After news that Volvo wouldn’t be making a flagship sedan to compete with the likes of the BMW 7 Series, Mercedes S-Class and Audi A8, it has revealed its S80 Executive and Volvo V70 R models. We wonder about the future of the Volvo Universe Concept at this stage, but the brand has so far made the sensible decision to update the S80 luxury features first, before making a whole new model.

The main feature on both models is the new Volvo Sensus Infotainment system, with a five or seven-inch screen located in the centre of the top of the dash. There is a classic Volvo safety message behind this choice as the company claims that the position of the screen makes it easier for the driver to keep their eyes on the road.

The Volvo S80 Executive has new interior features with leather upholstery across the instrument panel, seats with massage function and even a rear bar fridge for passengers giving it that limo feel. The V70 R is a sporty model with new 18-inch wheels, LED lights integrated on the rear vision mirrors, aluminium trim on the inside and new leather seats. They’re not exactly whole new models but maybe Volvo is just testing the luxury waters a little.
