Overview
2008 Volvo S80 Front angle medium view photo KBB Editors' Overview
Despite relatively modest overall production numbers, Volvo has mounted an ambitious program to raise its profile among the world's premium automakers. The S80 typifies the scope of that ongoing effort. Completely redesigned for 2007, the flagship of Volvo's sedan fleet embodies a Swedish approach to style, creature comforts and leading-edge safety features while offering multiple powertrain configurations and solid value pricing. For 2008 the lineup expands, with the front-drive S80 3.2 and the S80 V8 AWD joined by the new S80 T6 AWD, an all-wheel driver that slots between the original pair and packs a six-cylinder turbocharged engine. While the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Saab 9-5 are the S80's closest rivals, potential buyers also might consider upline mid-size sedans like the Acura TL, Cadillac CTS and Lexus GS series.
You'll Like This Car If... You May Not Like This Car If...
Buyers who believe that functional luxury and state-of-the-art safety systems outweigh the inherent status appeal of a traditional prestige nameplate can expect to find their transportation and aspirational needs well met by any member of the S80 lineup. Those seeking a sedan with overtly sporty handling characteristics would be better served by a BMW 5 Series or Infiniti G35. If maximum trunk space is a priority, you'd be happier with an Audi A6 or Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
What's Significant about this Car?
The new, turbocharged, all-wheel-drive T6 model adds a more-affordable performance-oriented alternative to the S80 lineup. All versions get modest interior and exterior trim enhancements, the most notable being the addition of Volvo's Personal Car Communicator security package to the V8 AWD as standard equipment.
