Volvo at the London Motor Show

Though you might not think it to glance at the Volvo stand at the London Motor Show, it plays host to two world debuts and no less than four UK premieres. The latter comprise of the stylish new Volvo S80 executive saloon, the folding hardtop C70, a revised XC90 SUV range and the appearance of the C30 Design Concept, which is said to closely represent the new small Volvo due for revealing later this year.

World debuts are the refreshed Volvo S60 sports saloon range and a new version of the XC90, the SE Sport, which as the name suggests adds a more dynamic and sporting edge to this family favourite SUV. Roof rails are omitted and the car's looks are beefed up by the use of 19-inch alloys, chromed exhaust tips and other subtle tweaks. Engine options include a 310bhp V8.
