XC40 waiting times
Hello there,
Just checking how everybody else is getting on with their waiting times I placed an order the last week of February for an R-Design Pro, and I was told I should expect it by the last week of May, no later than early June. Had a call with the dealer last week to check on the car, and they told me the new expected delivery date is... 20-NOVEMBER! Has anyone else had similar issues and delays? 3 months waiting (from March until June) seemed acceptable, 9 moths seems a bit too much... |

Me!
Ordered R Design Pro 12/03/18 for a may delivery, finally got a build date 2nd Nov! I’m undecided if I should cancel as a 8 month lead time is slightly unacceptable. |

Plenty discussion about this on the XC40 Forum, including the posting of some Volvo UK documents to the dealers which appear to have escaped from captivity.

Just looked at production statistics for May, now have 3 months of XC40 production data. Volvo are producing 5,000 units per month and the press release states that extra production will be available in 2019. With 80,000 orders already that means the XC40 is in seriously short supply!
Volvo got there estimates wrong for this vehicle!!

It's very disappointing as well that they don't prioritize depending on when the order was placed but on the model
Momentums and inscriptions ordered in May are being given delivery dates earlier than a Pro ordered in February... |

I read that the R Design is the main problem is that the case for the pro versions also?

I have on order a T5 Inscription pro. Initially scheduled for delivery in June/July. I have now been advised that it will be mid/late October!!
Just as well my very old XC60 is still going strong! I have downsized because of the increased size of the new XC60, which is now too big for my needs. Just waiting and fingers crossed that it is not delayed again. |

I ordered an R Design on 15th March and was originally told June/July. I now have a date of 23rd October.
My PCP deal has since run out on my old Volvo and I now have an interim V40 Cross Country to take me up to my new XC40. Don't have much hope though that I will actually get the car late October. |
