Hello.
I'm contemplating which variant to get.
I had thought to get the top inscription but then found it doesn't have all the toys on that I would like.

I'm a little confused that they all reference back to the Momentum and not incrementally get more and more toys added., which would have simplified the choosing process.

I do like the XC40 it is a fab car to sit & drive in.
I presently have a QQ Tekna and I'd like to match up tp that in the toy dept., the quality of the Volvo build it fantastic..

I'll post my thought in an opening post on the forums.

Great to be here/

What were the toys you found that the Inscription didn't have that you would've liked?

I went for the R-Design Pro over the Inscription Pro only because of the seats, while I would have preferred full leather as I've had that in all my previous cars, the R-Design model has lower extension for your thighs so I found it was much easier to get comfortable.

Agree. I found this makes a major difference to the comfort of the seats. It's a must have if you can spec it in.

Hi
just got the delivery conformed XC40FE 20inch wheels in white this will be our first new Volvo in to the dealer 7th May so should get it by the 9th.
Have read all the posts re delivery times which is not good news for the marketing dept. guess they underestimated the demand for such a great SUV

Hi, just joined the Forum as about to take delivery on Monday of an Ex-Demonstrator XC40 First Edition D4 (its actually been the showroom model and has only done 265 miles) so got a good deal, I really wanted a petrol T5 but this was too good a car to miss.
My personal opinion is that it will be a good ten years or so before the infrastructure for electric cars will be right and diesels are no longer popular. but :roll: would love to hear others reasons for choosing petrol or diesel XC40s

Hi q3billy,

Sorry for being dumb, but what does the lower extension for your thighs mean? I am in the same boat as don't know which model to order.

Oh great thanks, so this is only in the R-Design and not the Inscription?

In the latest UK pricelist/specification they come with the R-Design and therefore R-Design Pro, and with the Momentum Pro and the Inscription Pro (but not the base Momentum or Inscription).
