Volvo dealers are accepting bookings for the XC60 R-Design at Rs 51 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi. This comes right on the heels of our exclusive S60 R-Design launch news a few weeks ago. The XC60- R-Design SUV like the sedan receives updates on similar lines. 

The biggest update is the change of heart - the new 2.0-litre 4-cylinder Drive-E diesel engine producing 181PS of power and 400Nm of torque. Complimenting the new engine is a quicker shifting 8-speed automatic unit that replaces the six-speed gearbox. The XC60 R-Design also comes with paddle shifters. With the engine and gearbox updated, the XC60 R-Design is a more potent SUV at this price point.

In addition to the engine and transmission update, the recently updated XC60 gets the R-Design body kit which is sportier than the stock car and comes with an exclusive R-Design red colour. The exterior changes include a new front bumper with a honeycomb air dam and a R-Design badge in the front grille. The sportier bumper gets new inserts around the LED daytime running lights and the R-Design XC60 also gets new 18 inch 5-spoke alloy wheels. The rear gets a larger diffuser and two split circular chrome tipped exhausts.

R-Design interior trim and more kit are part of the new interiors package. A rear view camera, satellite navigation system and a new entertainment system find their way to the R-Design XC60. The XC60 R-Design takes on the Q5, X3 and the Freelander 2 in the SUV segment. The XC60 R-Design though, like all other Volvos sold in India, is sold as a CBU unlike the assembled SUVs from Audi, BMW and Land Rover.
