I need 3rd row for emergency use, in fact I'm replacing old XC90 which we use for the same reason. No off-road use other than camping..
I'm in Canada, different specs and allocation, order placed in late October should come theoretically in late March. Should be build by end of January.
MRSP and some typical dealer fees on top.

But, But, but... You just leave them folded down if you need cargo space instead of seats?!?

What am I missing?

Ok, though it seems like a rather small piece of the puzzle...

$2675 for something I have no desire for isn't small to me. That's how much the price would have gone up.

Man, I get it. It’s a lot of coin for the third row seat. My oldest is in college and the younger three still at home in high school. I had a 110 on order and had it with the third row seat. Before my build date, they started building the 130s, so I switched my order to a 130 with the 3rd row seat. Once I get the kids out of school, I’m moving to a 5 seater 110.

My youngest is 27. 2 kids and their two spouses--if all 6 of us, are going somewhere together, any of them would volunteer to drive a 2nd car before climbing into a 3rd row. 🤣

I'm not paying $80k. It's more than 4% for me. I also have not reached the income level where I'm willing to part with $2600 to obtain something I don't want in the, first place.

If you're there, let me know and I'll give you a kiss for $2500.😘
