Hello!
Nice to meet you ;)

I have just ordered a XC40 Recharge T4 Inscription in Denim blue with sunroof, park assist and Driver Assistance pack.
I wanted to add the Bliss system though, but the dealer informed me that it will not be available until next year :(

Now, I have to wait for 5 months!

Hello! I have my T4 Recharge for about 2 months, 2000 km so far.
Coming from a Beetle, the impressions are amazing. I am impressed of the power of twin engine and how quiet is everything.

I have just a question, for driving in the city - going the kids to school and in market - which drive mode is better? Pure or hubrid? I have the opportunity to charge it daily in my parking area.

Thanks so much!

If you have the range then pure electric is preferable in built up areas. Just be aware that people may not hear the vehicle approaching.

Agreed, but consider using an 'Individual' mode based on Pure mode but with normal Climate Control. The Climate Control in Pure mode is very weak and doesn't prevent misting (in UK weather anyway).
