Bonnet lid.....

Just wondering whether the XC40 comes with gas struts when you open it or just the metal bar?
In videos I have seen the gas struts but in the manual it shows the bar!

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

Fo me it's the "T4", sorry all those who went for the "T5" but I just can't see the logic, the "T5" cost £1500 more than the "T4" and what do you get for this extra money, a 0 to 62mph time of 6.5 instead of 7.0, for me it's a wast of money, I invested the sa...

Re: Delivery Date

Ordered mine 7th Feb, provisional ETA 31st March. I've stuck with the 20" wheels and now been told to expect July as it now falls into MY19. Hope it's worth the wait as every mile in my golf is costing me from the end of the month. Wow, i really feel for you...that is one hell of a push back! ...

Re: Car ordered, arriving June

Congratulations, hopefully the wait won't be too agonising.
I haven't actually driven one but as soon as I saw it and in my preferred colour in the showroom I was sold.

Re: 7 weeks today....

Ordered last week, advised delivery likely end of June, early July. Certainly a lot of interest in the '40 when I was at the dealer, and now it's won Car of the Year that'll only increase. That said, I've certainly waited longer for new cars in the past. Congratulations, hopefully the time will go ...

Re: 7 weeks today....

Not got a confirmed date for mine yet but was advised 24th April. Not as painful a wait for me with a lot going on in my life - leave my current job on 20th April and start new one on 23rd April so that's taking most of my mind at the moment! Plus got a nice city break and Easter in between. I may ...

Hello there First time Volvo owner here, yesterday I ordered a Fusion red T5 First Edition with 20" wheels, apparently one of the last still available in the country, it was pre-ordered by the broker mid January so half the wait already gone, should get it around mid April hopefully. Got a very...
