Yeah I'll go with that as well.

I tend to leave on minimalist but they are all just variation on a theme.

I like the power gauge that I get on the V40. Don't know whether it means anything legit but it is quite entertaining.

It really should be possible for them to re write some software to change the look.
The setup on the V40 is much better as you can select different themes and have very different displays. Even within a theme you have options in terms of how MPG, fuel level, and a few other things are displayed. Pretty disappointed in the XC60 display and options

Do you think it will be available updates in the near future? I would love that. For example in my opinion, even knowing polestar is a trademark apart from VOLVO, but i really do think that for those who buy a polestar version or even a reprogrammed polestar engine software, should have in the menu a new display. There's plenty of space on that menu to add two or so more new displays to choose from.

I've long thought, the themes are a bit outdated. I'd prefer 'minimalist' but you get a great slab of beige across the main screen in stark contrast to the other 3 sections. I mean, come on, who signed that off?

Never bothered to change the theme (chrome rings..) as 3 of them are almost identical and the fourth one looks too much Fast & Furious for my taste.. Volvo should really add some customization to the display themes..

I switched between them all when I first got the car, been on minimalist ever since. I like the fact that the map is noticeably larger!

It also took me sometime to realise that my choice was why all the photos of Sensus online looked different to my car.
