2013 Volvo V40 R-Design

Volvo has launched an R-Design styling pack for the V40 hatchback.

The exterior features 17” five-spoke alloy wheels (which can be upgraded to 18” items), a redesigned front bumper, a rear diffuser, twin exhaust pipes and silk-metal trim.

On the inside, the specification includes special leather / T-Tec upholstery, a sports steering wheel and pedals, aluminium inlays, a black headlining and a TFT LCD instrument display.

If that’s not luxurious enough, buyers can go for the R-Design Lux, which adds full leather upholstery, keyless start, cruise control, a rain sensor and xenon headlights.

To go with the looks, a Sport chassis set-up appears on the options list. It comprises firmer springs and dampers, thicker anti-roll bars and upgraded front MacPherson struts. As a result, the car sits lower to the ground, and it’s claimed that the handling is more responsive.

Available with all engines from the current V40 range, deliveries of the R-Design models are due to start next January. Volvo is expecting that they will account for around a quarter of V40 sales in the UK.

Dealers are accepting orders now, even though prices have yet to be announced.
