You're correct. Roof rails weren't a standard item for the Sport SE model

Possibly. But as someone who has owned two XC90s, one with and one without, I can say that the reduction in wind noise at motorway speed is noticeable (and welcome), and therefore possibly there's an improvement in fuel efficiency to be had with it. Depends I guess on what your taste is and whether or not you actually intend to use them. My V8 gives considerably less engine noise than the D5, hence I'm personally glad of the extra hush.
