It is not a "T5" engine, it is a 2.5T engine which has a light pressure turbo to bring the bhp to 208. At 70mph and up hill, it will strain. the XC90 is still heavy with a lot of frontal area to mess up the coefficient of drag, even though the FWD version is a few hundred pounds lighter than the AWD.

Most of the 2.5T did not come with a 3rd row seat.

I prefer the V70, with better mpg and more storage.
