The first gen V60's are apparently a P3 chassis. I don't know about the second gen after 2018. I'm interested in 2011 to 2017.
What-all do they share with the P3 wagons and other models? Are the 5 cyl engines that same? I'm just reading about a 2012 model year engine failure issue - did the V70's and XC70's have this same problem with sludging and rings?
Thanks -

Learned a few things reading. I'd rather be after the 2014 facelift, and before the 2019 redesign for budget. If you stay newer than the reports of sludged-up rings, then you get into the 4-cylinder-only years. Very disappointed to find the 5-cyl white block was discontinued for the 2017 model year. Bummer.

Helpful data on model year differences. But I was under the impression that the "mild hybrid" was only on the V90, not on the V60 (re 2019 change).
Are 2019 thru 2022 the same?
So maybe the 2023 is another refresh, at least as far as infecting the navigation etc with google software?
