V60/V90 Heated windscreen standard?

[MikeGMT]

Looking at the MY19 Spec/Price-List for the new V60, and Momentum has the manual Interior Mirror and no heated windscreen, unless the Winter Pack was added.
Momentum Pro gains above the standard spec; Auto Dimming Interior Mirror and Head Up Display or Heated Windscreen as a no cost option in lieu of the HUD.

With regard to the Auto Dimming Interior Mirror, if you have the rear and cargo area windows darkened then I find the mirror doesn't really do a great deal.

Thanks, could you post a link to where I can find that?

I find I can see the elements if I look for them - but in normal driving when looking 'through' the windscreen they're not visible at all - even at night. On the other hand - that's using old-spec eyes - those with a newer spec might find the elements noticeable

But I don't know of a way to check that the elements are undamaged/all work, I'm afraid, although I've only ever had one instance of a failed element and that was in a previous car, so I suspect they're pretty robust.

It's one I had at home from last year when I was choosing my car. If I find a link I'll post it.

I can see the elements easily during the day but not at night. I drive in varifocals which is probably why.

I am sure when I was toying with the configurator when the V60 first came out in 2018 that a heated windscreen was standard even on Momentum trim, unless you went for the HUD. Can't remember if this was the same for the V90.

However, looking now on Autotrader, the Specifications don't mention a heated windscreen unless the full "Winter Pack" was specced.
Does the presence of the front windscreen shaped button below the infotainment screen indicate the presence of a heated windscreen? If not, what does that button do when the HUD is fitted?

Is there anyway of testing it during a test drive when it's 30C outside??! I don't trust the dealer to be able to confirm, TBH.

Winter pack was standard on plus models, not on the basic cars. It was an option on these. Make sure you buy the right model as upgrades are not available or very limited.

Found a lot of MY19 brochures on line, but no Price/Specs, so scanned my copy. Hope you find it useful.

HUD is not available with heated windscreen as far as I am aware. Heated windscreen is part of the winter pack which is standard on some models, but not the basic models. The button just puts blower on max if heated windscreen not fitted.
