If you are a fan of Volvo, you have probably heard about Volvo R-Design, and you like know everything there is to know about past Volvo R cars. If you are shopping for a new Volvo, you may have come across the R-Design trim when configurating your vehicle, and you may be wondering what it offers and how it differs from other Volvo model trims.
What is Volvo R-Design?
Volvo R-Design models are all about infusing a bit more sportiness and styling into current Volvo vehicles. The genesis of the Volvo R-Design trim can be traced back to the Volvo R models that first launched in 1995 with the Volvo 850 R. Volvo R was a designation reserved to the high-performance models in the Volvo lineup and any Volvo with an R after its numbered designation was the sportiest, most powerful Volvo you could get in that lineup.
Of course, the two most distinctive Volvo R models were the Volvo S60 R and the Volvo V70 R of the early 2000s. As for Volvo R-Design, it was first introduced back in 2008 as a special trim offered across the Volvo lineup that delivered sportier styling and more aggressive chassis and suspension tuning for a livelier driving experience.
What makes Volvo R-Design models stand out?
A Volvo R-Design model stands out on the road with a bold, sporty design highlighted by larger wheels, unique front and rear fascias, a unique, darkened grille, and an interior featuring seats with more generous side bolsters and exclusive upholstery among a range of other elements.
Today, Volvo R-Design offers buyers a no-compromise compromise between comfort and sportiness, giving both in bundles. A Volvo R-Design model will handle better thanks to stiffer springs and dampers, revised chassis dynamics and a lower drag coefficient. When you drive a Volvo R-Design model, you get an extra touch of performance to balance out the inherent comfort of the vehicle, enjoying both and sacrificing none.
