Default Just got my XC60 T8



Yesterday I got my XC60 T8 Hybrid and it's charging as we speak, since the dealer didn't charge it.

In the old cars we had to drive the first couple thousand miles with special care so it didn't hurt the engine. Is it still so, or can I floor the gas with no concerns?

Does anyone have tips and tricks regarding this car?

I tried to charge it with an extension cord, but it doesn't work. It only works directly to the outlet.

Today I parked next to a D4 and it was the one I test drived.

So far I'm having fun driving the car, I feel like I'm playing a computer game, trying to keep the ICE from running.

I was expecting more comfort, specially regarding the suspension. I have the pneumatic one and I still feel the bumps on the road like I did with my VW.

I now have about 300km (roughly 186 miles) and the tank is still full.

Been driving in all electric.
