Volvo is expanding its R-Design trim package to include its V70 sport wagon that “spotlights a new dimension” of the best-selling vehicle, according to the Swedish automaker.
The V70 R-Design option package will feature a variety of exterior and interior enhancements such as a chrome or “silk metal finish” R-Design badged grille, chrome fog light and rearview mirror housings, a bigger exhaust tip and a body colored rear spoiler.
In an effort to slightly improve handling performance, engineers have lowered the car around a half-inch and installed bigger 18-inch R-Design aluminum wheels. According to Volvo, this combination is said to be a balanced performance package that maintains Volvo’s traditional drivability in severe weather conditions.
Most of the R-Design treatment on the V70 was focused inside the passenger cabin, with unique perforated leather trimmings and improved bolstering on all seats. The wagon’s standard steering wheel has been replaced by a smaller sports wheel, while the standard rubber pedals were swapped for aluminum pieces.
