- It would appear that on all new models there will be no paddle shifters, is this correct? I always use paddle shifters in my cars so it's a bit disappointing. I don't believe it's possible to change manually via the gear selector either?

- No more drive mode selector. I asked the dealer and they said whilst the selector has gone you can still change modes using the infotainment screen. Can anyone clarify if this is the case, is there a comfort and sport mode for example?

- No Apple Car Play? Must admit once you get used to having this it's a pain to go back, I believe this is due to software glitches and may be updated soon but I haven't been able to get any more info? Doesn't sound promising with no timeline

- Ability to connect phone/play music via USB. Is it true that whilst you can plug your phone in to charge there is no USB interface for playing music etc?

- Google System. Anyone that is using this, what are your thoughts? How does the overall system work vs say the latest BMW's, especially with regards to voice commands such as setting temperature in the car etc. Is this even possible on this?

- Has anyone taken delivery of a new R Design yet? If so could you post some pictures, particularly if you have the 21" Alloys? It's hard to find real life pics.


Cheers!

I took delivery of B4 AWD inscription with climate pack nearly a month ago having sold a 5 series BMW.
All i can say is I wish I still had the BMW.
My car is currently in the dealers awaiting new parts to sort the following,
1. All speed limits are inaccurate
2. Google Assistant keeps say "oops something went wrong"
3. Message "ready to drive" flashes up when doing 70mph.
4. Unable to alter dash brightness unless you do system reset.
5 USB's can't be used for playing music, charge only. My specification said USB - B but they are the C's

Also the inability to use speed limiter without going into the main settings is appalling.

Volvo really need to get a grip, for premium manufacturer its pants.
I was thinking of rejecting under sale of goods act but having looked at alternatives there is a wait of 12 months for and X3 or 12-18 for new F pace.
Stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Best of luck

Hi,

Re 1. with the speed limits are you saying every single limit you are shown is wrong? That sounds you might have some faulty sensor then. Mine works fine though sometimes doesn't change quick enough when suddenly going from one limit to another for a short part of the road.

Re 2. if the google assistant says something is wrong it is usually because it has lost the internet connection and can't work something out that is needed 'live'

Re 3 The message Ready to Drive can be switched off in settings I think.

Re 4 The dash brightness is on the wheel lower right behind steering wheel. Works when lights are on.

Re 5 USB can be used for audio, just install AudioWagon. If your spec said USB B then you were given the wrong spec sheet, these 22 cars have USB C

Lastly the Speed Limiter can be controlled from the steering wheel - https://www.volvocars.com/en-eg/supp...trol-functions

Hope that helps solve your issues.
All the best.

Hi All!
Just got my "nightmare" of a XC60 MY22 back from the dealers again today! they have installed the latest version of the software 1.8,
BUT....

It still has NOT resolved the incorrect speed issues being displayed
I have been told that its being "worked" on and will be resolved!

I agree with what Fibrous says about the USB, mine has "c" and i have installed Audio Wagon and it works amazing!

Cheers

Yes the display of speed limits is definitely work in progress!
I think overall some owners are experiencing poor or lack of network connection which causes delays and issues with updates and other 'live requests' by the Google system. I am not too sure if its Vodafone's network they are using.

I have a MY22 XC60 R Design B4D. I have just come from air on a RRsport to this on 21 inch alloys and no air. Yes, it is slightly on the firm side BUT excellent for ride and cornering. Do not be put off; try it.

I’ve received my XC60 recharge last week, overall I’m enjoying it but there are a large amount of ‘niggles’ all of which related to the Google software, it does feel a bit like we’re all beta testers..
How long do we think is reasonable to wait for the updates to resolve issues? And at what stage and to what degree do we ask for recompense from Volvo for missing features?
I don’t think they’d be too impressed if the shoe was on the other foot - ‘I think I’ll pay £15 less on my monthly fees and tell them not to worry, it’s only a little amount, you’re still getting most of the money and I’ll start paying the £15 ‘soon’ with an ‘update’.’ Of course they won’t by bothered by the months of not having it, while I was ‘working on it’..

Yes, go to the Google Play store on your cars centre screen and download/install from there.

Also looking at a XC60 MY22
B6 only available in R-Design
T6 was a MY21
No Drive Mode wheel in B6 . It was there in the T6
No Diesels Blame Europeans for that.
Far better mileage from my current MY12 D5 diesel than a high revving petrol engine. We live in country Australia so a T8 may not be of great benefit for us.
As for the colours, all very bland . Volvo has really dropped the ball in this regard. Enough to make me go to another brand.
