I have owned an XC40 T4 AWD since 2019 under the Care By Volvo scheme. Everything's been great, love the car. The deal ends May 2022.

I went to my dealer back in October and ordered an XC40 AWD B4 with a 360 camera.

Early January 2022, I get a call from the dealer to the effect that: -
Volvo have cancelled the order and are not building the car to the requested spec, because they have "changed their range". I can have either a FWD only with a 360 camera OR an AWD but not with a 360.......AND the lead time is now 8 to 9 months.

The dealer went on to say that Volvo are offering only 3 models in the range and each model has a limited number of options.

I checked this with another dealer in the area; and yes, this is the case.

I have ordered a Mazda. Volvo appears to want to go the way of SAAB and with service like this, probably will. What a shame.
