I just hope I'm right, otherwise I've cocked up.

Time to check absolutely before the order cut-off date. Get it in writing ! If they mess-up, you then have the opportunity to reject and order the correct car. Seriously.

You are OK. I have the latest price and specification edition 2 Model year 2018 list from which I ordered and 4C includes air suspension. I am now wondering if the dealer has it right. I said the ride was much superior to my car but I saw no evidence to say it was on the car.
Is there that much difference between 19"and 20" wheels to worry about.

As far as I know without getting underneath the only way of telling is from the thumb scroll on the central consol nr the gear lever.
Like you I found the ride excellent, I tried the Inscription Pro which would have been at least the 20" wheels if not bigger.
My main reason for wanting only 18 or19" was purely for rim protection.
I would have had 18" plain alloys if they had been on the option list for the Inscription.
Oh and thanks for confirming my suspension order as correct.

Went to our local dealer today in Colchester. They have an Inscription Silver, D4 with the Inscription Pro package. Black interior.

Lovely car, I must say. They confirmed that the amount of petrol engine enquiries was great than for diesels, not only for the new XC60 but right across the range. Nice to hear

Have just checked my order form and it definitely lists 4c suspension plus air.
So you were right to tell me to check. Thank you.

I've not seen one with black interior, but that's what I've ordered.

Like you I worry about rim protection and I did look carefully at the demo tires. There is definitely enough rubber outside the rim to protect against touching the kerb when parking close. Don't know about a hard contact. Hope I never need to find out.

Like I said in a early post I sometimes like to jump a kerb and with the extra rubber between the kerb and the rim it doesn't cause a problem, but I guess I might have to change my driving style.
I only have lost profile tyres on my Peugeot and so far have managed to avoid curbing that.

What brand of tyres are they putting on the new XC60?

The demo I had was booted with Michelin, not sure what type.
