Default V60 T6 / T8 or XC60 T8?

hi all

I've never owned a Volvo but have just sold an Audi RS4 Avant, and really fancy a V60. I'm looking for some advice from those experienced in the marque, please
  • I fancy a car that is comfortable but not too shabby in performance when required
  • I think therefore I'd prefer Inscription to R-Design
  • I don't want a diesel
  • I've had a Range Rover in the past and found it ridiculously too large, so fancy estate car over SUV
  • I'll be buying cash, would rather go for newer / lowish mileage

Should I be looking at T8 V60s or is the T6 plug in hybrid a decent alternative? I'm not sure about the differences other than T6 is lower in power

The XC60 might be a better fit though I actually prefer estate cars to SUVs - though if the V60 gets canned in a year or two, what would that do to resale values etc

Initially, I thought I'd want to go nearly-new / 9-12mo old / < 5k miles, on the basis that I'd probably keep it for ~8 years or so. I like blue cars, and I think I prefer Bursting Blue to Denim Blue, though I've not seen either up close TBH...

What would you advise? Thanks in advance! Ewan
