I then queried again the same salesman the day after picking up regarding the wheelspin, to be told it takes a few seconds for the AWD to activate.
I did not get underneath to check, as I thought I was being paranoid, after ordering an AWD and having told specifically on at least two occasions it was definitely AWD.
Car was replaced with an AWD, however ongoing electrical problems, random warning lights and todays inability to select any gear (its on a truck on route to the dealers again) , seem to be at odds with Volvo's reputation for quality.
As posted on other threads, the AWD is currently not exceeding 26mpg in mixed gentle driving, and the dealer is telling me that everything is normal??

The dealer sounds really bad, either knows nothing about the car or is lying. AWD has always been clearly marked. 26mpg is not normal with gentle driving and reasonable length journeys. I'm getting about 39mpg.
I see you've had advice to reject the car. Seems you thought you were getting a new D4 AWD and were not told that they do not exist yet. I would follow the rejection advice, given the miss-selling and major problems with the car .
I'm trying to work out what engine you actually have. The press releases I've seen are as clear as mud! How many CC's does it have? OK just looked in my handbook and it's this one....2011 Press release....The new five-cylinder 2.0D diesel is, in principle, the same engine as the well-established 2.4-litre diesel, but its displacement has been reduced with a shorter stroke to optimise fuel consumption. The injection system also has a different type of piezoelectric fuel injector compared with the D5 engine. These injectors minimize fuel consumption with their exceptionally rapid and precise injection pulses under high pressure to promote extremely efficient combustion.
