The sports chassis has been optimised with the help of features such as stiffer anti-roll bars and bushings, and a lower ground clearance (20mm at the front, 15mm at the rear) for more direct road contact to deliver more responsive and rewarding steering feedback.

Inside the car, leather-faced sports upholstery in off-black and cream is embossed with the R-DESIGN logo, while the front seats offer greater stability and side support. The package also adds an R-DESIGN leather steering wheel and unique aluminium interior trim, including sports pedals and centre stack. The new instrument dials with blue inserts and sports gearlever all add to the dynamic interior look and feel. 2009 Model Year updates Across the Volvo V70 range, two new exterior colours: Savile Grey Pearl and |

| Caper Green Pearl1, have been added at this model year, as well as new five spoke 17-inch Cassini alloy wheels.
Volvo's RSE (Rear Seat Entertainment system) has also been updated and now features larger eight-inch flat-screen monitors built into the front seat headrests. A Digital TV option is also available, which enables passengers to watch Freeview channels as well as providing a cardslot that can be used for subscription services. Other RSE features include an integrated DVD player, wireless headphones and remote control. An extra socket means it is possible to connect an additional DVD player or video game so the two screens can then be used independently. The RSE system is available for £1,350 RRP and the additional Digital TV option is £400 RRP. |
