OMG low profile tyres
Many years ago, I had a mad moment and purchased a BMW 3 series 335d coupe with ultralow profile wheels with run flat tyres. The car went like stink, but the ride quality felt like being on iron rails, with the tiniest imperfection in the road jarring right through your bones. Sold the car a few years latter as it just became less and less enjoyable to drive on UK condition roads. I always thought it would have been a lovely car to own if I lived in the UAE with their beautiful smooth as glass roads. The more rubber between you and the road is what its all about with an SUV and if you could get 16 wheels as an option, Id get them! 20 wheels on an SUV is just mad.

This will possible also lead to premature damage of the upholstery.

echo comments on here. i have a 2019 V90 model.
worst seats i've had in 20 years of volvos comprising 11 or 12 cars, including V40 (old and new); multiple S60's/V70's/C70/XC90's. This will be the last of these modern volvo's i get. the styling looks great, but dislike so many other things about it including seat comfort. |

2014 XC90 SE LUX < 2015 XC90 R Design. 2014 had 235/60 R18 < 2015 has 275/40 R20 2014 had full leather sofa seats < 2015 has R Design half leathers. At 6ft 4 I find the new R design seats very comfortable - doing 5 hr Friday so will update if that changes - and it's really nice not to have to brace myself against the door when driving and going round a corner!! The older models seats had absolutely zero bolster and you slid off. Less wallow/roll, more composed and less crashy. Even on standard shocks (not air) I'd say overall comfort and drivability has improved greatly. Bonus on the new model is I can actually fit a passenger behind me with the seat fully back to accommodate my legs.. |

I have a XC90 and I was really keen on Volvo seats basing it on a friends older Volvo I had driven. I have a really bad back as a result and hate the seat. Like the car otherwise. Cant afford to change so will try and find a position that works. My other car is a Lexus and the seats are heavenly. I might seriously consider a swap to Lexus RX if this seat things gets too much on my nerves.
