Yet to find a dealer willing to go past 12-13% pre-incentive despite them having 30-50 of them on the lots with more in transit. Would be a great lease if Volvo readjusted the MF down from 0.00284 base like they did on S60, XC60, etc.
Depends on the region due to both VCFS and government. Some states make EVs sales tax exempt. The 0.00284 base MF doesn’t help, though.
12% discount pre-incentive… you mean before the 7.5k off or before the 7.5k+5k off. If the latter then that seems pretty solid.
I highly doubt anyone is actually taking a loss on these. They will move.
I’m waiting for these to go 15% off pre. At current price, a model Y is a better vehicle.
I was considering one of these, but it has a honking huge bump in the middle of the floor that makes the middle seat unusable even for my 9 year old.
I happened to be close by a local dealer yesterday, so I drove by and took a peek at these things. They are definitely not bad looking. I would drive one for sure. I actually think these look better than the X version as I like the tapering rear roofline better, but presumably that comes with a penalty of less rear interior volume.
For folks that have loyalty in the NY/NJ/mid Atl area… these could be very very solid.
The quote I have here in Florida (with A plan which I believe is the same as loyalty here, only $500) is $0 drive off and 499 a month including 7% tax with MSDS ($542/mo without MSDs). That’s not bad, but as noted by @dazzle above, that’s getting perilously close to a model Y.
How did the wool feel?
Any input on step in height in comparison to a XC60?
Should be lower with $13,500 in rebates/incentive, I guess? But with a higher mileage, that’s close enough to $499/mo
I only looked at these from the outside. I knew I wasn’t serious enough about one to waste a sales persons time.
I believe it is $12,500 in rebates here, plus 500 for A plan. MSRP on this one was also around $60k. And yes, it was a 24/10.
I went in and drove one today, since I was there anyway, I tried for 11 pre-incentive, they wouldn’t do it, but a very polite and professional experience. It’s a pretty nice car. I’d pay 399/mo for an ultimate without loyalty or A-plan.
I was nearby a local dealer yesterday, and drove one. Rear view is horrible, but it drove ok (had fun adjusting to the one pedal drive mode)
Ultimate trim w/ Pixel headlight (wasn’t sure if this is different than the standard LED headlight)
I was quoted for $452/month (only pay first month at sign plus the maximum MSDs - 10k/36). PA, so 9% tax included, also they are buying my XC60 lease (equity is about $5000) that are due in a few months.
Nope, I didn’t sign.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this already, but real world usage can yeild a little over the rated 250 mi range.
It only got 158 miles on Bjorn’s 75mph test per this.
That’s abysmal
For a “luxury” SUV (plenty of posts debating Volvo as lux 
), a $500/mo $0.DAS is pretty good.
And as a commuter, range is almost meaningless. Even 100 miles is sufficient for daily usage as long as you have charging either at home or work.
Saw some videos and the sloped “sportback” does eat into rear seat headroom and cargo space. It also does not have the sliding cover so you get the open glass Tesla Y effect.
I find it weird that they remove the rear wiper for this slanted rear glass vs the steeper XC40 but I guess the aerodynamics clear it better than the more vertical back glass on the XC.
Must not be selling as well as the XC40 to get these incentives.
Okay, then my source is not reliable. If that’s the case, it’s probably the worst range for a modern EV.
I think car and driver (or one of the other outlets) observed 250 miles in mixed city/highway use, but I always look to the 75mph range test data. That’s where range actually matters, imo.
Not an engineer or a designer, but the C40 backlight appears to be have a curve to it (so it’s possible a wiper just wouldn’t do a very good job).
What are you assuming for the extra $1000? Loyalty? A Plan?
Toyota bz4x and Subaru Solterra have entered the chat
C40, same with XC40 EV - you have to get the Ultimate trim to get the heat pump.
