    I’m really interested in the XC40 T5 PHEV as the AP was dramatically cut for Q2.  I only discovered this forum recently, and have found it very helpful – so thanks to everyone!!

    I contacted a Volvo dealer today – and have been given similar info as Ianfca received.  The dealer was helpful, but did mention that the choice of cars would be the existing models they had here in the UK.  No new factory builds – as that would be the 22 model.

    I attempted to get some clarification w/o being too strong, and the dealer said the reduced AP was set for the actual cars they already had in the UK and it was ‘preferred’ that these were allocated first. I was told that I could not ask for factory options, only dealer fit options. He was unsure what the arrangement with Motability would be when new factory builds (22 model) were required.

    Dealer was not sure what changes the new model may bring.

    We are lucky to have an BMW X1 25d now, and our choice now is the XC40 or play safe and stick with BMW, this time an X2 20i
