R-DESIGN Kit now standard on the Volvo C30
Volvo has made the R-DESIGN kit standard equipment on its Volvo C30 hatchback, down from the 1.6 liter petrol engine up to the 230 horsepower turbocharged inline-5.
The R-DESIGN kit features a bodykit, rear spoiler, the R-DESIGN logo on the grille and alloy wheels, off-black T-Tec fabric with contrasting cream leather embossed with the R-DESIGN logo, blue instrument dials, a leather sports steering wheel, aluminium ridged sports pedals and a gear knob with aluminium inserts.

why it is uglier than the standard one?

definitely a step in the right direction, compared to the innocuous look of the C30 without this kit; a set of bigger wheels would fit this kit better though.

Are Volvo planning to import the C30 to Malaysia? I could’ve sworn that I heard rumours last year that they’re going to bring it it this year.

Why is the handbrake placing so weird, in far left? I’m sure quite difficult to pull up and down.

the handbrake is for wife to pull hahahaha. or maybe they cut cost as this is adapted from a left hand drive configuration?

Is this a copy & edit article from: http://www.automotoportal.com/article/the-volvo-c30-introducing-sporty-r-design-as-standard
Paul Tan says: of course it is not. I wrote it myself based on information and photos volvo provided, while that site just copied and pasted the volvo press release.
