Pictures of the rear compartment in blond make it look enormous and very light.
IMHO the black carpets make the boot more hearse-like.

I think lighter shades go better with the linear walnut. Very happy with my Amber and it's ageing well for my MY18 car. I know this has been an issue with earlier cars so perhaps they've had a word with the suppliers.

Blond with (retrofitted) Linear Walnut.

I meant blonde inside, white outside!

I went for blond, thinking that it goes a long way to making for a bright and airy interior. Pleased with the choice so far.

Blond's the way forwards

We have it with the darker wood inlays and it looks fantastic.

Ours has the Nappa leather option and it's wearing reasonably well. The blond seats do pick up the dye from jeans though. Still wouldn't change it.

Other half compares it very favourably with high end sports cars I have/have had...noted just today that the XC90 really raises the bar for other cars. I tend to agree.

I have an xc60 SE lux nav (220) start stop ( cant remember any thing else) with blonde interior and carpets. It has volvo fitted black mats and load carpet cover.
As i have the mats it makes the blonde carpets quite practical

I find the blond interior beautiful, but I don't want it in our own cars.

Im so bored with black and grey everywhere. I loathe it. I supppose it makes sense to hide the filth from dogs/coal mines etc.

Today I changed my xc90 R Design with its dark interior for an Inscription with the blonde seats / headlining and walnut trim - really pleased - makes the interior much more plush. Prefer the nappa inscription seats to the nubuck R design too despite not have the extension at the front - definitely softer and more comfortable for me.
