Volvo used to have D4 5 pots as well. Worlds gone mental.

I thought the number indicated power and each number represented a power band?
A bit like Audi are about to do with their nomenclature except theirs makes even less sense... |

Long ago, in the previous century, volvo has used numbers that meant something.
A 244 was a second generation car with 4 doors and a 4 cylinder engine, a 245 had 5 doors. A 262C also was 2nd generation but with a 6 cylinder engine and 2 doors, a Coupé. Now there still is a kind of hierarchy, the higher the number, the more power. D3 - D4 - D5 for diesels, T5 - T6 - T8 for petrol engines. Not meaningless, and still "advertising" status (as is the AWD and the Polestar label?)

On the XC90 we are still not offered 5 seat version, or the D4 FWD, D4 AWD or T5 AWD - all available in RHD in other countries. |

Volvo may very well loose some customers and thus hurt sales because of this strategy. In 2003, when we were in the market for our next car, one of the reasons it wasn't going to be the XC90 was that it was only available with 3 rows, although a 5 seater did exist. Perhaps in that case not the biggest loss for Volvo since we decided on an XC70...

No, the 5-seat version isn't available.
That's what they're encouraging (forcing?) buyers to do. But it could backfire. I have various options on my Momentum (eg Adaptive Headlamps) that are no longer available on that car and I wouldn't upgrade to an Inscription Pro just to get them. I'd be more likely to look around at what other manufacturers offer.

Volvo UK has always been the same but as long as we, the customers, dont say anything to them, nothing will change. Personally I wouldn’t buy a diesel and would expect them to introduce all versions, ie T5 and T6! If not, no sale! Simple.

Surely Volvo UK should sell what the customers want to buy rather than take an island “head in sands”approach and decide on our behalf what we are allowed to buy. Please email custcare@volvocars.com

However, when we did our Polestar upgrade on the XC60 T5, our dealer informed us we we were the first! Very different than in the UK were many seems to do it, which is funny as here, we have motorways with no limits! I mean, i did 140mph today..... Thanks for the email address. Will be sending them an email as I still have a rather large precence in the UK including cars!
