How much of a Volvo is this Evoque?
the blind spot monitoring system is also straight from Volvo

You should ask how much of the Volvo is a Ford as both LR and Volvo were owned by Ford at the same time.
The Volvo shares many components with the Freelander 2. I advised in an earlier thread that the Air Con system is identical to the Volvo's - even to the the point of fitting the same recharging caps. The Floorpan is the same as Ford S-max / Mondeo Freelander 2 -Volvo XC but highly modified for the Evoque.
So there is a lot of use of the parts bins of all three companies.
The so called 'jewelled' instrument dials are now common place on the latest USA Fords.

A note regarding the stereo, I beleive 825w will be the RMS value and 1250 the max, this is continuous power delivery, and peaks that may occur (very basic terms), hope that helps.

So my car appeared on Topix. I have the VIN (both short and long) and a build date on Topix of 5 May. It also says that there are no "open campaigns for this vehicle"...
Does that mean it's finished?

Mine also with the same build date so I guess they are brothers. They are finished and in the distribution network awaiting delivery to our dealers.

My dealer. They looked on their system and it said that it was awaiting shipment to them.
