Oh dear, reading this with dismay.
My XC90 is up for change in June and due to price increases, I can no longer afford an XC90 (I'm on my 6th). So, I'm looking at an XC60, either personal deal (petrol) or Company Car (PHEV). Got the option for full electric via salary sacrifice, but the premium models (Volvo and non-Volvo) are way too expensive and I'm still not convinced on the whole EV thing anyway. I'll pop in to my local dealer on the way home and have a chat with them.

I must say I am somewhat discouraged by what I am reading here.
I have a couple of questions, that hopefully you wonderful people can shed some light upon. This week I placed an order for an XC60 T8 Recharge Ultimate Dark through my work's salary sacrifice scheme. They say the lead time at present is 15 weeks. I am seeing here that the Ultimate moniker has been dropped and replaced with Ultra. Does anyone know the differences, if any? Or is it just a rename of the line, and do Volvo just shift orders for Ultimate onto Ultra now? I imagine it would create something of an administrative nightmare to contact every customer waiting, otherwise? In which case I would have thought there was no difference in the two in terms of specs. I have checked the P11d value of my car I've ordered with the pricing of the Ultra and it is the same, down to the penny,(when the cost of the wheels I chose is removed) so I imagine the order placed is for the Ultra, and the leasing company have just not updated the name. Are these delays people are having consistent with all customers, or is it happening with some people and not others? This will be my first brand new car in 10 years, and I had forgotten how painfully inconvenient the wait can be. The last time I ordered in May 2014, and the car arrived with me in September 2014. Ever since then I have bought used. I hope this turns out to be a pleasant experience! |

I understand the "Ultra" term comes from the new EX30.
They've started using that in place of "Ultimate'. I don't think there's any difference in spec, just a future migration in terms

From MY25 the XC60 Ultimate will be renamed Ultra. Deliveries of MY25 cars should start around August of this year but this may change due to production being moved back to Europe.
The MY25 XC60 spec is attached. I haven't noticed any differences from the current model year. _

Alas, it seems that after about 15 years, I will be leaving the brand. Can't even get a new XC60 at a monthly cost anywhere near my current XC90.
Had a good chat with my local dealer last week, crunched a load of numbers, but it just doesn't stack up.

New XC60 Ultimate ordered early August 2023 from Dealer but was told they just order from Volvo UK now so no dealer discount. Then, after order placed, Volvo UK place adverts all over the media for September 2023 Sale. Check prices and I can order same car for over £4,000 less!! E-mail Volvo UK to ask for order to be amended - computer says 'No'. Have to cancel order and start again, oh what a laugh. So, go through all the paperwork again and lose one month delivery lead time. Given then an estimated delivery date of Feb/March 2024. Then December told by dealer April/May 2024. The on line link I have been sent to track delivery is like looking at something from a 70's early computer programme. Reading all the previous who knows when I might see this car!! Wife says cancel and buy something 6 months old immediately available but then I don't get 4 years 0% finance, 4 years service plan etc. Please just make the packages work Volvo and then with the right finance, the right quality vehicle at the correct competitive price and the service team to back it up you can rule the world!! It's not rocket science.
