Also a bit odd given the new XC90 is due out which everyone thought would be out 2022 - you'd be surprised at a electric motor upgrade in the last 6 months of the current model.

Makes me wonder with all the fancy LIDAR tech etc that the chip shortages perhaps has delayed it's launch too....and more looking at 2023 for retail sales to filter in - which ties in nicely with a replacement for me in late 2023/early 2024
