I have at present a 2021 V90 Cross Country Mild Hybrid B5 with 28,000 miles on the clock and the car will soon be out of its 3 year warranty period.

I have enjoyed the car and it is faultless but i always preferred a higher driving position. I now have the opportunity to buy a 2021 XC60 Inscription plus B5 mild hybrid with 23,000 miles on the clock, the deal is from a main dealer and includes a two year warranty and two free services.

it will cost me to change to the XC60. My question is will this be a good move is the XC superior to the V90, the dealer explained that the Cross country and indeed all estates will be phased out and the values are starting to drop now.

Any observations and comments will be welcome I am in a pickle at which way to go

Is there much height difference between a V90CC and an XC60?

I guess only you can answer if the change is what you need but the dealer is correct that all saloons and estates have been phased out in the UK market

From my perspective, the V90CC sits no higher than a P3 V70.

I'm not convinced that phasing out estate cars will lead to extra drop in values. I'd guess that the V will be worth more than the XC in 5+ years time, when it's likely to be rarer.

Can't both be right.
