Xc40 t3

[WestV]

Hi,

New member here, from sunny Portugal

I am on the market for a petrol engine XC40 T3.

I understand Volvo is having problems coupling this engine to the automatic transmissions.

That and the fact that this is an all-new engine specially geared at the future hybrid version, where it will be combined with the electric drive has made me wary about the whole proposal, even if I am thinking of getting the manual gearbox version.

As it stands, here in Portugal, there will be no units to test-drive before the end of June, at the best.

If any you gets to drive a XC T3 before that would you be so kind as to post your impressions here?

Thank you.

WV
