V90 D4 R-Design...
Morning
I have an opportunity through work to opt into a company vehicle, never before in my entire life at hitting nearly 40 next month have i been in this position. Bearing in mind my family and i only have older Volvos, my mum a 2003 V70 D5, we have a 2009 XC90, 1996 850R and my wifes 2007 C70 D5 SE LUX. I never thought id own a brand spanker of a volvo! As we are keen caravaners , currently have a 2008 Abbey Spectrum twin axle weighing in at 1490kg, the XC90 tows with ease, but with a work car i cannot justify to keeping the XC as well. Im looking at a new V90 D4 R-Design, does anyone own one of these and can give some feedback on how it performs when towing etc. Specifically how they ride, perform, does the lack of self levelling mean the V90 sits on its arse (yes i know it depends on how the outfit is loaded) Really interested in peoples views Thanks Rich |

Why not go for a D5/B5 engine?

I used to tow a 1500kg Elddis Affinity 540 with my V90 D4 Inscription - it's an excellent tow car and you won't be left wanting. Go for it would be my recommendation....just don't forget that it'll be about a grand for the semi-electric towbar (but what a great towbar it is!).

Honestly, Volvo should retire the B4 engine options in the flagship 90-series. If you look at what’s happening to the S90 (T8 only) perhaps we are already headed that direction.
