I have paddles and never used them.

Love them.......but disappointed that they are NOT an option/available in the UK on the new XC60 unless you order a "R-Design" model......

You can get them if you buy the sports steering wheel as an accessory.....but agree, very strange! All other manufacturers seem to offer them! Typical Volvo!

Great. This answers the same query for me.

I’ve ordered a V90 R Design and was wondering the same.

Was supposed to be available wk 3 in March but received call today to advise it would be into April now before available :-(

Oh well, dealer has promised to let me borrow their Demo V90 whilst I wait.

I have an S90 lease on order - the deals on these two models are so good at the moment - I couldn't get a Focus or a Qashqai for the same monthlies.

I have v90 redesign 17 reg bursting blue . Im either dumb or blind cause I can't find any paddles on my car.
Also regards lease deals fantastic value at min , bet I could have saved £80 a month compared to last august whenever i took delivery.

I agree with the lease deals, there are ford fiesta lease deals out that are higher monthly payments!

Paddles not included with the R package in France- had to pay for them :/ Use them all the time though!

Typed without reading page 2 of the thread.

I collected my Feb 17 S90 R-Design today expecting it to have paddles. It didn’t have them. I’m guessing they are standard on 18MY cars and options on 17MY cars??

Either way I don’t care, I’d never use them.

Slightly off topic but I saw a lovely bursting blue R Design in the Ikea car park a month or so ago. Parked right round the back away from everything else. Wondering if this was you? I parked near as a) I don't like getting my car bashed! And b) I wanted a nose at the car!
