Much like the S60 and XC60, the Volvo S80 and XC70 have been significantly upgraded for 2013.

Changes include new rectangular Daytime Running Lights at the front, enhanced IntelliSafe systems, an Adaptive Digital Display with three themes to choose from (Elegance, Eco, and Performance), a heated windshield, and the Sensus Connected Touch human-machine interface.

The Volvo S80 offers three chassis types: Comfort, Lowered Sport Chassis, and Four-C (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept). It can be equipped with the Executive interior package for the highest level of luxury, craftsmanship and technology, or with the Inscription package that provides a bespoke palette of options giving customers the opportunity to truly design the car according to their personal tastes.

Meanwhile, the Volvo XC70 comes with all-wheel drive, available Hill Descent Control, a wider front grille, and wheels up to 19'' in diameter. The protective black trim below the belt line now extends to surround the front fog lights giving them a purposeful feel.
