A Closer Look at Volvo's S80...
S80
Specs 
Welcome to the future of Volvo, the completely new
Volvo S80 sedan. Available either a 3.2 liter
six cylinder front wheel drive sedan, six cylinder AWD
sedan, or the segment
leading 4.4 liter V-8 all wheel drive, the S80
is the cutting edge of comfort, style and
convenience. The new S80 continues the proud
Volvo tradition of cutting edge safety and
security. Volvo's designers feel they have
created an environment ideal for driver and passenger
alike. The expressive stance and the graceful
curve of the roofline accentuate the all new Volvo
S80's spirited elegance and head turning good looks,
whether you're pulling into a parking space of
enjoying the open road. A great deal of
attention has been paid to your comfort throughout the
entire cabin area. The Interior Air Quality
System monitors incoming air, while an active charcoal
filter prevents dust, exhaust particles, pollen and
unpleasant odors from entering the car. The
front seats are ventilated with a choice of three
settings to keep you comfortable on long trips,
The seat itself offers a nearly limitless range of
seating positions. An adjustable steering wheel
enables the driver to fine tune the ergonomics to his precise
requirements. Intuitive technology at every turn
helps to convey an uncanny feeling of safety.
The Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept (Four - C)
provides a choice of three distinct driving modes:
Comfort, Sport and Advanced. The Hydraulic Brake
Assist (HBA) system combines vacuum and hydraulics to
help stop the car in the shortest possible
distance. Emergency Brake Light (EBL) warns
following drivers when your Anti Lock Brake system is
engaged, or when your deceleration level exceeds .7 G
by becoming brighter. Dynamic Stability and
Traction Control (DSTC) enhances driving stability on
twisting roads, and slippery surfaces, and can even
help to counteract a potential skid. Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC) uses a forward scanning radar to
monitor the time interval between your car and the
vehicle in front to assist the driver to maintain
distance to the vehicle in front. All of these
aids combine to make your driving experience more
pleasurable. You're bound to find the
perfect engine for your lifestyle in our S80 range.
Thanks to our cutting-edge engine technology you can
enjoy rapid acceleration, high torque, excellent fuel
economy, low emissions, a selection of transmissions
and much more. Volvo offers power and control in
perfect harmony. The chassis and drivetrain
perform as one unit. Liveliness is assured by
immediate response through out the entire range of
R.P.M. Environmental care is also part
of Volvo's commitment to safety and wellbeing.
Volvos are built in some of the cleanest car assembly
facilities in the world. Upholsteries and
interior textiles comply with the Okeo-Tex Standard
100, an international benchmark ensuring that textiles
and leathers are tested for certain allergy inducing
or harmful substances. All interior metal
details are tested with regard to contact
allergies. Parts such as keys, door
handles and seat belt buckles comply with the
same standards for nickel leakage as high quality
jewelry.
