I see. Well, I was referring specifically to the XC40 since this forum is about the XC40.
Yes I know, but the OP was talking about G-A coming to the XC40, the experiences of other people having problems
on XC60 and V90 is, I think, very relevant.

Re: XC40 facelift coming?

Who told you that «  in spite of having 4 USB ports, not one of them will play music from a USB stick  » ?? Please read the XC40 manual page 487 under « USB Memory » and pages 493 plus 494. I was referring specifically to XC60 and V90 with the Google Android, though relevant here as people were tal...

Re: XC40 facelift coming?

S60 and V60 don't have new Google Android system either. Biggest issue I have, apart from the basic reliability/operability problems, is these allegations that in spite of having 4 USB ports, not one of them will play music from a USB stick. No one yet come out with definitive statement about whethe...

Re: Climate @ 21c Should I be getting heat?

OK, declaring I currently drive a Ford Fiesta. 21c in moderate climate is fine. In winter on my 10 mile commute, heat tails off too soon, put it up to 24. Accept that 24 would get too hot on a longer run. In hot summer need to turn it back to 18 or 19. Sometmies think I'd be happier with a manual sy...

Re: Lync&Co, the cheaper Volvo XC40

I rather like it, but standard pano roof with no option to delete means I will not have one.

Re: Dim Dipped Headlights

I think this was how Volvo got round Eu law saying rear lights were not to be on with DRL.

I believe things are more relaxed now, with Renault and SEAT for example, with LED rears rather than filament having them on with DRL.
Rear lights on with DRL is known as Scandinavian Mode.

Re: Spare Wheel for T5 Recharge Hybrid

I believe the recharge can take a spare wheel because it is front wheel drive only. The bigger Volvos have the rear electric motor under the boot floor. Do not know about the full electric Xc40.
