Does anyone know if the the 2010 V70 has chrome window surrounds as standard.
I've spotted a couple and they've got cloth seats so I assumed they aren't the premium version.
Cheers
Brian.

The R Design has black window trim, if that helps

The 2010 model year V70's in SE spec now have chrome side window trim as standard.

My 59 reg 2.0D SE has it. Another way to spot the '10 model is the larger front grille badge.

Hope that this helps!

Thanks for the confirmation, I wish mine had come with the chrome windows as it looks a bit more classy, but I don't like the larger badge.

I think we all better get used to it as all new Volvo cars will have it.

At the last OC meet in Ipswich this gone Sunday we all expressed our feeling about the HUGE badge the XC60 has.

I like the larger badge (its not that large when compared to the overall size of the vehicle) on my 2010 2.0D SE. The older badge was so small you could hardly see it!

Got to agree with you there. The new badge looks fantastic and is much more in keeping with the original badges anyway. I hope they aren't easy to steal though, they look like a very tempting target for the neanderthals out there

I'm a fan of the new badge too. Looks great on my 2010MY 2.0d RD V70. I think the proportions look fine overall and it gives a bit of a statement of "brand pride"

I've got a MY10 V70 SE ...

I like my BIG badge and my chrome window surrounds !!!

It's a fine looking motor ... lots of admiring comments from colleagues who are on the same scheme and looking to change.
