“These two new products, added to the all-new XC90 unveiled in LA, are a further statement of our commitment to turn around our performance in the US. Overall, we will launch seven new products in the US by 2018,” said Håkan Samuelsson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Volvo Cars.
The introduction of these new models forms the latest
chapter in Volvo’s ongoing transformation, which involves the creation
of a global industrial footprint, the complete renewal of Volvo’s
product range over the next five years, the introduction of a new
modular chassis technology, world-first safety technologies, a new
design language, a new powertrain architecture and a range of
class-leading connectivity services.
The pace and depth of this transformation was underlined
earlier this month after the company reported record full-year sales for
2014. Sales increased 8.9 per cent in 2014 to a new record of 465,866
cars sold. December 2014 also marked the 18th month of consecutive sales
increases. Volvo Cars forecasts sales will continue to expand in all
global markets in 2015.

The S60 Inscription
The new Volvo S60 Inscription will offer class-leading rear space, something consistently requested by US customers.
It will be made at Volvo’s plant in Chengdu, China, and was on show for the first time at this year’s North American International
Auto Show in Detroit.
Chengdu is Volvo’s main production facility in China and
has been built in accordance with globally monitored quality standards
such as the Volvo Cars Manufacturing System, which ensures Volvo Cars’
global quality engineering, quality audit and quality assurance
standards.
Levels of installed technology and equipment are the same
as the company’s European facilities, as are the working environment,
safety and environmental performance standards. Exports to the US will
start in the second quarter of this year.
All-new XC90 R-Design
The XC90 is a visually striking, premium quality seven seat
SUV with world leading safety features, new powertrain technologies, an
unrivalled combination of power and fuel efficiency and a superlative
interior finish.
The new XC90 marks the beginning of a new chapter in
Volvo’s history, capturing its future design direction, incorporating
its own range of new technologies and utilising its new Scalable Product
Architecture (SPA) technology. Customers obviously like what they see.
Launched in August last year and just ahead of the start of production,
Volvo has already received orders for over 6,000 new XC90s.
The R-Design version of the all-new XC90 is aimed at buyers
looking for a head-turner that radiates a truly sporty and dynamic
look.
“R-Design is created for people with a passion for things that add spice to life,” said Alain Visser, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Sales and Customer Service of Volvo Cars. “It appeals to customers that love active driving and a personal, expressive design.”
The visual promise of a dynamic ride is confirmed by the
driver-centric interior featuring R-Design sports seats in Nubuck
textile and perforated leather. A choice of Drive-E powertrains offering
up to 400 hp and the completely new XC90 chassis ensure an agile
driving experience.
The S60 Inscription, S60 Cross Country and XC90 R-Design will be available for delivery from the second quarter.
