The Volvo
S80 and V70 now come in refined special versions that are tailor made for
buyers who want a car with that extra exclusive look and individual touch.
Volvo S80 Executive features
unique details and a very rich content that reinforce its position as Volvo Car
Corporation's top-of-the-line saloon. Volvo V70 R-Design gives the elegant estate car a sportier design character.
|  | "Both cars are designed
around the growing number of people who appreciate the possibility of tailoring
their cars to suit individual tastes. The Executive version of the S80 radiates
exclusive luxury while our R-Design models are developed for buyers who want an
extra sporty look," says Lex Kerssemakers, Senior Vice President Product
Strategy and Vehicle Line Management at Volvo Car Corporation.
The Volvo S80 is the most exclusive Volvo saloon model - and the Executive
version features details that emphasise the sober Scandinavian design and the
sophisticated comfort of the spacious saloon.
|  | The Executive badge gives a discreet hint that this is an S80 beyond the norm.
Inside, the upgraded S80 Executive is the first Volvo model with an instrument
panel top in leather, available in espresso brown or off black. Among the
interior details that give the S80 Executive a more exclusive character are
ventilated soft leather seats with massage function, leather door panels, an
integrated analogue clock on the instrument panel and the aluminium centre
consol storage.
| Specially designed, extra thick carpets reinforce the sober impression. The
opportunity to install a fridge in the rear seat, combined with a set of
Swedish crystal glasses, also contributes to the enhanced feeling of luxury and
comfort.
The V70 R-Design comes with a number of specially developed exterior and
interior design details.
V70 R-Design is available together with all drivelines, which also makes it
possible to choose the newly launched 1.6-litre DRIVe diesel with CO
2
emissions at 119g/km. |
| | Škoda has launched an all-new trim level called SE Plus across its entire
multi-award winning model range.
Offering even greater value for money and choice for customers, it sits
between SE and range-topping Elegance models, and offers customers savings of
up to £1,310. |  | It's offered on a wide range of Škoda's fuel-efficient petrol and diesel
engines, including two new engines available exclusively on SE Plus trim.
The new 1.8 TSI 152PS engine will be available on Yeti, Octavia and Superb
and the new 2.0 TDI CR 110PS engine will be available on Octavia.
| | |  | The all-new Ford Focus will be transformed into a rolling WiFi hot spot when
Ford SYNC with MyFord Touch technology makes its UK debut next year.
Owners will be the first in the UK to benefit from SYNC's
class-leading connectivity, which will be rolled out to several other Ford
vehicles following its debut on the new global C-segment model. | By using an owners' existing USB modem or Smartphone, the SYNC-equipped
Focus will be able to deliver a secure wireless connection that can be
broadcast throughout the vehicle. Passengers with any WiFi-enabled device can
then easily connect and access the internet. All this allows for simple, easy
to use WiFi connectivity on the move for up to five devices.
Using SYNC's far reaching connectivity potential, Ford will offer
individuals and families a level of in-car internet access that was until
recently only available to the owners of considerably more expensive vehicles. |
