Volvo S80 – model year 2014

A number of exterior design cues reinforce the sophisticated contemporary presence of the Volvo S80, which was refreshed in 2013. The development work has focused on enhancing the elegant, sophisticated design and attention to detail. The new S80 is available with two four-cylinder engines from the all-new Drive-E engine family: the turbo diesel D4 and the petrol turbo T5. Fuel consumption is down to class-leading 3.9 l/100 km (102 g CO2 per km) in the all-new D4 version.

DESIGN

Wider and Lower

The front and rear bumpers create a ‘stretched’ effect to make it look wider and lower. New Rectangular Daytime Running Lights at the front give the S80 nose a contemporary look, while the rounded off classic Volvo lights at the rear visually pull the car down to the ground. The S80 can be fitted with expressive 19-inch wheels without loss of comfort.

Luxury interiors

It is the attention to detail that gives the S80 its enhanced sophistication. the Inscription is a bespoke palette of options that gives the customer the opportunity to truly design the car to his or her personal taste. The interior news also includes a new design on the front seats, jewellery knobs and a frameless rear-view mirror.
