In a review article on /the Verge/, the following paragraph made me blink:
<quote>
There is a permanent zone at the bottom for climate controls,
which persists no matter what else you're doing on the screen.
Except for the specific buttons for defrosters,
everything is controlled by touchscreen. This sounds annoying,
but the _HVAC_ system is good enough that you can usually
just set your temperature and forget it.
Even in the 120-plus degree heat of the California desert,
I didn't have to fiddle with specific fan settings to feel comfortable.

As you can see by the underlining, "HVAC" stood out for me ... as strange.
The usage I'm familiar with for HVAC is High Volume Air Conditioning,
as in multi-story building climate control.
The V90 needs that much air conditioning?
(What happened to cars having A/C?)
