Volvo V70’s R-DESIGN package will be able to be ordered from this month onwards in the UK, with the first R-DESIGN V70s to be delivered in August this year.
The R-DESIGN package includes stiffer anti-roll bars and bushings as well as 20mm front and 15mm rear lower ground clearance to help with handling and steering responsiveness. Aesthetically, the R-DESIGN kit features a silver matt-finish front grille with the R-DESIGN badge, silver matte door mirrors, chrome exhaust pipes, a rear spoiler, and 18 inch Cratus alloy wheels.
On the interior of the car, the leather upholstery has the R-DESIGN logo embossed, and the front seats are slightly more sportier with better side support. There is also an R-DESIGN leather steering wheel, aluminium interior trim, sports pedals, a sports gearlever, and new instrument dials with blue inserts.

This Volvo estate a.k.a. wagon is so famous as soccer mom’s mode of transport. Maybe it is because they can bring their dog at the rear comfortably + their children.

if the R-design is supposed to make it sporty, i am not impressed.
then again, Volvos are not meant for sporty purposes. they’re meant for people who want a safe car.

cut that crap, scv! . u expect tht volvo would be a boring safe car wth a box design ? the is for the people who love safe car and they want to look sporty at the same time…come on..F1 is the safest car in the world yet the fastest car in the world..
