It would be directly from Volvo and likely to be a call centre number.
Instead of waiting for the incoming call, we can always call the Volvo Customer Care number (They have a dedicated section within, for the Recharge) and confirm the booking. They will tell that KYC is completed and the booking is confirmed.

The call was from their call centre, even they are having very limited knowledge about things and procedures, the only answer they give is you will get a call from Volvo whenever there is any progress in the booking. They have multiple contact numbers all starting with 0124.

My order number is > 750, so I'm guessing I have some time before it comes up for allocation. I'll look for calls starting with 0124. I've emailed them a couple of times but I get a generic response stating "we have forwarded the request to concerned department who will get in touch with you". Nothing after that nor any follow up from any one.

Even I had mailed them and still waiting for their revert, i don’t know how their booking number is allocated as my SA informed that there were around 300 bookings in total including some per booking which they had taken before launch I am somewhere in 600’s the only option is to wait that’s the norm nowadays with all electric cars

From what I gathered, seems in Hyderabad there are around 12 deliveries scheduled this year(out of ~50 online bookings so far), all of which will go to those who booked offline last year(after 2021 launch announcement) and not as per online 2022 booking sequence.

Seems even though the new booking process this year was completely online, they are still trying to prioritise those who booked offline last year first. While this is a genuine thought, there could be scope for misuse by the dealers as these are offline bookings and can be prioritised to anybody.

The rest of the deliveries are scheduled from Jan onwards 🤞

This offline-online delivery situation could be same across India. If anybody can verify this with their sales, would be great.

Well it seems that they plan to deliver cars on metaverse only as there has been no updates from them since 2 months in the real world. No one has any clue neither dealers nor customer care

Unfortunately this is the case with most of the manufacturers.

To be fair on Volvo, they had made it very clear right in July that the deliveries will start only end of October. The booking page for the initial batch showed 7-9 months as the expected date range, and the current second batch have a delivery range of 11-12 months.

The XC40 Recharge was launched in India in July this year. It is available in a single variant priced at Rs 55.90 lakh (ex-showroom).

The XC40 Recharge is available with dual electric motors that generate 402 BHP and 660 Nm, allowing the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds.

The EV is powered by a 79 kWh battery pack that offers a claimed maximum range of 418 km. Volvo says that the battery pack can be recharged from 10% to 80% in 28 minutes using a fast charger.

The sage green colour (above pictured) looks more brownish-grey than green to me looks better probably in person.

Re: Volvo XC40 Recharge Electric SUV, now launched at Rs. 55.90 lakhs

Just wondering if anyone has got any updates regarding their bookings now that the vehicles are rolling off the production line? I am very tempted to upgrade my ZS EV to this but still being quoted 1 year for delivery.
