Plan to own a XC70 for a long time. I got two quotas from dealers last week. One is for AWD 3.2L Platinum $39884.0, the other is AWD T6 Platinum $42371.0. I saw some shared prices by others in autopriceshare are lower than mine. However, I think both are fair prices in my small city with limited choices... I compared the options difference between these two models and read some reviews about 2015 XC70. However, I believe that the opinions from current XC70 owners are more valuable, Could any friends here give me some suggestions, AWD 3.2L Platinum or AWD T6 Platinum? (I am living in WA)

 

I just bought a 2015.5 XC70 T6 a month ago. The dealer strongly advised against the 3.2. They said it's a leftover Ford engine that will not be in future models. I got the Volvo 3.0 inline 6 turbo, runs great. They said this will be the last 6 cylinder, next year the T6 will be a turbo 4 cylinder. Found out today you can get a dealer installed Polestar computer upgrade to 325 HP for $1500, which seems kind of pricey. I am very happy with the 300 HP T6, really moves out.

 

The 3.0 LT inline six is the same basic engine as the 3.2 LT inline six.
