Hi. Expecting in Nov. looking for xc60. Love either preowned or new 2015.5

What are the downsides to the t6 vs t5

Also. What really does the ocean race edition get you?

Thanks

Kristin

 

For 18 months and 22K miles I drove a 14 T6AWD here in Atlanta. I wanted to trade up to a loaded 16 Platinum and all I could find were T5 front drive. The T5 was quicker than the T6 I think mainly due to the Eight Speed Transmission in the T5. So far I have not noticed any real difference. The T6 felt heavier.The gas mileage is better with the T5. I'm extremely pleased. The Ocean Race has a slight different look,front and rear fascias,wheels, tires and suspension.Special Badging The engine is higher performance. It's named after a round the World Yacht race held every three years. T6 300 HP with 6 speed trans. T5 240 HP with 8 speed trans, both turbo charged

 

FYI Dealers are discounting New 2015.5 quite a bit. New may be a better deal!

 

I like my T-5 figgure 5 cyl. engine may last longer, is the T-6 a ford engine I believe.
Now China owns all Greely I believe is name may not spelled it right. So difference is 1 mi. per gallon and few thousand more for less fuel mpg. vs V6.
