My FE D4 AWD isn’t due to be delivered until September. So I was wondering if it’s still possible or if anyone already has been able to add the 4c suspension option to a FIrst Edition version?
Thanks
First edition with 4c suspension
- FE AWD D4 bright silver, 20”, Lava, Apple Car Play. Loving it!
Don’t think it was ever available officially but a one off custom build discussion might have been possible?

What benefit does the 4c really bring?
"Our Four-C active chassis gives your Volvo an even greater breadth of dynamic ability and comfort. Automatically maintaining handling and comfort in all conditions, it allows you to adapt the chassis to your preferences – Comfort, ECO, Dynamic and Off-road. This technology monitors the car, road and driver 500 times per second. Select any drive mode with a press of a button, and the electronically controlled shock absorbers will support your desired driving characteristics: ”Comfort” for soft shock absorption and smooth body movements, "ECO for maximum fuel efficiency, ”Dynamic” for sportier driving with harder shock absorption, and ”Off-road” for maximum performance on poor roads."

Does it actually do what it says in the description or is it a smoke and mirrors feature. I assume the wallow that was felt in my test drive would be eradicated having the 4c option fitted, or would it? Guess we won’t know until people start taking deliveries of XC40’s with it fitted and can report back their thoughts on its effectiveness.
I've had my D4 first edition for a week now and the driver modes definitely work! The Comfort feels a bit 'wallowey' but everything stiffens up on Dynamic. Not really tried off road yet but Eco is very similar to comfort.
Hope it helps.

Just to clarify,
does your car have the 4c installed or this observation is without it ?
Thanks

Not sure any 4C systems have been delivered yet?
