Volvo XC60

I realise that there are some discrepancies between the British and American car markets. For example, prices are similar in dollars to pounds (rip-off Britain).

Volvo in the United States has announced a mid life upgrade for the XC60 including a full sunroof as standard on all models, and a better trim on the R design.

Is this likely to happen on European and in particular UK models? Is it just a matter of time? Have they offered it in America first because it is a bigger car market?

Should I wait for a 2020 facelift in the hope that these improvements will occur on UK cars?

    Do you really expect anyone on here to be privy to Volvo’s marketing strategy?

    Minor spec details - like sunroofs and trim - often differ market-by-market.

    I'd be surprised at a facelift so soon, given the current XC60 was only launched just over two years ago.

    Ask a dealer. They might have a better insight into Volvo's plans.

    You can get the full sunroof on an XC60 now if you want one. I'm surprised it's standard in The States, I wouldn't want one in the warmer climes.
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.
