EXTERIOR

Characteristic XC design
Volvo XC60 has a characteristic XC design language, with a blend of passenger- and coupe-like car shapes – including a touch of well-known Volvo design elements. The formula-drive stance, with big wheels “in the corners”, lifted visual platform and a very high waistline – all contribute to a sturdy and robust impression. The V-shape design, i.e. front spoiler, LED lamps, bonnet, goes all the way to the rear.

Traditional departure.

The new compact C30 is a remarkable departure from the ‘traditional’ Volvo mindset, The C30 has stance and casts a presence far larger than its actual size. The dynamic front is characterised by the angled headlamps and the low, wide grille. The interior reinforces the athletic abilities of the Volvo C30. The individual rear seats with generous legroom make the car a genuine four seater.

Volvo Cars R-design programme – a sporty factory-fitted option package – is now also available for the Volvo XC90. R-design is tailor made for customers who want a car with refined attributes. New R-design features are the optional 20-inch wheels, the dual exhaust pipes, a unique skid-plate and the R-design badges in the grille, on the steering wheel and on the seats as well as rear-view mirror caps in silk matt finish.

The new Volvo V50 shares the same philosophy and virtues as previous sports wagons from Volvo. Strong emphasis on “sport”, as well as “wagon”. The Volvo V50 is the perfect car for people who want a youthful, cool look. And it comes with practical details and extra loading space. The new Volvo V50 is a genuine premium car, with properties that appeal directly to young families on the move looking for a spacious vehicle.

The combination of Volvo’s active All Wheel Drive, DSTC stability enhancement and smooth steering give the Volvo S80 true world class winter beating properties. In order to ensure the best possible power and road grip whatever the situation, the Volvo S80 T6 and V8 models are equipped with Volvo’s active All Wheel Drive system as standard. The torsionally rigid body, DSTC system and dynamic chassis guarantee driving pleasure and stability.

The Volvo S40 saloon is clearly part of the family. The Volvo saloon resemblance is all there – from the distinctive black egg-crate grille and V-shaped bonnet to the full-length pronounced shoulders and tightly sculpted rear with distinctive tail lights. The youthful nature and dynamic performance has encouraged a revolutionary approach to interior layout influenced heavily by contemporary high-end technology design.

If you’ve been searching for a stylish, sporty machine then look no further – the Volvo S60 is the definitive sports saloon. Blessed with perfectly sculpted body work and a luxurious interior, it certainly looks the part. But it’s under the bonnet where it really excels. The T5 2.4 litre, turbocharged, in-line, 5 cylinder engine delivers outstanding performance – designed to deliver maximum torque from low and medium engine speeds.
