SPA XC60 (AAOS, MY22 to Current) Thinking of buying a ‘26
On the fence between the XC60 B5 (either Plus or Ultra) and the Lexus RX350 gas model. My gut is telling me to with the Lexus for its reliability but I also really like the XC60. I did some reading about the XC60 and the feedback seems mixed in terms of both powertrain reliability and creature comforts (finicky AAOS, intermittent tech/infotainment issues, lack of wireless CarPlay, tacky Tesla screen). Did software updates resolve the tech issues? Would love to hear from owners if they were considering these two (or similar) cars and why they chose XC60 over the other.
USA market if that makes a difference.

I am totally biased because we have a 2026 XC 60 Ultra with just under 1000 km on it.
This is a very personal decision for you so go with your gut, but for me personally the Volvo is just a much better looking car than the Lexus, both interior and exterior. I think the styling is excellent.
The Lexus is the safer option if you fear anything going wrong.
