Built for the Unwritten Road
Refined down to its last detail, the S80 is as much a pleasure to drive as it is to own.
Safety
Second sight as standard
Innovations like Collision Warning and Brake Support and Dynamic Stability Traction Control ensure that whatever the road holds, your Volvo S80 will keep you informed, protected and relaxed.
Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Warning
One system, but a package of benefits. By calculating the time gap between your Volvo S80 and the traffic ahead, the Adaptive Cruise Control allows you to keep a constant safety distance between your car and that traffic. Then, should the traffic in front of you suddenly stop or slow down, Collision Warning and Brake Support will work to both alert you by sounding a warning and flashing a red light, and prepare your car for full braking.
Whiplash Protection System
The front seats of the Volvo S80 are equipped with the Volvo whiplash protection system, WHIPS, to help prevent neck injuries. Activated if your car is driven into with sufficient force from behind, WHIPS cradles the spine and neck in a controlled manner.
Side Impact Protection
The Volvo's patented Side Impact Protection System distributes crash forces across a large part of the car's body, helping to reduce the impact on the occupants. And in the Volvo S80, the dual chamber SIPS bags work in tandem with this structure, protecting the hip and chest areas with different pressure. Inflatable curtains also help reduce the risk of injuries.
Design
New features. New lines. New thinking.
Volvo S80 sets a new standard in both interior comfort and innovative technology, but you'll find the true beauty of the S80 lies in its details.
Park Assist Camera
Add the Park Assist Camera to your new Volvo S80 and straining your neck becomes a thing of the past. A rear-facing camera monitors your position and displays the result on your dashboard information screen, keeping your car scratch-free and also warning you should there be any pedestrians behind you. It even shows your steering wheel position to make parking even simpler.
Exterior Design
In the Volvo S80, the design is Scandinavian elegance at its best - simple and harmonious, pure and powerful. All the shapes and materials represent a continuous development of our design language. The wide grille, the powerful shoulder lines and the typical V-shaped bonnet all ensure that your Volvo S80 will look dynamic from every angle.
Outstanding Cabin Comfort
Whether you're in the front or in the back, you'll find that the previous S80's already generous legroom has been extended even further. Thanks to our ventilated seats, you'll be kept cooler in the summer and warmer on those winter morning starts.
Performance
The power to perform
From its first V8 engine to its heightened handling and All-Wheel Drive, this Volvo S80 is the most youthful and powerful ever.
All Wheel Drive
With four wheel drive capability for traction when you need it, and two wheel drive the rest of the time to cut down to fuel consumption, Volvo's AWD really does give you the best of both worlds. Wheel spin is minimised to provide immediate acceleration and reassuring stability in slippery conditions, for a feeling of total control and driving pleasure.
Great Handling
Now offering three alternative chassis settings - Comfort, Sport and Advanced - the Volvo S80's Active Four-C Chassis (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept) not only helps to control your car at high speeds, it also lets you change its 'personality' to suit your mood.
The Power to Perform
Whether you choose the V8 or five or six cylinders - or perhaps our clean and high performance diesel engine - you'll still be surprised at just how distinct and sophisticated the performance of the Volvo S80 can be.
Environment
A haven from pollution, pollen and allergens.
Whether you're stuck in rush hour traffic or following a hay-laden tractor, the Volvo S80's interior is a great place to be.
Clean Zone Interior Package - CZIP
Approved by the Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association, the Volvo S80's CZIP builds on the Interior Air Quality System to offer asthma or hay fever sufferers a real breath of fresh air. When the car is unlocked via remote control, the passenger compartment is automatically ventilated for about a minute (should the temperature be above 10 degrees Celsius) to 'flush' impurities from the cabin.
Advanced Diesel Technology
Our advanced Coated Diesel Particulate Filter, CDPF, cleans the exhaust gases from over 95% of diesel particulates. Furthermore, the new fuel and engine management system reduces approximately 50% of the Nox emissions.
Interior Air Quality System
The S80's cabin filter prevents dust, exhaust particles and pollen from entering the car through its ventilation system. Add the optional Interior Air Quality System, and it will also check for certain unhealthy gases as carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide.
