The XC60 does look good but despite the hot turbocharged engine under the hood, the owner may feel a little jealous of his peer with an Audi Q5′s numerous bodykit and tuning options. No worries, Volvo’s new R-Design package for the Volvo XC60 will help buyers of Volvo’s sporty SUV spice it up a little. The changes are actually really really subtle though. Look after the jump for a gallery of the XC60 R-Design as well as another of a normal XC60 so you can “spot the difference”.

Sweet! The bog-standard XC60 looks lame now…heheh…
more sportier? this is an SUV, not a sport car lah.
the kit complements the car nicely!
handsome… but not sporty enough..
slick and nice.
Lines of SUV, Crossovers and Cross Tourers will be blurred….
I like the interior design of the car.. very cool!

Hope this car can be as sucessful as its big bro XC90
