the Porsche or Jaguar. But they are both positioned in a slightly different niche within the SUV segment from the Macan and F-Pace. I would be tempted by the XC90, it's just the engine now I have had three years with the 4cyl unit...... and that XC90 is a heavier car too.

Enjoy your dilemma.

I'm not sure the weight is much different Arianne. At least not compared to my XC60 D5 AWD version.
