Re: First edition with 4c suspension

Does it actually do what it says in the description or is it a smoke and mirrors feature. I assume the wallow that was felt in my test drive would be eradicated having the 4c option fitted, or would it? Guess we won’t know until people start taking deliveries of XC40’s with it fitted and can report ...
