We are going to order an XC40 in the next week. Just need to decide on colour. The XC40 B4 Plus is a steal at the moment with the ever rising prices, it fell by a £1k from Q3 to Q4. A lot of people are going for the Black model as well. I’m not sure an all new model will be released until 2026.
If you order now and the price does drop in Jan, most dealers will honour the price or you can cancel and order elsewhere.
We thought about the Audi Q3 (my brother has one and loves it) but we didn’t think it was worth the extra AP. Same with the Mercedes GLA which is almost £2500 more than the Volvo.
Nissan Qashqai was on our list and it’s a nice car but we preferred the Volvo.
You should go and test drive them.
