Volvo has launched the new R-Design variant of its popular XC90. It is the sportiest version yet, featuring a range of design, dynamic and equipment upgrades.

R-Design models come with Drive Mode settings and Adjustable Steering Force as standard, allowing the driver to switch between different engine, transmission, steering and the optional air suspension.

Nick Connor, Managing Director of Volvo Cars UK, said: "The launch of the XC90 R-Design makes our premium seven-seat SUV even more distinctive and dynamic than before. Its sportier looks certainly make it stand out on the road, and its extra equipment ensures that the interior is as luxurious as it is stunning."

The XC90 R-Design is available with the D5 diesel and T6 petrol Drive-E engines, and in T8 twin engine petrol-electric hybrid form. Prices start at £49,785 OTR.
