I do like true M's, an affordable mix of luxury comfort and ultimate drive, but opted for 300+ inline V6's for current leases rather than pay a premium at the tank without regular opportunity to truly enjoy the added power (LA traffic). My profile shows current vehicles.

If you need 3 rows the T8 is the only way to go. I have read owners of T8's get 40 - 45 average mpg or more which is amazing. Not sure what the 40e average mpg is. Also the Pilot Assist on the XC90 is a great feature not sure if available on 40e? Both cars are great just a personal preference which you like better and if you need 7 seats etc.

The xdrive40e does not have Traffic Jam Assistant in the states. Its get a max of 22 miles all electric and will average around 56 mpg in hybrid mode. You lose 3rd row option with electric engine. Not sure if there will be Hybrid G07.
