THERE’S MORE TO LIFE THAN A VOLVO. THERE’S THE DEDICATION TO ACHIEVEMENT

AND THE LUXURY OF FULFILMENT. THERE’S THE INVESTMENT OF TRUST AND THE
RETURN OF RESPECT. THERE’S THE CELEBRATION OF FREEDOM AND THE COMFORT
OF SECURITY. THERE’S THE LOVE OF BEAUTY AND THE BEAUTY OF LOVE. THERE’S THE
PURSUIT OF DISTINCTION AND THERE’S THE CONFIDENCE OF DRIVING SOMETHING OTHER
THAN ANOTHER CLICHÉ. THAT’S WHY the VOLVO S80 IS MORE THAN A LUXURY CAR.

Imagine, just for a moment, a car as beautiful as it is gifted;

A car endowed with power, control and an understanding of what

goes on around it . Assume that it shares these gifts with its

driver. The tensions of a dangerous route become fewer. The joy

of an unwritten road becomes greater. And the prospect of

a perfect drive becomes a real probability.

The meticulous attention to detail

includes the road ahead.

This Volvo S80 delivers the royal treatment – 21st century st yle. Technologically speaking, scou ts

run ahead, check the road, a nd report back. At work are digital vide o and radar-based predictive

technologi es – Adaptive Cruis e Control (ACC) and Co llision Warning wi th Auto Brake (CWAB)

– which monit or the cars in fro nt and adjust powe r delivery and b raking intuitive ly. This onboard

intelligence is available to help you ne gotiate traffic in terms most favourable to you and you r

passengers – helping you to keep a safe distance. T he creature comforts and thoughtful ameni ties

throughout the cabin also seem t o anticipate and satisfy your every need – even the re mote

key fob, the Personal Car Communicat or (PCC), can help keep you in touch with your car’s status:

locked, u nlocked, oc cupied? Call it a sixth se nse, second sight or intui tion; no one predicted

intelligence would travel like this.

Volvo’s adva nced drivin g system help s make drivin g more comfor table. Now supplemente d with a digi tal video c amera to hel p examine

the road ahea d, it is possible for the Volvo S80 to discern station ary objects f rom other road user s and to register lane markings. If you are

ever distract ed or tired, the ca r’s ability to id entify your lane – a nd any stationar y vehicles in your la ne – can help you reac h your destination

without inci dent. But plea se note: Even these so phisticated sys tems – Lane Depa rture Warning (LD W), Driver Aler t Control (DAC) and th e

Blind Spot In formation System (B LIS) – have limitati ons. It is the dr iver’s responsib ility to remain a lert at all tim es.

Intelligence creates its own momentum.

Power an d control . How ofte n do you fi nd them in

perfec t accord? In all its petrol, f lexifuel a nd diesel

variant s, the Vol vo S80 of fers fluid performa nce.

The drivetrain and chas sis perform as one. Accelerat ion

is never delayed. And liveli ness is assured by immediate

response throughout the entire rev rang e. Volvo’s

premium source of diesel power, the 205hp D5,

to deliver en ormous capacit y with superior refinement.

(119 g/km). With advanced, hyper-efficient fue l

management systems, each available Volvo engine

It doesn’t just devour highway,
it knows which fork to use.

Experi ence sophis tication an d refinement where it mat ters most : on the road . Here, th e advanced chassis disp lays impecc able

manners. Def ined by high torsiona l-rigidity, wide stance and a long w heelbase, the Volvo S 80 chassis is a fai thful interpreter of road

and driver. Its multi-link rear suspension counteract s any tendency to understeer while the McPherson front suspension st ruts promote

superior com fort. Above an d beyond the manife station of comfor t and perform ance that’s st andard in the Volvo S 80, the lowered

Sport chassis delivers im pressive agility and balance. With it you’ ll experience quicker steering and a sure, planted fee ling at all

times, in al l corners. Devou r miles of highway wi th grace and then relish the twist s and turns that l ead you home in tim e for dinner.

Bon appétit .

Somewhere between points A and B we discover the finer points.

Volvo designers feel they’ve created an environment ideal for driver and

passenger alike. Floating layers, inspired by Scandinavian landscapes,

both converge and soothe. Controls are easy to operate and pleasing

to touch. Even the Road Traffic Information (RTI) navigation screen

appears and disappears into the dashboard with an elegance and

simplicity that complements it’s vast functionality. And much attention

has been paid to comfort throughout the cabin. For example, the seats

set the standard for ergonomic and aesthetic excellence – and with

the Dynamic front seats, deep contours and full side bolsters provide

even more support through tight corners. Now, run your hand over

Volvo’s real wood inlays and the genuine leather upholstery. Exquisite

to the touch and crafted with meticulous care, rest assured they’re

the genuine article and of world-class quality.

An air of refinement that actually includes refined air.
How refreshing.

What makes a l uxury car a luxur y car? Is it t he broad, beauti ful strokes of polis hed

wood, exquisite leather surroundings , and a cabin so quiet you can hear the sound of

satisfactio n? Or is it in the minu te details that sh ow, in every respe ct, this luxur y car

is at your ser vice. For exampl e, the Volvo S80 c an air itself out before you get in,

automatically close the vents t o protect you from outside pollution, and cl aim air so free

of allergens , it is recommend ed by the Swedish As thma and Allergy Association. In

any case, this is a car that enjoys th e highest standards – as will everyone who t ravels

aboard. An d when it comes to luxury – if you wa nt it all, the Volvo S 80 has it all.
