Volvo Owners Club Forum - View Single Post - XC60 delivery timescale (replacing my XC90)

I ordered an XC60 Recharge Ultimate in early Sep with anticpated delivery of Dec 2023. Subsequently this was pushed back to end Jan 2024. I've just had an updated delivery estimate of August 2024, almost a year after ordering it. I've said this is unacceptable and the dealer is pursuing it with Volvo UK. What if August isn't even achievable?

It has me wondering what is going on with Volvo. The XC60 is popular but is it really that popular? Supply chain issues should be largely history now. Or has shifting production to China caused unforeseen problems? Also, are other territories suffering similar delays? Or is it the B word that cannot be uttered?

Obviously it puts me in a dilemma: cancel the order (thus losing the deal) and go elsewhere or wait it out?
