Volvo V90 T8 R Design Hybrid or V60 Polestar Hybrid

Buying nearly new. How do these compare for practicality : driving experience ratio?

Cheers.

V90 looks the business, the V60 is nice too, but the bigger V90 just embodies the Volvo estate tradition.

That's a tricky one, but I think given the choice I'd ultimately end up going for the V60 Polestar. It'll be noticeably quicker in terms of acceleration, and will handle better. It also has a slightly better battery range, and under petrol power will deliver better economy.

The only downside compared to the V90 is the practicality, but the V60 is a practical car, and only your situation will determine if the extra boot space or rear leg room is going to be used regularly, or is essential.

You're not loosing that much on the boot space on paper. I've a V90 and went for it at I wanted something at 6'4" I could pretty much have the seat right back and have room for an isofix base and childs seat behind me.

Otherwise I expect the seats, dash and eveything else is the same as per across the range. Very comfortable on a long journey, Ive a T5 V90. The economy is ste for the performance so while I'd have another one ot would have to be something that at least half justified the ste economy. Ive been lookong at the XC90 T8.
