There was an issue with a warning light on the dash due to a faulty emissions module which took a while to sort so I'm actually picking it up this Sunday now. To the dealerships credit they put me in an 18 plate R design Pro with air suspension while mine was getting sorted so have been cruising around in that for the last week. |

Picked my MY19 XC60 up today.
Blown away to be honest....compared to my MY15 XC60 it's like flying a spaceship with all the tech on board. So some early impressions. Handover...excellent service by Lookers Stockport. I thought I'd just rock up and drive away....but had a real thorough and proper handover with everything set up and explained (and boy I needed it...there is a lot of tech on this car!). Felt like a valued customer...which is always nice. Drive and ride....driven it like a granny so far (don't want to push it until it's run in and I'm used to it) but this is my first auto and I can't believe I've waited this long to switch. The D4 and auto gearbox are as smooth as silk. Head up display....really like it. Glad I didn't switch back to a heated screen as I think its going to be very useful. Like how the satnav directions pop up so you don't have to look at the touchscreen. Sound....I'm no audiophile but it's streets better that my previous one (just the standard system). Tech....wow, so much is configurable and I've only just scratched the surface. Going to have a real good play over the coming days, but first impressions are that it's intuitive and straightforward. Auto boot lid...going to have to find the "knack". Have been outside waving my left leg around under the rear bumper with limited success. Colour...first time I'd seen the Denim Blue / Blond combo on an XC60 in the flesh. I really like it...looks classy and understated although it's very different to my previous Crystal White. Think its going to need slightly shorter wash / polish intervals to keep it looking good. So....after 7 hours of ownership....very happy! More thoughts in a day or so when I've dialled into it properly.

The common mistake is to perform sideways swipes; this is wrong. It's a forward kick staight under the car then back again. Find out exactly where the sensor is on the XC60 (it'll show it in the manual) and you should get 99% correct operation doing it this way.

Waggatron. To use the boot sensor do a single kicking motion under the left hand middle parking sensor and step back, do not touch the bumper whilst doing this. Mine works every time now I’ve got the knack.

This morning out and about with the family I caused much mirth in the car park by appearing to be attempting to kick the sh*t out of the rear of my new car!! Especially when the whole family joined in.... Today’s other new learning point has been that the hud is excellent but struggles to be seen in really bright oncoming sun. Will have to adjust the brightness setting to see if that helps. Was up super early to wash, super resin polish and super gloss finish the car. So now got a good layer of protection on it. It’s a fantastic colour but I think it’s going to take a lot more effort to keep blemish free than my previous Crystal White. Spent some time removing some residue marks from where the protective transport vinyl had been removed. Also noticed a small scratch on my left passenger side door handle which escaped me in the showroom. Oh well I guess that’s the first one so I can relax a bit now. Polished it up so it’s barely noticeable (all my three girls didn’t notice it....but I have a keen eye for such things unfortunately). It is a lot more sparkly in the sun than I advised yesterday (which was a typically dull, flat northwest day). There are metallic flakes in the paint but it takes sunshine to bring them alive!! Love the brightness of the blond interior. Really lifts the ambience compared to my previous two black interiors. So much so that we aren’t missing the pano roof that we so nearly specced (but just couldn’t justify on a lease). Only thing I would probably add if I had my time again is the 360 camera. The rear is so good I imagine that full surround would be awesome! One to tick in 4 years time methinks 😁 Will post some pictures when I figure out how.....

To ressurect my own question from March this year, am I the first person on here to note that the latest UK XC60 PL, Ed 5a from 01/11/18 lists a 71 L fuel tank as a £50 option on T5 and D4 ?

I do not agree that Volvo should Eden list this as an option, it should be part of the base spec......

I collected my car in beginning of January 2018, and just after that, they made the larger tank available as an option. I have the D4 with the 61L...would love to have had the 71L. On a day-to-day basis I get 700+ kilometers a tank with lots of small trips, to work and back etc. Going on longer journeys, I easily get 900+ a tank.
Good enough for me, but would still love to get the bigger one. |
