Volvo S80 II

Mid-Size Sedan

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Volvo S80 II is high-end large executive sedan in production from 2006 to 2009, whereupon it received the first of two facelifts in the model's entire decade-long run. It is available with inline-4, inline-5, inline-6, and V8 engines that displaced from 2.4L to 4.4L.

Owners will probably enjoy the powerful naturally-aspirated V8 the most. With the B8444S engine code, this 4.4-liter DOHC engine was developed by Yamaha and built in Japan. It was available in both the FWD and AWD models and was the largest transversely-mounted V8 in the automotive industry. This engine is powerful, sounds good, and is reasonably reliable, and it made the FWD model that much more fun.

Volvo has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it. The Volvo S80 II also comes with a high towing capacity.

Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the Volvo S80 II uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.

Reviewer score 53% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

For 2008 Volvo has introduced new petrol and diesel engines, both four cylinder, both two-litres. The entry-level 2.0 petrol SE is a bargain £23,495. The S80 can cruise reasonably well on the motorway, one- or two-up. At higher revs the engine feels lively and responsive. Where the S80 stumbles so miserably is in urban conditions.

Pros

Stylish interior
Comfortable to drive
Decent fuel economy

Cons

Lacklustre engine
No automatic gearbox
