The timing belt for the 5 cyl is 120K mile intervals. The 3.2 engine has a timing chain(???) which does not need replacing.

Of course the mileage for the 5 cyl is much better than the 3.2, but the 6,000 lb truck is still bad Vs the V70 4200 lbs with better aerodynamics.

If you typically carry stuff on top of the car, watch out for garage clearance on the XC90!
