Well, after announcing my excitement at ordering my new xc40 (ordered Sunday, delivery “expected” first week in October....) these posts are giving me nightmares!

Ah, well, fingers crossed.

After seven years of bulletproof V40 D4 ownership, it was a tough call swapping it but work reliance means I need reliability and fear an 80k 7 y/o bus may start to need repairs, despite it being absolutely mint. I love this car and fear the new one living up to this standard.

Now on eggshells till order confirmed, although I have already been warned to expect four months delivery.
SOME of the cars are built in China , the S90 for example all volvo factories work to the same high standards where ever they are in the world . The shortage of cars is due to a shortage of microprocessors due to 2 factories making them burning down for some reason .

China will make you exactly what you ask for.. cheap or quality ... a lot of the beautiful cast alloy suspension components are made in China , the underside of the new volvos are as beautiful as the outside

Hm. Confirmed is an interesting one. I have a doc from Volvo with the expected delivery date to dealer - Sheffield - on 4th Oct (from memory). But there’s many a slip ‘twixt the cup and the lip, as the old saying goes!

I’m not holding my breath, but I have my fingers crossed!

Mine has arrived at the dealership and I pick it up on Friday afternoon. They sent a video of the car today, loving the pine grey but will miss the fusion red.

First post hear having this week put in an order for a V90 Cross Country with most options.

Having browsed the forum I am concerned the car won’t come with BLIS fitted which I would view as fairly essential given the driving we do. I looked at the MY22 price list and BLIS isn’t mentioned but it is still listed on the website as a feature of the CC. Anyone know if BLIS is still on the V90 or is there an issue on this model too as there is with some other models?

Unless standard on the vehicle BLIS is not being fitted or even available as an option right now. Volvo UK sales literature and websites only now catching up. If you are unsure what comes with your order get your dealer to confirm in writing.

Edition 3 MY 22 Pricelist for the V90 CC still states BLIS will be added.

Thank you! See it now in a separate column that wasn’t visible on my phone.
Glad to see it is there as blind spot monitoring is very useful when driving on the continent (although who know when that will next be!)

Just had this back from Volvo:


V90 Cross Country

Thank you for your inquiry.

BLIS was removed from the Driver Awareness Pack, it is currently not available due to the industry shortages in semi-conductor microchips.

Cross Traffic Alert is still available. I will make our Product team aware that both options are still showing on the car configurator.



Bit confused as it is on the website and (as above) also on the price list.
