MUCH nicer in person.
I will drive it next week when I have more than 30 minutes allowed today but the interior is a killer and it all works quite well!

Saw one in a dealer in Sweden on our way north and like our previous XC70 it had an off white Leather Interior, which is a wonderful material for picking up the dye from your Levi's or Wranglers as ours did, even after being treated with a solution that claimed to stop it.
After 6 months the seats were a mixture of off white/grey & blue so the car got sold, as the marks could not be completely removed!
With 7 Seats it might appeal to BIG families or people who wish to impress.
I am looking at getting a XC90...when is a different story. I never ever thought that white leather interiors are a good idea, especially if you have kids. They DO look pretty but not very practical - the first red slushy spill will definitely leave a stain on the white leather.
I would suspect while not having seen a price list, that the 'White Leather' comes as standard, if however you would like one of the optional colours then get ready to drag along your Bank Manager to sign the cheque over and make sure you are sat down when you find out how much extra it will be!
I would actually think that black leather seats would be a zero charge for the difference. In every other model Volvo sells, only the 'inscription' edition of the leather interior charges more - white/beige/black is no charge to change. Exterior colour - black and white are the 'fee free' options - as with every Volvo.

Saw it today, with Inscription trim. Very, very nice. This will be a hit!
We drove to see 2016 Ford Explorer Limited as well, it's an unbelievable POS compared to XC90, for almost the same price! I left the dealer with the feeling that this car cost 15k more than it should.
Now I need to convince wife that we need new XC90, not Honda Odyssey as she wants (which POS of too, but the price is more fair than Ford's).
I actually quite like it...but then I have always liked the Q7, too.
there's no accounting for taste, I guess.
