MY17 SVR is here and wow it was worth the wait

So it's taken 9 months but I have taken delivery and what an amazing car.

The noise is so addictive.

The MY17 tech updates are also a real step forward and body role is none existent even in auto mode.

A question for other SVR owners regards the exhaust button and dynamic mode.

when in dynamic the exhaust note seems louder than in auto with the button pressed is this correct ?

Pops and bangs more in Dynamic mode as it keeps the injectors running a little longer to let unburnt fuel into the hot exhaust.

Hmmm.... very interesting question. I currently have an MY17 SVR as a courtesy car and I did think exactly the same today. I'l try again tomorrow and let you know my thoughts. SVR with a few bits from Urban and Glohh

Yes I find it louder in Dynamic mode and as Phil said there is more pops and bangs and when you push the gearstic over to sport as well even more pops and bangs on run down as it hold gears longer

That looks fantastic, the 22" wheels are perfect for the size of the car, I am jealous and beginning to wonder why I ordered a SDv6!!!

Estoril looks lovely in any light. More importantly, what's under the bonnet makes it so enviable Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Looks very good indeed! Thanks for the dash pics too - that's the clearest I've seen of the 2017 changes.

Very nice.

What has replaced the front seat heat button on the dash, or is this now blank? Shame if so.

I have a blank so presume that's how it is, I did ask what 'goes' there that I missed, now I have the answer I guess!

Forward Alert (beeps if you think you'll hit an object in front without braking harder).
