As mentioned in most cases the date comes forward, do not think I have seen anyone get one late on here.

The car is big but drives small and the 360 camera really helps a lot.

The standard sound system is very good.

My T8 arrived in the dealer on July 13th. Can't get it till government grants are sorted and they're on a go slow.

Ordered end of March. Rather annoyed!!!

Hi,
This is my first time posting, so please go easy on me if I have this wrong.

the xc90 t8 r-design is not eligible for a government grant, the only xc90 that will receive the grant is the t8 momentum

The xc60 t8 r-design pro and inscription pro are awaiting olev sign off, expected late September

The factories closed for annual holidays and maintenance on 14th July and first production date was today.

Thank you for all the replies!
I've ordered a momentum pro with the xenium pack (which I was a bit cross you had to order the blind spot pack at £500 in addition - why not include it?), family pack, smartphone integration and (yes yes I know it's stupid) the Bowers & Wilkins stereo upgrade. It's osmium grey, 6 spoke wheels and the D5 AWD engine (although I may add the polestar later - I'm used to a Mini Cooper s).

I actually went in to drive the xc60 after hubby had one as a company car a while ago, but fell for the 90's looks and sheer size! I looked at the F pace (thought it was very dull and "basic" looking for such a premium car), disco (lovely lovely car but worried about reliability, and no space left once the 3rd row of seats were up. Also, no intergrated child booster seat, meaning we had to take a car seat out each time someone wanted to use the boot seats) and the Levante (omg such a gorgeous gorgeous car but such a lot of money for not quite big enough car).

I'm planning to drive through Europe with the kids, and also have days out with the parents, and the xc90 just ticked all the boxes. Although I am beginning to have kittens about the sheer size of it!

My wife is only 5'1" but finds driving our XC90 a doddle. As others have said when driving this car it feels smaller than it actually is. She loves the 360 o cameras and says when we replace this car it must have the cameras.

Very interested to hear if anyone (particularly with a T8 on order in the UK) hears of an order moving forward. Living in hope... 😀
