I have a 68 plate Momentum Pro D3
There are no lights whatsoever in the rear passenger compartment is this correct or have they been missed off the build?
The manual says thare should be two reading lights but the roof has nothing (it's not a panoramic roof BTW)
Thanks in advance

That is correct. Volvo in their wisdom have deemed that rear interior lights are not standard across the range. Momentum doesn't get them. Totally bizarre decision if you ask me.

You're not the first on here to comment on it.

An enquiry to the dealers reveals that XC40s indeed don't have rear seat interior lights!
At least noe of the ones in the showroom do!

:shock: :o

For me, this has to be one of the most annoying things about the XC40. I got the Momentum Pro, mainly because I wanted the fusion red colour, which is not available in the inscription trim. With a significant discount, I got the car for roughly EUR 43k with almost every option - catalogue price around 50k. Yet, I didn’t go for the 1500 EUR (!!!) lights pack - so no rear lights. In a 50k car. Go figure.

Mine has rear lights above the rear doors - they are a lot better than the colour changing mood light in the front.

F.Y.I, my 2019 XC40 T3 R-Design (my2020 build) with no sunroof, has a pair of switchable spot/reading lights fitted into the centre-rear roof lining. These come on as interior lights when the door is opened. Picked it up July 30th 2019.

I have a RDesign model. It comes with twin lights in the front, and twin lights in the back. Both sets of twin lights, both front and back, have colour changing mood lights LEDs.

I have a MY2020 momentum with panoramic sunroof and we have no rear lights whatsoever. Extremely annoying, as we have 2 children that need to be in child seats and getting them in and out in these dark days is quite annoying.

Probably the thing that annoys me the most about the XC40 so far. Love the car in most aspects, but this part is annoying and frustrating as it's not been cheap. (Have panoramic sunroof, Pro tech pack with 360 cam, leather interior etc. seems odd that they couldn't add any rear lights)

I have the twin lights in the front but only 2 spots in the back - not noticed any colour changing lights in these (R design 2020) - do you have the panoramic roof?

DarrenF. You will have colour changing lights.. though it's on 2 LEDs in the middle of your light cluster. You need to be somewhere very dark to spot them. Hold your hand under where your lights are( once your interior lights are switched off and you will see.
