This change may be down to a lot of people buying the Volvo sport models rather than the luxury models, which may have influenced Volvo towards a firmer more compact seat design across the range.

I see so many R Designs on the Volvo Selekt website and I wonder if it's as a result of buyers being intrigued by the notion of a "Sports" model but then disappointed by the relatively uncomfortable seats, not helped by the stiffer suspension and lower profile tyres.
