Volvo S80 (98-05) - Review Review by Parkers on 01 January 1998 Volvo's executive class saloon is a worthy rival to the German class leaders. With excellent equipment and a beautifully designed cabin, the S80 is incredibly sophisticated, safe, subtle and sleek. To emphasise its market position, there's not even an estate version. Like Saab, Volvo has maintained its individuality and solid Swedish sensibilities, but not at the expense of style. 4 out of 5 Other Volvo reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3.5 out of 5 Performance Petrol engines range from 140bhp which is a bit sluggish up to 272bhp which is rapid. Then there are smooth diesel units and the option of LPG and CNG bi-fuel units.

Not a sportscar but then no one would buy it as such. View full gallery Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
