Hi Mate
Before you buy it be careful and make sure your car can wear it.
Some versions of xc90 such as se lux cant take a spare because extra equipment in the space fouls the mounting of it (rear passenger ac comp and some tow bars read this else where on site cos mine has no spare fitted either).
Hope this helps

Hope this helps, but the spare wheel was an option from 2008MY on all XC90's, yes the equipment level is partually to blame, but Sport/R-Design models excepted, that was a weight vs CO output driven as it decided the tax banding of the car (marketing ... eh!)

So some dealers automatically spec'd the cars with spares, some didnt, and if you didnt ask you didnt get when ordering from new ... you got a can of gunk instead.
I believe all XC90's except the Sport/R-Design models can be retro fitted with the spare and winch if it doesnt have it already, but as xco says you really need to check, oh and NO the full size spare will not fit under the car, it must be a spacesaver tyre and wheel.

Hope it helps
