Volvo has expanded its range with the introduction of the S80 Executive and sporty-looking V70 R-Design.
The Volvo S80 Executive comes with extra touches of luxury and more standard equipment. The top of the instrument panel is trimmed in leather with a choice of 'espresso brown' or 'off black' finishes. There is more leather covering the door panels and seats, while the latter also feature ventilation and massage functions. Thicker carpet covers the floor and there is the option to install a fridge in the rear seat along with a set of Swedish crystal glasses.
The V70 R-Design can be identified by diamond cut 18-inch 'Ixion' alloy wheels and 'silk metal' door mirrors featuring LED indicators. Interior upgrades include off-black leather upholstery and black floor mats with contrast stitching. The R-Design package is available with all engines including the 1.6-litre DRIVe diesel.
Both new models feature the new Volvo Sensus infotainment system. This uses a colour screen mounted high up the centre console.
The Volvo S80 Executive is available from £34,060 and V70 R-Design prices start at £29,805.
