2015 Volvo XC90 R-Design first view

Ahead of dealers’ XC90 order books opening in October, Volvo has released some images of the sporty R-Design version.

It projects a more purposeful image for the large SUV thanks to a set of 20” five-spoke alloy wheels, matt silver door mirror caps, restyled bumpers and unique metal window surrounds.
