2008 Volvo S80

2008 Volvo S80 Model Overview

Vehicle Summary: 2008 Volvo S80

The stately Volvo S80, the company's flagship sedan, remains a luxurious ride and gives buyers a choice of three engines: a 3.2-liter inline six-cylinder, a turbocharged 3.0-liter six, and a 4.4-liter V8. The only transmission offered is a six-speed automatic that allows manual gear selection. Front-wheel drive is standard on the base six-cylinder version, while a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system is included with the T6 and V8 models. Typical for Volvo, a long list of safety features is standard. An optional adjustable ride-control system allows the driver to switch between settings like "Comfort" and "Sport."
