MGs are good for the money, but they are not as good as any Volvo. I suspect the cheap Chinese car will soon be a thing of the past as each country does what the US has done and starts to implement protectionist policies for their own industries and people.

I guess we all have different views. My thesis is that the major European brands have been milking consumers for years with ever increasing margins the reward. We are now going through a massive technological disruption and the Chinese/Koreans (and Californians) have a lead. Volvo is better places than most for obvious reasons (and the EX30 is good relative value as is mentioned) but the BEVs coming out of Europe are just deeply unimpressive on both range and price criteria. It’s a great opportunity for the Chinese to take market share until the Europeans move on from their ‘rushed out in a hurry’ current BEV offerings.
PS I’d still buy a petrol XC90 if prices/spec options were more reasonable. I’m going down to funerals in southern England soon and will do 1000+ miles in a few days. Still don’t fancy that in a BEV.

Placed order for XC60 in Sept- started with late jan deliver, then told Feb/march- called Volvo Uk this week- production delays on XC60- should be with dealer in May.
Now thinking of cancelling.

Also seeing what options are available.
I spoke to Volvo earlier and the issue is, apparently, distribution problems in Belgium. I was expecting late Jan/early Feb but the estimate is now May. The Volvo person did her best to emphasise that May is pessimistic.

Xc60 plus
I ordered an XC60 Plus in Aug 23. Due Jan/Feb but pushed back to April. I was told by Volvo they have difficulty with ‘build slots’ (?) Not sure what is going on really.

I spoke to Volvo this morning. My car hasn't been allocated a build slot but they anticipate it'll be allocated Feb/March which would mean a late April or early May delivery. Honestly, not holding my breath.
He acknowledged that Volvo is having production issues. He also said that they are now re-routing components and finished cars away from the Red Sea and that's adding a minimum 14 days to the journey.

Autocar have tested the XC60 and given it a bit of a kicking which I think is unfair: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/volvo/xc60 I find the XC60 and XC90 still to be compelling cars and can’t understand why Volvo won’t be keeping them in production as ICE cars as fully amortised good margin products. They won’t have a problem meeting the BEV targets so I don’t see the downside in keeping these cars on the market but the Autocar article says the XC90 is about to die. Shame.

Also you have to question a reviewer who doesn't get the basic facts correct. The driver's display is 12" (has been for years) and the T8 doesn't have a supercharger any longer. Like you, I'm very surprised Volvo will drop these cars soon. They should be a big cash-cow for Volvo. Plus, BEV cars aren't suitable for everyone. I make a 1,800 miles round trip to France every year. I can't imagine stopping every few hours to charge up.

T8
My understanding is that the T8 has both a turbo and a super charger.
