Default Heated steering wheel
I always thought the heated steering wheel was kind of a joke. Who really needs it.

I am in a loaner now and it does not have a heated steering wheel. OMG. Looks like I was wrong. I miss my heated wheel so bad right now with Chicago just coming off of a week of below -10...

Lol

Same I felt the same the other night, I normally cycle through my Q7 and 2019 XC90 (both with heated steering wheel), then one night the wife had the Q7 and my XC90 was in the shop so I had to drive my 08 XC90 with a wooden steering wheel in 20 degree weather and it was miserable...

20 degrees above would be considered a heat wave here in Minnesota.

First heated steering wheel I ever had is in my Q7. I always thought they were silly. Now, I can't understand why they aren't standard in every vehicle!!

how do you like the XC vs the Q? I’m a long time Audi driver but my wife is leaning toward the XC... of course with a heated steering wheel.

I totally thought it was a non-essential... especially living in So California, but on those "cold" 45 degree F days, it is nice.

My first car with a heated wheel was a 2002 Maxima. Every DD car I’ve had since then has had a heated wheel. Won”t own one without.
