I currently have an XC60 on lease. I'm considering buying it as my current plan was to buy another outright.

I really like the XC60 it's my second Volvo and does a good job as the main family car. When I got this one it was already built so while it wasn't a deal breaker it didn't have the adaptive cruise control that the V90 CC I had previous to this had. I'm starting to think if I'm going to go for another XC60 that it's better the devil you know as I've had it for almost 3 years and kept it serviced etc.

There's nothing conclusive online but I'll try and call the dealer later this week.

I'm 99% sure adaptive cruise will need additional hardware installed, and that it'll be prohibitively expensive to do so in comparison to simply buying another car that has it.

Cheers. On the face of it the intellisafe box which is built around the rear view mirror looks the same as the previous V90 which had it, plus there is some sort of radar/sensors in the front for collision avoidance.

Cheap bds should have just put it in rather than making it an option.....

I cant comment specficaially, but was told by our local dealer than adaptive cruise is one of the things that cant been retrofitted to a V60 II so I expect the XC60 is the same.

Annoyingly, while its standard on the V90 and XC90 its optional on the smaller cars, and seemly rairly spec'ed
At one point I was told the ACC is often packaged with BLIS (which you can see in photos of the car mirrors) but it later appeared you can have BLIS without ACC.

We ended up going with a ex Volvo U K (KW plate) T4 having failed to find a D4 with ACC. We do however love the car!
Heated seats, steering wheel, as well.
