In February 2013, Wheels24 reported on Volvo’s design tweaks and improvements to six of its models, including revised styling, additional equipment and reduced CO2 emissions.

Check out the 2013 model updates:

The new Volvo S60, V60, XC60, V70, XC70 and S80 all feature new front and rear profiles plus enhanced equipment levels. They have integrated exhaust pipes, active driver display and the addition of new safety equipment such as the world-first “cyclist detection” technology.
