Product Overview

Volvo S80 is a premium large sedan in production from 1998 to 2003, whereupon it received a facelift. It is available with inline-6 and inline-5 engines from 2.0L to 2.9L, reflecting the vehicle's flagship status.
What was unique about this generation of S80 is the use of transversely-mounted I6 engines, including a 2.8-litre bi-turbocharged unit that produces a respectable 272hp. It is the engine that owners will likely appreciate the most: Like all inline-6 petrol engines, it is perfectly balanced and, thanks to the turbos, manages a decent 380Nm of torque.
Another interesting powertrain option was the inline-5 common rail diesel.
