What have you ordered?
Delivery Date
I ordered this afternoon. They said end of June but cautioned Volvo would basically reassess that date on Friday when they can take stock of just how many were ordered this week.
XC40 D4 Auto First Edition, Crystal White, Lava Orange, 20" Alloys, Polestar - Ordered 14/3/18 - Delivery 6/10/18
Very excited, ordered my XC40 on Monday - Decided on D4 R Design Pro in Fusion Red. Added a couple of extras, heated steering wheel and panoramic roof.
I was told looking at end of May but reading various sites it’s looking very unlikely.

Managed to collect our car this evening, so far very happy. The active shadow lights as far as I can work out are definitely not included! Despite the seemingly clued up tech chap ensuring me they are, tonight's drive confirmed only active hi/low beam is working.
Happy with my choice of Lava interior so far also!
Will get some better photos up when I get the chance.

XC40 FE T5 Crystal White 20" LAVA!
Good news on your pick up Mr. P!
I am still not sure what the “shadow” part of all this is supposed to be, but I can confirm that my active bendy lights are working fine as well as low/hi beam. You can usually see two spots of bright light within the overall headlight beam and they move around left and right all over when cornering.
Two XC40s - so far! Inscription Pro T5 AWD Auto - Glacier Silver/Blond/21”, fully loaded, from Jan thro Sep 2021. Polestarred. Also one of the first FEs - a D4 AWD Auto - Bursting Blue/Charcoal/20" from Mar thro Aug 2018. Also Polestarred.
Thank you! Yes bendy lights and hi low work great, the Active shadow lights essentially mean the high beam is on almost off of the time, but shades out the small area where there is an oncoming vehicle or where you are following another vehicle, giving much greater visibility without blinding other road users! At my time of ordering it was advertised as being included but since has been removed from the literature... will speak to dealer tomorrow as they are still very much bragging how good the feature is...
This youtube video shows it pretty well,

Thanks Boomer, little teaser for you below. The Lava orange does give a nice ambiance to the interior, will still be getting dark floor mats in the near future, was slightly taken back by the orange when I opened the door for the first time haha.
