Volvo has extended the R-Design styling pack to include its XC90 and V70 ranges, a move it says will "increase their dynamic appeal for Australian customers".

The  R-Design styling pack has been available on the C30, S40 and V50 T5 models for some time now. The latest additions to the R-Design rank include the XC90 3.2, D5 and V8 models as well as the V70 T6.

The R-Design option, "enhances external and interior visual impact with a range of specially designed elements to further enrich and enliven the Volvo product offering". You and I would refer to it as "tasteful bling".

"The possibility of tailoring one's car to suit personal tastes is becoming increasingly important to car buyers today. R-Design has been developed for buyers who want a sporty look for their cars," Volvo Cars' spokesman Gerry Keaney said.

In the case of the Volvo V70 T6, going the R-Design route will see your svelte wagon (estate) fitted with unique 18-inch Cratus alloy wheels and lowered sports-tuned suspension comprising higher-rated anti-roll bars and bushings. The V70 T6 R-Design sits 20mm lower at the front, and 15mm lower at the rear than the standard V70 T6.

Step inside and the XC90 V8 R-Design features sports seats with additional lateral bolstering, two different grades of leather with contrasting piping, silk matt-finish that replaces chrome trim, unique brushed stainless steel sill mouldings, sport steering wheel, a perforated leather shift knob, chronograph-style instruments and sports carpets with contrasting piping.

"R-Design is entirely in line with the accelerated focus on making our cars more extrovert and emotional. It gives the buyers the opportunity to spice up the already distinct personality of these car models," Design Director, Steve Mattin, said.

The R-Design option is $3,700 for the C30, S40 and V50 models, $4,175 on the V70 and $6,000 on the XC90 range. The R-Design option incorporates the following elements:
