My XC90 has always been like this when on Auto climate and sometimes I have to ramp up the temperature setting to get hot air from the vents. This may be a consequence of the climate system using 'feels-like' temperatures when adjusting the settings.

All my previous cars have favoured footwell heating (unless screen defrost was selected) for the very good reason that when your head is warmer than your lower body you are more likely to feel drowsy or get a headache. It's strange that Volvo don't seem to follow this scheme.
