New car ordered XC90

Moonlanders · Dec 20th, 2019, 17:50

After much research and questions on here (thanks all for your guidance), I have finally selected and today ordered my car.

XC90 Inscription Pro T8
Polestar
Onyx Black
Charcoal Upholstery
Metal Mesh
Xenium Pack
Bowers and Wilkins
Tinted and Laminated Windows
Heated rear seats
Intellisafe Surround
Integrated Running Boards

The dealership had one on order as a demonstrator, so able to change the spec and delivery expected in March. Happy Christmas

Congratulations! Brilliant specification which is very similar to my XC60. Only difference is that you've managed to get a lead time of four months instead of eight

Hope you get a great deal of pleasure from the car and I look forward to joining you as a T8 owner (albeit the smaller brother) a few weeks later.

That's one heck of a car. Have fun with it.

Thanks. The XC90 lead time appears to be shorter than the XC60 generally, but I did drop lucky that one was already in the queue with still a week to go until no more changes were allowed.

Hope you enjoy yours too!

I would think that a dealership would also spec air suspension for a demonstrator.
Not that this car is "incomplete" in any way without it, but it's a nice option to sell (£££)

Great spec, the only thing I would change would be amber seats in place of charcoal, the amber looks stunning with black paintwork. Also if the pro does not have tinted rear windows I would add them too.

I think the Pro spec includes air suspension - it does on the Rdesgn

Moonlanders · Dec 20th, 2019, 21:09

It is in the Pro spec, yes. And I have added the tinted windows.

Agree amber seats look great. To be honest I was concerned they would show up marks easier than charcoal and as I plan to keep the car at least 6 years (watch me change when the next Gen come out!!) I thought charcoal was a safer bet.

I have blond interior etc. Much brighter. Just needs a bit more tlc.
