V90 Wish List

[theminch]

About to order a V90 Momentum and trying to work out if there any extras that are *must haves* or *must nots*,

For example, is it worth getting the BLIS pack? Is Smartphone Integration worthwhile? Winter Pack, any thoughts welcome.

I know it is down to personal preference just want to really avoid any gimmicks but don't want to miss out on any *wow* features not already included.

If I were to pick just two extras it would be Zenium pack which includes 360 camera, (you have to add BLISS to get Zenium) and the Winter pack, I opted for heated screen but others prefer head up display with winter pack, I also think my heated steering wheel is great, I personally would not bother with Apple carplay/Android auto but its a personal choice.
Alternative to Zenium is the 360 camera, which is a real benefit.

I have the smartphone integration and honestly- until iOS 12 was released (support for 3rd party apps in CarPlay) it seemed like a waste of money. Now that I can use waze, google maps etc- with more apps coming soon- it seems like money well spent.

V90 is a big car- I’d add a 360 camera and front/rear parking sensors as a must (not sure if the latter come standad on momentum trim..)

As for “wow” features- for me personally there’s one tick box that I missed and I’ll never forget myself for that- trimmed dash. Yeah, it seems like a total waste of money, but trust me- if you have leather interior- leatherette dash makes the interior feel like a Bentley. And ofcourse- it’s impossible to add it post delivery..

I regret not ordering front parking sensor even tough I have 360 camera, also Matrix LED lights are amazing, I can recommend H&K sound system as well

I asked the same as you at order stage, Ive got the Pro-pack (for the winter pack, 18’s, better seats and active lights) front parkies/ park pilot, privacy glass, rear heated seats, 4 zone climate, 12’’ screen.

I’m in Glasgow weekly if you want a look.

Some of this is standard now,

I have a March 2016 xc90 with most extras, happy to catch a coffee and show you the car if that helps..... remember all the leather comes from bridge of weir

Just remember - pick what's important and useful to you. Something that someone finds really good, may not be good to you. Especially so if it's your money you are spending.

Mine is fairly basic, winter pack and family pack added - both of which I think are great for me and my use.

There's all sorts of things that I could have to make the car feel posher which would have been nice but the thing I really should have got is the 360 parking camera, as I do find it difficult to park. I'm considering getting this fitted.

If you have a 360 camera why do you need front parking sensors?

[Duri13]

Front sensors are always on. Very useful when driving in narrow or densed streets for example. You might not always realize this situation coming soon enough to switch on the camera.
