I have an MY21 XC60 B5 AWD (although I think the B4 does/did come with/without AWD) and after about 20,000 mile with 50/50 motorway/town journey, the lifetime trip mpg shows 35.7.
If in ECO mode, on a motorway, not using cruise and not driving like an 4rse....I can do 50mpg, but more commonly 45ish.
The dealer was very kind and let me test drive a B4P, B4D, B5P, B5D and a D5 pretty much one after another on a Saturday morning....and I would plump for the B engines every day. The smoothness of the stop/start sold it hands down, and in my "test" the B5D had the edge grunt-wise on the D5 - I actually plugged an OBD reader in, and found the same piece of straight dead end road, where I could just plant the throttle. Took measurements of 0-60 and 30-60. Sounds all very sad now....but I enjoyed it
