Jeremy I’m just back with my mutt Malin from his morning constitutional… While the XC60 is laden with safety equipment, the automatic boot door is not as dog friendly as I thought it would be. For example, if I’m opening the boot on a busy road using the keyfob, I need to grab the dog’s lead before the door fully opens and he heads off into oncoming traffic. Closure involves pressing a button on the bottom of the doorframe. Fine? Well, it is if you don’t own a dog with a long tail. It’s similar to trying to close an overstuffed suitcase, without leaving any items poking out of the side. I spend an anxious few moments trying to keep his tail inside the boot before the lid locks in place. Malin thinks this is great fun and is now trying to stick his head out of the ever closing gap instead. Apart from that, automatic boot opening is brilliant. I see other shoppers watching with tailgate envy at the supermarket – so it must be good…
