Volvo C30 R Design Pricing Announced
Unique style and exclusivity starts at just $25,700

Following hot on the heels of the news of the Limited Edition C30 R-Design, Volvo Cars of North America, LLC (VCNA) today announced pricing for the 400 C30s that will go on sale in April. With a base MSRP of just $25,700* the Limited Edition C30 R-Design brings new levels of style and unique appointments to the smallest and most expressive car in Volvo’s lineup.

At first glance, the C30 R-Design catches the eye with its distinctive exterior enhancements. Premium touches include a matte-silver finish for the outside mirror housings, front grille surround and iconic Volvo grille “strap.” To signify that this C30 is truly special, an R-Design badge has been affixed to the grille. Customers can select from four exterior colors: Black Sapphire, Titanium Grey, Orinoco Blue and Passion Red. Sport Body kit, tailgate spoiler, large diameter exhaust tips, etc. are additional exterior enhancements that add to the C30 R-Design’s dynamic personality.

Stepping inside the cabin, the driver and three passengers are rewarded with sporty and premium cues befitting the stature of this truly special Volvo. Seats are swathed with off-black Flex-tech while the cushions and backrests are trimmed in contrasting crème-colored leather. The R-Design logo is embossed neatly into the front bucket seatbacks.

Inspired by Volvo’s legendary high-performance R models, the C30 R-Design sports a blue-face instrument cluster. The C30’s signature super-slim center console is finished with a unique inlay with subtle circular patterns that take the standard aluminum inlay to the next level. A special leather-wrapped steering with aluminum inlays proudly displays the R-Design logo.

Additional features include sport pedals, sport shifter, and floor mats.

Like the regular production C30, the R-Design delivers an exhilarating driving experience with its turbocharged T5 5-cylinder engine that produces 227-horsepower and 236 lb.-ft. of torque from 1,800 to 5,000 rpm. Equipped as a complete package which includes 18? Atreus wheels and Sirius Satellite Radio with a 6 month introductory subscription as std. equipment, customers can select from an abbreviated list of options for the C30 R-Design including 5-speed Geartronic transmission, DVD-based navigation system with real time traffic, power driver’s seat, Climate Package, power glass moonroof, bi-xenon headlights, Serapis alloy wheels and Dynaudio premium sound system.

Like the power it produces, however I'm not a fan of the aero kit. Think the upturned lip is a bit severe.

Also is it me or does anyone else remember that a couple months ago Volvo said it was killing the "R" moniker on all its vehicles. So why this concept is called an "R" model is beyond me.

SHRTBUS. In actuality, I did read the article. And I acknowledge that this was a CONCEPT vehicle and not specifically an "R" model in the concept of S60R was an R model. I also realize that the word "Design" follows similar to "Line" following an "S" for Auid.

My point was that the letter "R" wether with the word "Design" or any other word is quite funny considering volvo made the bold statment that their would be no more R badged volvo's.

I realize this is nit picking, however I just thought it might be HUMOROUS that 2 months after Volvo said it was erasing the letter "R" from its vehicles, that a car that had been highly modified would have the letter "R" on it once again.

That was my only point.

It's too bad Volvo doesn't offer a boost in the horsepower department.

I guess they thought the car was too feminine and decided that they needed a boy racer look to it? And without a power boost as well.
