The XC60 has a compliant ride that dials
out body roll through a corner.
Not exact matches
As it turns
out, the lower center of gravity afforded by the floor - mounted battery pack more than makes up for the extra mass, and the Kia Soul EV exceeds expectations with its stable, planted set

body roll.
There's more
body roll than I'd expected, considering spring rates are up by 33 percent at the front and 38 percent
out back over the Focus ST.. But that only enhances the feedback that pours back

corner with confidence and pinpoint accuracy.
Sitting as it does 15 mm lower, there's very little
body roll from the GTS as it's chucked
through bends, either, and there's genuine enjoyment to be had from balancing the throttle mid
corner, experimenting with the car's willing rear axle and firing yourself
out the other side and on to the next challenge.
