With a 1400kg van any xc90 is going to eat it with no problem, the problem as I see it is fuel consumption.
Petrol v diesel in the v70 range always made my eyes water. Reports of 25mpg from owners I knew from petrol while I could get 42mpg from my diesel and that was solo not towing.

It you go T8 , are you going to run premium E5 or standard E10?

I did look at changing tow car when the ulez areas came to the fore, looked at a land cruiser, seriously, £46,000 will pay a lot of £12.50s for the few times I will use ulez zones. Going to save a lot of money and stick with the euro 5 diesel xc70 I have.
