Should I downsize my Volvo?
Hi I was thinking of downsizing from my xc90 to an Xc 60 The only reason I was going to downsize was if the cost of running the car was cheaper But I got a quote for the tax and it’s the same They’re both a 2 litre engine .. so I’m wondering is there any advantage to me downsizing or should I stick with what I’ve got Thanks
Our answer:
Hi Anne,
The tax might be the same, but the smaller XC60 should be lighter on fuel, depending on your driving style. It may also be cheaper to insure and it will be easier on items such as tyres and brakes, so maintenance costs should be reduced. Overall, we'd expect there are savings to be made.
