My 2012 xc90 R Design doesn’t have a heated screen
Hi I was wondering if anyone knows if a heated front screen was an extra on XC90 R Design in 2012. I am surprised that an R Design doesn’t have such an essential item

Back in the day, the winter pack included heated seats and headlight washers. The heated front screen was, I think, “inherited” from Ford. Perhaps it wasn’t available in 2012. |

I think it used to be part of the 'Winter Pack'. This also included heated seats, steering wheel and washer jets.

An electric screen isn't essential in a volvo .. You haven't missed much 👍 The standard system starts melting the frost after a couple of minutes due to the built in electric PTC air heater element in the climate unit . even a 35 year old 340 produces warm air after a few minutes due to the generous heat exchanger and coolant and air flow. A heated windscreen is a wonderful bonus in a 1960's classic car though .
