Volvo C30 just had a facelift! The new Volvo C30 R-Design adapts a sporty look from their existing car line-ups. The new design was revealed during the Frankfurt Motor Show. Mechanical upgrades such as improved steering with much sharper ratios, and also an more developed suspension.

Stefan Sallqvist, manager Vehicle Dynamics at Volvo Cars, said that a customer who test-drives the new C30 R-Design can immediately feel the difference. “Even before the car has covered fifty meters, the driver will be aware of the crisp steering and the distinct chassis response,” Sallqvist added.

Outer improvements of the R-Design includes a brand new, more aggressive bodykit for the C30, making the premium hot hatch a very attractive one. The bodykit, together with the new chrome plated tailpipes, 17-inch sport rims and the metal finish for the grille and mirror housings complete the sportier look of the new C30.
