My wife has an XC60 B5 Ultimate mild hybrid, and she really likes it. Traded out of a Mexican-built Explorer Sport. Yea. Was great... I have an XC40 T5, and it is FAF. The weird thing is, when people see you driving something fast and nice they don't try to race you, they don't cut you off or pull out in front of you. It's delightful to know that you can just tool along, but smoke most of the cars around you if you wanted to.

I love my 2024 Volvo XC 60 Ultimate Dark B5. Here are the differences that I’ve noticed. First off I have the most amazing NAPA leather with ventilated and massaging seats. Another difference between the B5 and the T8 is that the B5 ultimate has 4 zone climate control. That means that the rear passengers each get their own climate adjustments. It’s a touchscreen in the middle console where the T8 has the “Twinkie holder”. Even though the B5 is the base engine the ultimate dark package is really what I wanted and all of the extra features that come in the mild hybrid versus the plug-in hybrid .
