The American website had all model specs available to configure back in November.
Different markets with different products. I think the FE has only been a UK only option. Volvo UK were clear that the FE was a limited edition (deliveries from March) and the other models would follow with deliveries “from May”.
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. :o

Thanks for clearing that up - FE’s seem to be the rage at the mo - Seat did it for the Ateca range when it was launched.

Good to see that Volvo are still "holding" core prices through to edtion 5 of the pricelist. There are increases between the Ed4 and Ed5 pricelist but on a quick scan this seems to be soley due to 1 April 2018 VED pricing changes. Not Volvo's fault.

Yes saw that but my dealer mentioned a general price increase of £600 - maybe to come in Edition 6?

£600!! Probably not unexpected as an inflationary increase (when was Edition 1 - October/Nov?) although the car industry does seem to pass such on quickly (even if in small increments two or three times a year).

There are no prices showing this morning in the XC40 online configurator. You can build one but it won’t give you a price. The downloadable price list is still ed5 but I suspect - watch this space!

Is there a European car of the Year premium on its way?

And it's back up again with prices. Doesn't seem to have changed e.g FE spec'ed R-Design coming in at the same as Andy S calculated earlier. Pricelist still at Edition 5.

Yes, noticed that Boomer - and now the pricing has vanished again. Could just be website gremlins, but .......

BEWARE!!!! The online Car configurator has errors, so does the XC40 Price & Specification My18/19 Edition 5 document.
Volvo Customer Relations are aware of errors.

Online build error > selecting to BUILD an XC40 Inscription Pro - on the WHEELS selection screen the standard fit zero cost wheel ( #924 ) is not shown and you are forced to select an additional cost wheel.

Errors in the XC40 Price & Specification My18/19 Edition 5 (latest) document - The standard fit zero cost wheels for the R-Design specified on page 7 is not shown as "Standard Fit" zero cost on page 10 "Alloy Wheels" selector.

These are not the only errors / discrepancies, don't rely on the dealer to pick up on these errors, you could end up with something different than you wanted, in my case the dealer didn't notice the online configurator error when configuring my order and I would have ended up with wheels that I hadn't spec'd and didn't want, so Be Aware, Check Every Detail.
