Volvo S80 2005: Volvo's Flagship Luxury Sedan, Versatile Volvo
Auto Parts, Performance Parts, and Re
The S80 offers luxury, interior comfort and a stylish body. The
suspension is highly sophisticated. It offers a smooth ride and
feels extremely stable on the highway. Moreover, Volvo's safety
engineering leads the auto industry. The S80 contains standard
amenities such as a rear DVD entertainment system, heated front
seats, an interior air quality system, available metallic
exterior paint, infrared reflective windshield, and rain-sensing
wipers. Exclusively available on the T6 Premier is the optional
integrated rear refrigerator, which includes a shelf compartment
and four glasses. Standard features available are fog lights,
Four-C Chassis, and bi-Xenon headlights. A new Sport Package is
available for the 2.5T and 2.5T AWD, which includes sport seats,
a five-speed automatic transmission, and 17-inch alloy wheels.
Safety is what Volvo is known for, and the S80 reaches new
levels. With side-impact airbags, side curtain airbags,
anti-whiplash seats, as well as a sophisticated steel structure
that's computer designed around crash-resistance, the S80
achieves the coveted 5-star crash-test rating in front and side
collisions, as well as a 5-star rollover-resistance rating.
Contemporary Volvos are sleek, and the S80 led that Swedish
revolution applied to the rest of the Volvo line, even to the
best-selling XC90 sport-utility vehicle. The S80 has soft lines
with a gently sloping hood, steeply raked windscreen, slightly
bowed roofline and coupe-like rear window.
Flared wheel wells gently wrap the striking alloy wheels. Its
2.5-liter five-cylinder engine is a good workhorse and it is
very quick. Fitted with an intercooled turbocharger, the 2.5T
makes 208 horsepower but feels like more, with 236 pound-feet of
torque available at a low 1500 rpm. The speed-sensitive
rack-and-pinion steering gives the S80 a light touch and a
steadiness in the curves. In addition to all-wheel drive, the
2.5T AWD comes with Volvo's Dynamic Stability and Traction
Control, one of the most sophisticated electronic stability
control systems around.
The front-wheel-drive T6 comes with Volvo's new Four-C system
(Continuous Controlled Chassis Concept), which monitors speed,
acceleration and other dynamic forces and then adjusts the
electronically damped hydraulic shock absorbers to provide
either optimal comfort or sport control, depending on the
position the driver selects on a switch mounted on the center
console. The system can adjust the shocks up to 50 times in a
single second. With the S80 Radiator, Volvo made sure it is
environment friendly with a special coating that converts up to
75 percent of the ozone it encounters into oxygen. Partstrain
