2007 Volvo S80 Review
Volvo's flagship sedan is redesigned for 2007 and becomes the automaker's first car available with a V8 engine. The '07 S80's styling is evolved from the 1999-2006 design, and dimensions change little inside and out. Two versions are offered. The 3.2 model has front-wheel drive and a 235-hp 6-cyl engine. The S80 V8 has all-wheel drive and the same 311-hp V8 used in Volvo's XC90 SUV. A 6-speed automatic is the sole '07 transmission. ABS and traction/antiskid control are standard. So are front side airbags and curtain side airbags. Adaptive cruise control is a new S80 option. Another new option is Volvo's Blind Spot Information System or BLIS. It detects and warns of nearby objects that may go unseen by the driver. An optional Sport Package includes driver-adjustable power-steering settings and Volvo's Four-C adaptive suspension with Comfort, Sport, and Advanced settings. Other options include a navigation system and DVD entertainment.
