Is there anything I can do to speed the delivery up?

Probably not. My delivery time in 2015 was March to June. Suspect the demand for 'great value' current models is now stretching the factory.

Ordering in Jan with a June delivery is pretty bad!

I did mine in April and currently due to arrive with the dealer on 29th June. I was told when I ordered there was some issue with the supply of leather for the seats which was delaying things - not sure if that was true.

What spec is yours?

Your dealer might have amended an existing order just before cut-off date (as happened with mine). The earlier poster might have been a brand new order.

This is how I got mine in 6 weeks, from a mid Jan order to pickup on the 3rd Mar.

It was a pre-existing order that was amended just before the factory cut off for changes, so a very quick turnaround for me. The Salesman did indicate at ordering, he did not see anything in my options list that could delay the build.

He did not indicate what options could have slowed things regarding the build.

that's what Marshalls did with mine; modified a stock car to my spec. Sailed through....:-))

Same thing has happened to me. Ordered in January and order has only just gone in. Dealer was implying I may have to pay more as it was a 2019 build now but has now backed down on this. I was threatening to cancel and the replies I had from them seemed to imply that they would happily let me cancel. Not what I expected from Volvo.
Now have a build date in May. Does anyone know if there are any specification differences between 2018.5 and 2019 models or is it just a price rise on same spec?? My dealer hasn’t replied to this question.

You are in the wrong section of the forum. The new xc60 >2017 has it's own section

I ordered my XC60 T8 Inscription Pro from Marshall's at Grantham on 27th Feb 2019. At the time I was told that I should expect delivery in the 3rd quarter of 2019. Happy with that, albeit quite a long wait.

I have now (early April 2019) had a call from my Grantham salesman advising me that I am now expecting delivery 11 Jan 2020!!!! He did ask if I wanted to persist with this order or cancel. I have chosen to persist.
