My 2016 has them. Think it was part of an extra pack.

Now I’m jealous I always thought it’s a disadvantage of the T8, but it looks like it’s a disadvantage of the XC60....
Don’t tell me you also got front fog lights....?

I was the same... Didn’t realise the post was about the Disco3 haha, should have really! Anyway yeh, great comparison now that ive re read it! I think a plus of the T8 over the disco with the 7 seats, is the boot space when the third row is being used, definitely bigger in the T8.

Nope. No need to be jealous. No space for front fogs even in the XC90.

So with the T8 when running on electric what happens when you approach a slip road or want a quick start? Do you have to wait whilst the engine starts up? That sounds massively slow and hesitant.
Or is it not like that? |

It’s pretty much instantaneous. Feels like a bit of turbo lag is all.

If I’m pulling out from a junction onto a fast A toad, I do drop it into AWD or power mode though in prep D76

Similarly I used to do the same when pulling off my estate onto what is a fast roundabout, especially in the morning when the engine has not been started yet. However of late I have devised a new method. Squash the brake pedal hard with your clutch foot and blip the throttle. The engine will immediately start and run for a minute or so to warm up. The engine will then be running already when I take my chance at the roundabout so eliminates the minor lag. I find it quicker and easier than dropping into power mode and then remembering to put it back into Hybrid.
