XC40 waiting times
Hello there,
Just checking how everybody else is getting on with their waiting times I placed an order the last week of February for an R-Design Pro, and I was told I should expect it by the last week of May, no later than early June. Had a call with the dealer last week to check on the car, and they told me the new expected delivery date is... 20-NOVEMBER! Has anyone else had similar issues and delays? 3 months waiting (from March until June) seemed acceptable, 9 moths seems a bit too much... |

Me!
Ordered R Design Pro 12/03/18 for a may delivery, finally got a build date 2nd Nov! I’m undecided if I should cancel as a 8 month lead time is slightly unacceptable. |

Plenty discussion about this on the XC40 Forum, including the posting of some Volvo UK documents to the dealers which appear to have escaped from captivity.

Just looked at production statistics for May, now have 3 months of XC40 production data. Volvo are producing 5,000 units per month and the press release states that extra production will be available in 2019. With 80,000 orders already that means the XC40 is in seriously short supply!
Volvo got there estimates wrong for this vehicle!!

It's very disappointing as well that they don't prioritize depending on when the order was placed but on the model
Momentums and inscriptions ordered in May are being given delivery dates earlier than a Pro ordered in February... |
