Muddy won't be the only one Ady. I will certainly look into it as well, especially after reading JONPR's post. Not soon though as I haven't fallen out of love with RRS yet. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Hi JONPR, nice looking car, to me it looks quite similar to an F-Pace. Have you any interior photos??

I was looking at their R Design XC90 after seeing one on the road. They have come on leaps and bounds recently. Leaving other manufacturers behind.
Enjoy.
















I can just picture Muddy logging onto the Volvo configurator...

Sorry not brilliant pictures.

Those seats look really comfortable, hope you enjoy it

I agree that the XC 90 is a lovely car. I had a test drive a wee while ago and it was a good place to be. My only problem and the only thing that stopped me from seriously considering buying one is that Arnold Clark is the only Volvo dealer within a 200 mile radius of me and I wouldn't buy a bottle of screen wash from Arnold Clark. So, the only vehicles, other than another RRS, in contention at the moment are an F-Pace or A Muddy Milk Float!!

I like the Volvo T8 a lot but was worried about spending that much money on a phev - now I've more confidence thanks to the cheaper Mitsubishi I will be looking at the Volvo come time to swap

The only irritation will be the new VED hitting the Volvo being over £40k  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Yes Muddy, £310 per year for the first 5 year.
No incentive there then...

It will be £450 - currently free

That's £2250 instead of £0  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

I agree very unsure at first on a Hybrid but company car tax wise for a 74k car was a no brainer.
Now that's been changed, I would not look at something that expensive, but I am definitely sold on Hybrids, as my commute is only about 6 miles a day, and around town etc. at weekends its costing me virtually nothing on petrol, although I have never achieved the Volvo claim of mileage per charge, it does last me virtually all week on one charge.

I like the idea of more top end exec cars now going electric, but again the tax will put me off. Volvo XC90 T8 R Design Hybrid

I was considering the forthcoming Jaguar I Pace next as LR are lagging well behind in the PHEV/ZEV field but the Volvo is attractive as a private buyer too, only problems for me are I don't need either the vast size (it's bigger than a FFRR) or 7 seats
And I bet 7 up or pulling a caravan the 2.0ltrs might struggle a bit. In their configurator it's odd that you have to have 22" wheels if you have the optional air suspension, would have thought that such large wheels would have had quite an effect on efficiency. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
