Volvo S80
AB Volvo or Aktiebolaget Volvo is a world-leading Swedish manufacturer of commercial vehicles, trucks, buses and construction equipment, drive systems for marine and industrial applications, aerospace components and financial services. AB Volvo was founded August 10, 1926 in the city of Gothenburg, as a spin-off from roller ball bearing maker SKF, Svenska Kullagerfabriken AB. Volvo Cars, the automobile manufacturer, has been owned by the Ford Motor Company since 1999.
Volvo S80 is an executive car produced by the Swedish automaker Volvo and introduced in 1999 as a replacement for the aging Volvo 960 and S90 sedan. Unlike almost all other Volvo models, it does not have a wagon version. However, the slightly smaller V70 wagon was spun off its platform. The S80 is presently Volvo's flagship model.
Volvo S80 is powered by a 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder with 208 horse power and 236 pound-feet of torque. Both front wheel drive and all wheel drive configurations are available. A five-speed automatic transmission is standard. Volvo S80 comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, traction control, leather upholstery, a moonroof, burled walnut trim, dual-zone automatic climate control, a dual power-adjustable front seats with driver-seat memory, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel with audio controls, and an eight-speaker CD stereo.
The comfort is a Volvo hallmark and the S80 boasts soft, supportive seats and plenty of room to stretch out. The rear seat is remarkably roomy and there are heating and air conditioning vents in the B-pillars to keep the rear passengers at the perfect temperature. In Volvo S80, four-wheel antilock brakes with electronic brake force distribution and emergency braking assist are standard and stability control is optional. Every S80 comes with side airbags for front passengers, head curtain airbags for front and rear passengers, and whiplash-reducing head restraints. The Volvo S80 received perfect marks in all government crash tests, as well as a good score, the highest possible, in IIHS, Insurance Institute for Highway Safety frontal-offset testing.
Volvo S80 is a car where you will find comfort, space and an incomparable style at the same time providing high efficiency and durable performance.
