Has Anyone Else Had Their 2021 Volvo Order Cancelled?
Hello to all,
This is my very first post here. I would have loved to be joining you all and sharing my new experience with my 2021 Volvo B4D Inscription but unfortunately 2 weeks prior to my delivery date I was informed that my complete order had been cancelled. This was the first new car that I have bought since 2000 when I bought my very first car (Ford Escort Flight 1.6). I am not wealthy, so paying in effect £50,000 for any car is a very big deal for me. Even though I have already paid for the car, I was shocked to get a call telling me that my order has vanished from the system and that I must now wait for a MY2022 model. Has anyone else had such an experience? |

Could be something to do with the chip supply shortage a month or two ago? All manufacturers saw reduciton in numbers being built.

I received a call today to let me know my dealership is expecting an update from Volvo early next week. I was told of the cancellation on two week prior to my ETD and so I wasn't happy at all. I will be without a car from Mi May as I was told early may at latest for my delivery. I too have been told they plan to honour the price I've paid for my 2021 will be same as 2022. I ordered the following: Volvo V90 B4D Inscription Air Suspension Bowers and Wilkins Laminated Rear and side windows Sunroof, 360 Cameras, heated rear seats, heads up display 4 zone climate I was so excited. I'll keep you posted on what they tell me. |

Only thing to watch out for is that I think I read that the laminated windows has been taken off the options list. I’d try and get something writing from the dealer. |

Thanks for the heads up.
I'll enquire about that as I really wanted laminated windows all round. Another thing which is bothering me is all this talk around the new Volvo's coming in 2022 being capable of level 3 autonomous driving through the use of brand new Leminar technologies. I would be gutted to spend £50,000 this year to see such a big change the year after, but I've already waited 5 years before I made the decision to buy this one. I've paid for the car upfront and plan on keeping the car for at least 10 years, so such a big change would be soul destroying. At the same time, if I wait and Volvo then announce this tech won't be implemented on the V90 until late 2022 or even 2023/4 then I've waited for nothing. I really am excited about getting this car though. I've saved relentlessly for 5 years and am feeling like a kid in a toy shop right now lol.... |
I suppose the Android OS will mean get the latest Volvo and future Volvo Infotainment system. I just hope that I don't have to wait too long to take delivery of it.

I'll have to wait and see what the dealer comes back to me with. Shouldn't be long now. |

Most options remain the same but Laminated Windows isn't available apparently as discussed with others. I just hope we get some form of priority as we have already had to wait for our original order and then have it cancelled. Fingers crossed we'll hear back soon :) |
