New 2022 XC40 EV Facelift

It doesn't seem to have been announced yet, but the new 'C40-style' XC40 facelift is now Live on the Volvo website. The Pro is now called Ultimate, and it's got the new sealed grille and Pixel LEDs from the C40, and the new smaller headlights and revised front bumper. There's also a new wool interio...

Re: Model line-up change !

I think this is happening because of a pending Facelift in 2022... Based on the fact that the XC40 and XC90 are the only models which have not been upgraded to the new Android Automotive system (and we know the XC90 is being replaced next year) that leaves the XC40 as the oldest model which has not ...

Re: Poll: Which engine/transmission are you looking at, or have purchased?

This was not an option on here, but I've got the P8 Recharge First Edition (which has every available option as standard) - Bursting Blue with Black Leather. Love it! Great choice Daniel. Did your FE come with the Active Four-C suspension? Seems as though very few XC40s have it, and I wonder what y...

Re: XC40 facelift coming?

I, for one, think it's WAY overdue that Volvo replace the halogen rear bulbs with LEDs, for example. Really? That's not much of a facelift is it...hardly likely to appeal to the masses or be of any use in the real world. Some would say there is already a facelift given how much has been removed fro...

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 wheth...

Re: XC40 facelift coming?

From what I read the Volvo Android Automotive system has a along way to go and is full of problems. Volvo have been accused of launching a work in progress - Tesla may get away with that but a lot of Volvo customers are not happy. If a facelift XC40 is updated to AA any time soon, I'd be wary. I ow...

XC40 facelift coming?

As the XC40 is now the oldest model in Volvo's lineup without having had a facelift/refresh, do we think it's due one soon? The XC40 (ICE) and XC90 were the only models not to get the new Android Automotive system for MY22, and we know the XC90 is being replaced next year with an all-new model. Does...

Re: Delivery Times for XC40 Recharge Twin full electric

Sadly dealers don't always know, and things are changing so quickly from week-to-week with this microchip shortage, that they're scared of giving incorrect information! I have a contact at Volvo UK who gave me the most up to date info. If you ordered a Plus, you'd get it within a month, but as you s...

Re: Leather vs. Textile Seats on Recharge Twin Pure Electric

I would recommend the Nubuck (suede) and Leather seats, they're fantastic, much nicer than textile, but harder wearing than full leather. I'd have got them if I ordered the Pro, but I got the First Edition instead which only had Full Leather.
