The R-
design
variant of the multi-award-winning Volvo XC90 has it all: Compelling
performance, distinctive styling, and, of course, legendary Volvo safety. With its
sports-tuned chassis, the Volvo XC90 R-
design
is not shy – especially not around
corners. The exceptionally agile Volvo XC90 R-
design
secures its high-traction road-holding ability courtesy of a unique,
sports-tuned chassis, sports-calibrated steering, and sophisticated stability control technologies. The result is a vehicle that
feels quicker and more responsive, yet remarkably composed and purposeful. This is preventive safety from Volvo that helps
keep the thrill of driving (and much more) alive.

seats
The leather R-
design
seats are covered in two premium
grades of chrome-free hide with a contrasting colour
inlay and embossed R-
design
logo. The front seats
feature extra padding and beefier side bolsters to hug
you in the corners.
sports-tuned chassis
The Volvo XC90 R-
design
has a specially tuned
chassis that separates this vehicle from the crowd.
The front suspension uses McPherson struts with
anti-dive and anti-lift functionality. The multi-link
independent rear suspension is attached to a steel
sub-frame. The front and rear both have firmer
shocks and stiffer anti-roll bars for added stability
and quicker steering response.
servotronic power steering
The R-
design
steering wheel with aluminium inlay
doesn’t just look smart. Behind it, the Servotronic
power steering uses sophisticated, speed-sensitive
technology to regulate the amount of power assist-
ance a driver needs. At highway speeds, steering is
firmer and more immediate. When parking or in slow
traffic, steering is light and effortless. The Volvo XC90
R-
design
has a specially tuned Servotronic system
that increases steering feed-back significantly in
50–60 km/h range.
High performance wheels
The distinctive Vulcanis 19
"
wheels with five diamond
cut spokes couldn’t be more serious about driving.
Behind them lie large, ventilated disc brakes, firmer
shocks for improved body control and stiffer anti-roll
bars to help keep the car flat through hard turns. If
this isn’t enough for you, Cratus 20
"
wheels are
available as an option.
sports tailpipes
Unique chrome-finish tailpipes ensure the XC90
R-
design
sticks out out from the crowd. Indeed, this
feature alone could be what other drivers notice first
as they follow your lead. The V8 model also features
a sports-tuned exhaust system.
A selection of R-
design
items are also available as part of
our Accessories range. Please contact your local dealer for
