After seat belts this is the one feature that has the potential to save your life. Every new car should have it.

After running an XC60 for 3 years with a lot of options my order of priority would be
1 On Call 2 BLIS the one time you need them may save a life. My "moment" came in a downpour with next to zero visibility, when some prat was overtaking me on the inside as I was about to move in, if it wasnt for BLIS I would have been taken out as I couldnt see him but the radar picked him up, and a mulitiple motorway pileup would have been inevitable. |

I would spend the money on the Volvo safety features before anything else. I have them all on mine and find them superb and well worth it. To put things into perspective if BLIS saves you just one incident it will pay for itself several times over.
Adaptive cruise makes for a more relaxing drive and maintains that safe distance to the car in front that our own brain doesn't always do quite so well. These are just 2 examples. Mike

I’m talking as an XC90 driver, but many features are the same.
12.3” screen - yes. Like the option to have the map between dials. BLIS - came as part of a pack but good to have. Winter - well worth it - wish I’d specced heated rears instead of Carplay! Intelli-safe - XC90 comes with PA2 as standard and I love it. Use adaptive cruise all the time on A roads up, and PA on motorways.

Thanks everyone for your comments on which options are a must, much appreciate it.
I have however changed track and ordered a V90 D4 R Design with adaptive dampers in Osmium Grey. Why? Basically my inner Yorkshireman won... This will be my first Lease deal - it was too good to miss - I thought I had miss heard the guy at Volvo but after I realised he was offering me a V90 R Design on an 18 month lease 8,000 miles per year at £192 per month (6+17) and I didn't hesitate, there was no room to customise this deal, but at this price I don't think I can complain. Just have to await a date for delivery....and find a new home for my V60! |

Super choice if it is half as good as my V90 CC you will be over the moon.

Because I'm retired I don't really do early starts, so thought heated screen and steering wheel was not worth the extra money.
