About to order...

[GMTRB5]

Getting ready to place my order

Current spec that I'm thinking of is:

XC90 D5 PowerPulse R Design
Premium Metallic Bursting Blue
Nappa Soft Leather Perforated Contour Seats
R-Design Carbon Fibre Inlays
Winter Pack
Family Pack
Xenium Pack
BLIS cross traffic alert
Seven Seat Comfort Pack
230v 3 pin plug socket in centre console
Heated Rear Seats
Apple CarPlay
Subwoofer

Anything I've missed?! Has anyone got the carbon fibre key fob? Is it worth paying for?

Can't wait but think I'm going to ask the dealer to aim for a September delivery to get it on a 66 plate...

Head Up Display cannot exist with Heated Windscreen.
Winter Pack contains Heated Windscreen and Winter Pack Plus HUD.
I wish I can have both items because HUD looks very nice however I like Heater screen a lot (not only in winter).

Looks about right to me, only thing I missed was front sensors, now had some aftermarket ones fitted, but if they're available in a pack or as an extra now might be worth it. The bonnet looks a lot bigger than it actually is!!

Drop heated screen in favour of HUD and get auxiliary heater. It's a different level of comfort having the car pre-conditioned in winter. Even if you don't pre-condition you get warm air within 30sec of starting the car (I once forgot to precondition on a frosty morning and all ice was off the screen in about 2-3min after starting the car). Without fuel heater it takes 5-10min before the engine warms up - people complain it takes ages as engine is very efficient. I used it since November and still put it on now in April on cold mornings (I am just outside London). It warms up the engine too so it runs smoother. This is one option that I absolutely must have now I tried it. Many people also can't stand heated screen because they find the little embedded wires intrusive.

Polestar is a must too.

These 3 things will add about 3k to your price but they are worth it. If over budget - drop HUD.

Just to clarify Winter Pack and Winter Pack Plus - I don't believe HUD is the difference.

HUD is available on both Winter Pack and Winter Pack Plus, in each case substituting the Heated Windscreen and increasing the price.

Winter Pack Plus is only available for Momentum and adds Active Bending Headlights with Adaptive Shadow Technology, which is a standard feature on R-Design and Inscription. I think the removal of this light tech from the Momentum is possibly a MY17 thing.

A note on HUD: We have this on our X5 and have ordered on XC90. When we were purchasing the X5 second hand we thought the HUD would just be a bit of a gimmick, but how wrong we were... within moments of using it, my wife was convinced she would order on any new car. Its not at all distracting, but puts key info right in your line of sight, brilliant. Others who have driven the X5 all say the same (and the X5 HUD isn't a patch on the Volvo one). Personal preference I know, but everyone who sees it thinks the same.

Doesn't Polestar increase insurance premium by around 10%?

I believe these are included in the Xenium Pack, which includes:

- Parking Camera 360 Surround View
- Park Assist Pilot - Automatic Parallel and 90o Parking (includes Front and Rear Park Assist)

I don't believe they are available as an al a carte option, so must be in one of the above.

I would do the same.Also a lot of people on the swede speed forum have complained about the cross lines on the heated front windscreen.
