By now is not possible to buy the XC60 with:
BLIS, Rear Collision Warning & Mitigation and Cross Traffic Alert.
Do you think you would buy it anyway?

I wouldn't.

Other than a top end sound system, it's one of the few options I wouldn't do without now.

I think BLIS should be standard on every car/truck/bus in the world; the safety benefits are huge.

For me BLIS is a 'nice to have' but not a deal breaker so yes I would order an XC60 without it if it was unavailable.

Having had an XC90 for 3 years with BLIS and it saved me from a definite crash, I would never have an XC90 or other main car without it. Hence I got the last XC90 T8 R Design on route into the country with it prior to them stopping it on MY22. It meant I had no choice over other spec, but that was the only thing I HAD to have to buy the car.
When the dealer was doing the handover he said it didn't have it - my heart sank, and I was about to walk away from the deal having driven 5 hours etc, but luckily it was his mistake and it did have it! The 3 he'd sold the day prior did not. That is how valuable I put it.
it is of course just driver assistance etc etc, one still needs to drive and pay attention according to the volvo website

It was removed from my order thanks to the semiconductor shortage - don't miss it however, still love the car.

Never had it before, so I doubt I would miss it. Then again, I've only had this car for a few months.

Wife didn't even realise what it was, thought it was the indicators
