Yes, I guess you may have got this from the XC40 forum as there’s been quite a lot of discussion about it.
So sorry that the experience has been spoilt for you. The salesman is clearly being economical with the truth, as discussion on MY21 has been going on for months.
What I would say to you is that despite these apparent downgrades, the car will still drive the same as the one you enjoyed so much on the test drive.
I would say it’s the best car we’ve owned and every journey, even if it’s just 2 miles to the shops, is a joy.
Sleep on it for a couple more nights and then decide what to do.
