Hi,
Other than the turbo motor are there any other substantial differences between the basic 3.2 XC 70’s and the T6 xc70’s. I don’t really care about options or trim stuff, I’m more interested if there are stiffer springs, bigger brakes, things like that. I guess my main question would be “does the T6 have a more performance oriented suspension or other parts”? ( I understand that none of these are really performance oriented).
Thank you oh wise Volvo masters!

The major difference is that the 3.2 was built with a choice of AWD or FWD.

The T6s are only AWD.

The driving experience is noticeably different -- I suggest you test drive one of each before deciding.

Thank you,
I am only looking for AWD, I know the T6's are quite a bit faster. According to my research the 3.2 would accelerate about as fast as my wife's 2006 Impreza and my 2011 Chrysler Town & Country POS, (0-60 8.1 seconds) and the T6 about as fast as her 2015 Audi Q5, (0-60 6.4 or so). It's funny because my old 2000 xc 70 kinda' split the difference.

Of course I'd rather get the faster car but I could live with the slower if the handling was the same, Handling is more important to me. I drove a regular 3.2 for a short bit, not very far and it did seem rather ponderous. Compare to my stupid Minivan my old xc felt like a sports car. (Again, I realize all things are relative and these are NOT sports cars, I have my old Alfa for that)
