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.
We were looking to buy a XC40. Expensive and with my experience of appallingly unreliable electronics on my V60 Polestar, we bought a Mazda CX30 AWD instead. No regrets.
