Good news, schportiness fans. You can now buy Volvo"s quite excellent V60 with the R-Design pack, which adds stiffer suspension, a sporty bodykit and much equipment to Sweden"s 3 Series rival. But no power. Boo. Available with all existing drivetrains from the 150bhp D3 to the 250bhp T5 R-Design V60s start from 35,410. Alas, those engines haven"t been touched, but at least Volvo promises the revised suspension (12mm-lower ride height, thicker anti-roll bars and stiffer spring rates) makes for an "even more engaging driving experience" than standard. Sounds promising. Meanwhile, there are new alloys, bumpers and trim, and inside you get part-leather sports"-seats, a sports" steering wheel and so-on. Added equipment includes front and rear parking sensors, plus a full complement of deeply intelligent active safety systems. Upgrade to R-Design Pro for a little over 2k and you get a head-up display, adaptive headlights and keyless entry, among other things.
