For the last week I have been driving a 2020 XC90 T6 service loaner. I had already driven the 2020 recently and quiet frankly this is the best XC yet! This particular car has front and rear heated bucket seats as well as a heated steering wheel. When I have seen the heated wheel on the optional equipment list, I thought I would not like it. Well after a full day doing last minute shopping down in St Augustine my hands were tired and my back hurt. I decided to turn the heated seat on and discovered the heated wheel. It feels so good! I am here to say definitely get this option! I thought I would pass on my experience with it to those thinking about a new Volvo. Here is how you can tell if it has it besides ordering or looking at the window sticker. June

:lol: Ditto, I’m 55 and my hands are arthritic and often hurt in damp / cold weather. I have my steering wheel set to heat position II and it really helps! Getting old!! :lol:
Looking for a V90 to be my next Volvo, at the very least a T5.

A very practical upgrade.

xiaofei204716, you're right about it being practical. I wonder if it affects battery life much though? Probably not a big deal but just crossed my mind. Anyone know?
