- 2026 Volvo XC60
Hello all,
I'm about to take delivery of my new 2026 XC60 T8 Ultra which I ordered back in September. It's finished in Forest Lake with the Dark Theme and 21" alloys. Otherwise the only options I've gone for are the electrically deployable towbar, front and rear dashcams and I opted for the heated windscreen over the Head Up Display. I've never had the latter before so I won't miss it, but I also don't have a garage so the prospect of going back to scraping the windscreen in the winter was something I wasn't prepared to do!
I've already had my free Ohme home charger installed and switched to Octopus Intelligent Go (my wife has a Mercedes EQA, so it's already proving very worthwhile as the previous Pod Point charger wasn't compatible with Intelligent Go).
I'm coming from a four year old fully loaded Skoda Kodiaq Sportline (my second) which has been a fantastic car, utterly reliable, but the new shape one just doesn't float my boat and there are loads of horror stories of software glitches with the Kodiaq Mk2 that weren't there in the Mk1.
Anyway, looking forward to joining the Volvo community and also being able to commute on electricity! (I do about 25 miles/day).
