Default MY21 XC60 Features

I have been looking at ordering an XC60.

I cannot find any reference to power folding rear seat backs (i.e fold the rear seats down from the boot), nor the 230v socket in the rear of the car for MY21.

Does anyone know if these options/features (or any others) have been removed for 2021?

Just had a quick look on the latest configurator:
1. Power folding rear headrests - Form part of the Versatility Pack
2. 230V Socket - Not found........but I am not really surprised with the way tech has moved on. The original concept "many years ago" for the 230V socket was when folk had large bulky laptops that need a mega power supply to charge them but that has now all changed with most tech just needing a USB socket or even a wireless charging pad nowadays.

I think he means the power folding seat backs, not headrests,
They don’t seem to be available any more

That's right - it was the folding seat backs which I think would be more useful than the headrests.

It is interesting that Volvo offer wireless charging now (at a price) but to use Apple Car Play the phone has to be plugged into USB (according to the dealer).

That’s very true, Volvo need to update Sensus so that CarPlay can be wireless, like BMW.

You can get an aftermarket adaptor to allow wireless car play. Not sure how good it is.

Edit:
Just remembered there was a post on this forum about the adaptor:
