First impressions, very nice after having driven an my S60 for 17 years. Only initial gripe is the road noise, which I guess is because of the largish tyres but I’m sure I will get use to it !
I checked my tyre pressures a few days after handover - were 44.5psi - should be 33psi - might be worth checking. (If you do alter pressures the TPMS needs to be reset).
Ordered a digital pressure gauge, received it yesterday.
Had 3 tyres inflated to 46 psi and one at 48 !!
Let air out down to 38 (eco) and definitely not so much road noise, so thanks for that squint. I may even try them down at 33 (comfort) to see if that improves it again

I asked my dealership for an explanation - I was told salesman should have discussed driving preference with me - or if I had a tow bar fitted then pressures should be increased - neither applied. Actually, when I discovered my pressures, I wondered if my gauge was faulty, so I called Volvo assist who came out and confirmed mine was correct. Technician told me pressures are over inflated at factory for transport reasons and should be reduced at PDI. I asked dealership why this was not done at PDI - can't remember exact response but I was unimpressed.To make matters even more worse - my service booklet did not have it's PDI section stamped - I was assured had been done and book would be stamped next time I was in. They also said to me they had the sheets - so I asked them to email them - after 2 days no email so I chased it and they sent BLANK UNCOMPLETED checklist - I asked why and was told there had been a mix up - then told delay was because they had to get files out - but I told them they had told me they had them and would email me.
I then realise my service booklet PDI section was dated 11/3/2020 - 4 days after I had collected the car!!!!! - and the car wasn't even in the garage 11/3/2020!!
I even have an email from them telling me it should have been 38 - I told them that is only in eco mode - and as default mode every journey is comfort ( which I have never understood) surely they should be 33.
Finally, Notsure - on the tyres fitted on my car maximum pressure stamped on the tyres is 51 - I regularly check my tyres and I am sure that the hotter it is outside the pressure raises - I also do a lot of motorway driving - I am sure that increases pressure more - also I am sure tyre pressures should be checked when cold.
