BRITISH buyers have really taken to Volvo’s stylish, R-Design sports models which account for up to 60 per cent of sales of some model lines, and 25 per cent of the Swedish company’s overall sales in the UK.
Given that, the UK is expected to be one of the largest markets for the latest runners in the R-Design stakes – the new S60 and V60 models.
The R-Design package is available across the S60 and V60 range with all cars benefiting from the sportier looks of the R-Design variant.
Features include uprated suspension and springs plus a Corner Traction Contol system as well as a Dynamic Stability and Traction Control system.
On the outside, the cars have a redesigned front valance while a distinctive diffuser houses twin exhaust tailpipes. Special, five-spoke 18-inch Diamond cut alloy wheels are fitted.
Inside, the driver and front passenger sit in sports seats with cushions designed to give closer side support than before. The special leather/textile upholstery is available trimmed in off-black and ceramic light, or in an all-black variant, both with contrasting stitching.
