The Volvo S80 is equipped with two types of engines: a 2.5-liter inline 5-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 147KW and a maximum torque of 300Nm, and a 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 210KW and a maximum torque of 400Nm. The Volvo S80 is positioned as a mid-to-large-sized car, with dimensions of 4991mm in length, 1861mm in width, and 1490mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2976mm. The car features a Volvo full simplified Chinese navigation system located above the center console, equipped with a retractable screen, which allows drivers to always know their current location and driving direction with the help of the GPS satellite positioning system.
The Volvo S80 series has utilized quite a few engine variants, and this car is one of my favorite luxury vehicles to discuss. I once drove a friend's 2009 model, which was equipped with a 3.0-liter inline-six engine. Later, it was upgraded to turbocharged T5 and T6 versions, pushing horsepower to over 300, making acceleration incredibly fierce. The first-generation S80 featured a 2.9-liter V6 and a rare 4.4-liter V8—a sporty version developed in collaboration with Yamaha. The second generation mostly used inline-six engines and added a fuel-efficient D5 diesel engine. Engine choices varied significantly over the years, but the overall tuning prioritized smoothness and safety. The chassis design complemented this well, providing rock-solid stability at high speeds—no wonder it was so popular among family users.
