Cannot comment on the XC90, but my S90 has laminated windows (was on the car - I didn't spec them)

the previous S90 I had for a couple of weeks didn't have them, and neither did the couple of demo ones I had.

To be honest, I cannot tell the difference, at least on the S90.

the "blurb" says "The glass is reinforced, which provides better protection against break-ins and improved sound insulation in the passenger compartment".

Luckily not had to test their "protection against break-ins", so cannot comment. Maybe they do offer better sound insulation than non-laminated, but I really can't tell.

Maybe they do on the XC90, I know some people have posted about road noise with certain wheel sizes.
