VOLVO'S new, next-generation SUV, the XC90, and the high performance, hi-tech S60 R and V70 R AWD models will be at the British International Motor Show from October 24 to November 3.

The XC90 brings Volvo quality and design into the large Sports Utility Vehicle market for the first time with an innovative interior offering the flexibility of up to seven forward facing seats.

The return of Volvo's R models will also cause a stir at the show. With 300bhp and 400Nm of torque, the S60 R and V70 R offer abundant performance on demand, subtle sporting styling and bristle with the latest technology, including Haldex AWD and Volvo's unique Four-C active chassis system with three choices of suspension settings available at the push of a button: sport, advanced sport and comfort.

Also at the show are the 2003 S40 and V40 models featuring their latest interior and exterior enhancements and the XC70 which offers the all-road ability and ground clearance of an SUV in an estate car and is now available with Volvo's acclaimed D5 diesel engine and Haldex AWD. The V70, chosen best estate by Auto Express and What Car? magazines, will also be on the Volvo stand along with the S60 sports saloon, the C70 convertible, and an executive S80 saloon with Volvo's Bi-Fuel engine that operates on gas as well as petrol.
