Yes, still have the B pillar vents but not the C pillar vents from the 7-seat Comfort option.

It had previously struck me as strange that centre rear vents weren't standard, even if not independently temperature controlled. This set-up with 4 rear vents is much better.

Excellent, resolved my concern about 2 zone struggling to cope and looks much cooler.

Correct.

What happens if you stop again - does the video track skip forward to align with the audio one?
Yes, the video and audio are always in sync; there's no waiting for the video to catch up. The cut-off speed seems to be about 5 kph. The video image returns (completely in sync) just before you come to a complete stop.

It's a real shame that a TV tuner option isn't available for the UK market as I think this would have been quite useful.

It would be nice if there was some way to have an app or even Car Play to allow live streaming apps to function.

There is always the physical tablet that could be used to watch tv streams but then it is more kit to carry around

Maybe :D

Agree, I posted a thread on this a while back. I love tv in my xc60 and will miss it when the 90 arrives. Really disappointed tbh...

Interior pics
 
5 Attachment(s)
I must say that the quality of the interior is up there with my previous Lexus.

I ordered Walnut Inlays as a dealer-fitted option but despite telling them about the possibility of wrong parts (based upon Lozza's work) they still got it wrong so I'll have to wait a while longer for them.

Probably a good job I don't have young kids...

I have a one year old and a three year old... and have ordered the blond leather :)

I prefer the lighter look and feel it makes it more airy. I do fully expect to be cleaning / protecting it more often. No pain no gain!

In answer to some of the previous posts...

Ever the curious one, what's the meaning behind the number plate?
It's 'photoshopped'. I read somewhere that its not a good idea to put your number plate on a public forum so I took the '00' from the first part of the reg and placed it over the last 2 letters. (Sorry!)

Quote:

Are those 19" I see or am I being silly?
They are 19" because of the road noise issues.

Quote:

I guess I will take a day or two off when I get mine to play around
That's actually not a bad idea!

I was going to ask if you lived near Huddersfield
I'm about 20 miles away in a village near Wakefield. But you're correct, there is that 'Yorkshire' look to it.

(Re the house/stonework: although the house is about 20 years old, the stone is well over 100 years old. It was reclaimed from an old brewery that was being demolished. Each piece of stone is incredibly dense and extremely heavy. Extra deep foundations were required.)

Nice, glad you are getting the walnut as I think that is much better than the blond/steel look.
They have done a great job on the interior as well as the exterior. Some tweaks I suggested on the Volvo forum was that black seat belts would be more practical and look good, along with black headliner. But this is nit picking and just my view if I had a choice.
Thanks for taking the time to take the pics as they are great to see.

I think it is one of those designs where black or chrome grille both look great.
