Volvo has revealed a wide range of model upgrades which significantly improve CO2 and mpg.

The changes include a new, more powerful and efficient 2.4D and D5 engines, stop-start technology and range upgrades for the S80 plus front-drive versions of some of the XC models.

UK deliveries of the new models will start in July.
