Sporty R-Design treatment for new Volvo S90

Volvo Cars has revealed a performance-inspired R-Design version of the new S90. Central to the S90 R-Design is an advanced sports chassis which provides a spirited, road-hugging drive.

“R-Design delivers an extra edge to our elegant new 90-series sedan, with a winning combination of a sportier, more responsive drive with clearly visible performance styling,” says Björn Annwall, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Sales and Customer Service at Volvo Cars.

Sporting a new front-end design with spoiler-integrated fog lights, the R-Design model comes with a unique grille and extended piano black trim both front and rear. New 5-spoke matt black diamond-cut wheels add to the performance feel.

A wide range of styling cues are included on the inside – from unique décor trim, pedals and floor mats, to the sporty contour seats and special steering wheel, including a high level interior illumination package that radiates attention to detail.

R-Design derivatives of the new S90 range will be available in South Africa in 2017, following the local launch of the new S90 later this year.

“After the all-new XC90 made an absolutely enormous impact across the globe – including winning the 2016 WesBank/ SAGMJ Car of the Year title here at home – the new S90 is a continuation of Volvo’s renaissance in South Africa and around the world,” says Greg Maruszewski, Managing Director at Volvo Car South Africa.
