Vehicles produced by Volvo are known for being safe, high-quality models that last for years and provide excellent driving experiences. As technology changes, the included entertainment and driver-assist components make these vehicles even better! Below, we'll discuss what comprises the performance models in the Volvo lineup sold at Byers Volvo Cars near Lancaster, OH.

What Performance Trims Does the Volvo Lineup Offer?

For newer Volvo model years, the brand has simplified trim levels offered for each vehicle, reducing the range to three: the base trim, Momentum; the R-Design sporty trim; and the lavish Inscription trim. Even though these trims reliably offer great performances, comfortable interiors, and safety features, the R-Design trim offers a more remarkable driving aptitude.

Whether you want a Volvo sedan, SUV, or wagon, you can find the R-Design trim across the vehicle lineup. That means you don't have to settle for a different model while enjoying all the perks of the performance-focused trim while driving around Newark, OH.

Volvo R-Design Trim Performance

The R-Design trim name represents powerful driving performances and athletic designs. The standard equipped powertrain is a mild-hybrid engine that creates 247 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque and offers a driving range of over 560 miles on highways.

The "R" in the sport badging stands for Refined, alluding to even better fuel efficiency ratings. For upgraded power, customers can get the Volvo S60 Recharge sedan, XC6 Recharged SUV, and V60 Recharged wagon with the new 415-horsepower Polestar Engineered engine that kicks out 494 pound-feet of torque and has a maximum 41 mpg in all-electric mode. The Polestar Recharge powertrain upgrades six things:

  • Recalibrated throttle response
  • Faster off-throttle response and control
  • Increased gearshift speed
  • Optimized gearshift precision and gear hold
  • Improved engine performance in the mid-range powerband
  • Improved traction with enhanced all-wheel-drive torque distribution
