Pretty sure cameras are of higher resolution/quality so there may be other hardware differences too but shouldn't be anything major. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Yes, sorry,, has four instead of five cameras but with a higher resolution of 1.2 mega pixels each to allow the birds-eye view BMW-style. 

Just had a look on my order at the dealers , the tow eye covers are shown as " corris grey tow eye covers " .
I will have them painted carpathian grey to match the body colour I think .
Still have the same build date so should be on the road early September .

Hi....New here!!

Yesterday I ordered a new RRS Dynamic in Carpathian Grey after much deliberation and still not too sure i have made the right decision as initially it was going to be Corris. Wanted a change from Black after having two black Audis A5's previously and were a nightmare to keep clean with the RRS having more paintwork to keep clean

Must admit its worried me a bit as i have seen pics of the colour on line and the colours vary so windily depending on the light but having read this thread and seen a few pics on here i think it was the right decision it does look a classy colour.

I have gone with the all cirrus interior with Grand black wood trim which should set it off nicely.

Delivery is mid September so cannot wait.

Well done DAVEO , sounds great , are you having any goodies . Exciting times .

Thanks Fletcher

Yes added a few toys, surround cameras meridian sound system, heads up display and a few cosmetic upgrades

I've just seen an MY16 Carpathian Grey in my dealer's garage which they received this week. Absolutely beautiful. There wasn't a causeway to compare it. Way back when I was first considering an order I was planning Causeway which was then cancelled and I was nervous of ordering a Carpathian without seeing it, so I didn't.

But if I had gone ahead with Carpathian I'd have been delighted.

@Screenwipe did you take any pictures by any chance mate?

I'm sorry, I didn't. I'll ask my dealer to take a few when he's next across and I'll send them onto you. Stratstone Mayfair lest you're around there and want to pop in

@Screenwipe thanks for posting the pictures. Definitely looks lighter than the Causeway Grey.

Although it looks like a nice colour I'm glad I switched my order back to Santorini Black last minute if I'm honest.

Here is a confirmed Carpathian Grey being prepped. I ordered my new release version but insisted in seeing the colour before signing! It looks absolutely beautiful, the contrast with the black is noticeable but subtle and it's made me go for the Santorini Roof!

Thanks for that Seems light enough for the Santorini contrast to work but dark enough to be different from my current Orkney Grey. Different shade depending on light too  Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top
