The front is more distinctive with a new grille featuring the larger iron mark badge, which is part of the more extrovert DNA as seen in recent Volvo models, including the new XC60 crossover. There is also new chrome detailing on the air intakes, lower part of the doors and under the tail lamps.
The interior of the car incorporates a super-slim floating centre stack upgraded with a Silk Metal frame
The twin-turbo five-cylinder 2.4-litre D5 turbodiesel offers 205hp and 420Nm of torque over a very wide range of engine revs. The upgraded Euro 4-compliant 2.4-litre diesel engine will also be available with 175hp and 420Nm of torque.
The Volvo S80 DRIVe model will come equipped with the same powertrain – 1.6-litre diesel engine and manual gearbox – as the smaller C30, S40 and V50 but with specially tailored engine software and different ratios in third, fourth and fifth gears. CO2 emissions to 129g/km are claimed.
