. After the presentation of the model that initiates the renewal of the range of the Swedish brand, Volvo shows the trim designed for drivers who like a vehicle with a more sporty and dynamic character.

The exterior design is complemented by the driver-focused interior which includes sports seats R-Design Contour in Nubuck and perforated leather. The R-Design trim will be available with a range of E-Drive motors with an output up to 400hp.

“R-Design is created for people with a passion for things that add spice to life,” said Alain Visser, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Sales and Customer Service of Volvo Car Group. “It appeals to customers that love active driving and a personal, expressive design. Every single R-Design detail is designed to contribute to the individualistic and refined expression these customers desire.”

The distinctive design of the line R-Design is visible externally through some details such as the grille, front spoiler, window frames, the integrated dual exhaust pipes, silver roof rails and on the silver mirror housings. The R-Design versions also receive special 20-inch wheels.

Inside, in addition to the R-Design Contour banks, the R-Design versions get special perforated leather steering wheel with gearshift paddles and gear shift lever. All these elements as well as the pedals, floor mats and illuminated tread plates receive specific R-Design trimming. The driver also receives a special R-Design remote control key.

Another new feature of the XC90 R-Design trim is the introduction of a tablet-like touch screen with 12.3 inches an special graphism. The main control panel has a very limited number of buttons in order to simplify the use of the options of the car as well as access to the Internet and Cloud services.
