Hi folks!

Waiting on arrival of a white inscription pro. Looking to be delivered mid year.
Anyone here got an inscription pro in white so i can see what i am looking to receive?
I found the ordering of the volvo quite frustrating as their brochures hardly have any pictures unless you are ordering the R design and fully specced momentum!

Kind regards

David

Welcome along. That's a long wait but you won't be disappointed when it arrives.

Many thanks. Yes, we had the last allocated spot from our local dealer. We had a few cars in the mix we wanted to try out first. Hence the long build wait now.
Just wanting to see one in the flesh now. All i have seen is the r design and first edition!!

I too have ordered an Inscription (due end May). Like you I haven't seen one in the flesh and at the time of ordering couldn't find many pictures in brochures etc. I notice now that it is possible to get a good visualisation by using the 'Build Your Own XC40' on the Volvo car's website - that didn't support the Inscription spec when I ordered mine.

That’s a good idea. I’ll take a look thanks for the advice.
First time i have a bought a volvo not impressed with their brochures at the moment. Apart from that. I enjoyed the drive and ride of the XC40. What colour have you ordered?

I keep checking youtube every now and again as more xc40 videos are appearing.

Interesting youtube clip! I doubt if mine will remain that shiny for long!

Hi Cosmic_dave. Mine is in Pine Grey - probably the most sombre coloured car I've ever had, but I thought that it suited. I really wanted another metallic red like my current V60 but you can't get red in the Inscription spec, don't know why manufacturers make these silly restrictions!

I too wanted fusion red. However, when i placed my order i was told the same. So i went with white.
This is where i had had enough with the Volvo brochure specifications or lack of.
Bad launch of a new car. Hopefully, aftercare will be different!

Hi all, new to the forums as well. I have ordered an Inscription Pro in bright silver and also made use of the build your Volvo facility on the website to secure a visualisation. Am beginning to regret not ordering a version with the contrasting roof, but hey ho.

Delivery date allegedly early July but having read some of the tales of woe on here not holding my breath!
