Fresh from its recent global debut, the new Volvo XC90 has been showcased with the R-Design kit. To those who need a refresher course, R-Design is Volvo’s line of aesthetic upgrades – similar in concept to BMW’s M Sport line, Audi’s S Line and Mercedes-Benz’s AMG trimlines.
Changes are only purely cosmetic, with no upgrades to the drivetrain whatsoever. At the front, there is a redesigned, deeper front bumper along with a different grille design. The roof rails, side mirrors and window surrounds are now trimmed in a matte-like silver treatment.
The rear sports a mildly restyled rear bumper with integrated, rectangular twin exhaust pipes at each end. Wheel sizes are now 20-inch in diameter with two distinct five-spoke designs available to choose from.
Inside, the car is now fitted with Contour sport seats while a smattering of R-Design badges serves as a constant reminder that this is no ordinary XC90. A perforated leather steering wheel and gearknob complete the interior upgrades.
While the R-Design treatment itself doesn’t have quite a presence amongst local buyers, the XC90 itself has been well-received around the world and is slated to arrive on our shores in the near future.

I wonder if the old people running the show at Volvo Cars Malaysia will bring in this car. They are more interested in bringing in boring and outdated cars together with even more boring and outdated colors.
Volvo Cars Malaysia needs to change all the old people at their management and bring in some fresh and exciting young people on board.
T6 engine…..thats not cosmetic…..
