The new 2015 Volvo XC90 R-Design have made its way to the British market where it now available from £49,785. This almost 50 grand SUV is still the most family-oriented car you can buy, but it’s been garnished with sporty features as well, presumably to stop dad from getting depressed!

Compared to a normal model, Volvo XC90 R-Design comes with a number of exclusive interior and exterior features, including – on the outside –  20-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, silver-effect door mirrors, gloss black mesh front grille and tinted rear windows. Inside the cabin the R-Design treatment adds leather/nubuck sports seats, a 12.3-inch active TFT driver’s information display and a perforated leather-trimmed steering wheel with gearshift paddles.

You also benefit from extra equipment with Volvo XC90 R-Design as it comes with powered front passenger seat with memory function (to match the driver’s seat), sports pedals, black headlining and upgraded interior lighting. There’s even an exclusive R-Design leather-clad remote key fob. What’s more, you get Drive Mode Settings and Adjustable Steering Force as standard, reinforcing the car’s sporty character.

You can order the R-Design XC90 in the UK with the D5 diesel, T6 petrol Drive-E, and T8 Twin Engine petrol-electric hybrid powertrains.
