2010 Volvo S80: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

The 2010 Volvo S80 gets revised option packages and is available with a slightly retuned base engine. This is Volvo's flagship sedan. It comes in three trim levels: The front-wheel-drive 3.2; the all-wheel-drive T6; and the AWD V8. The 3.2 has a 235-hp 3.2-liter 6-cylinder engine. New this year is a Partial Zero Emissions (PZEV) version of the 6-cylinder engine that produces 225 hp. It's designed to produce fewer emissions while getting better fuel economy than the 235-hp version. T6 has a turbocharged 281-hp 3.0-liter 6-cylinder. The V8 has a 311-hp 4.4-liter engine. All S80s have a 6-speed automatic transmission. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. Available is Volvo's Blind Spot Information System. BLIS detects and warns of nearby objects that may go unseen by the driver. Other options include a navigation system and DVD entertainment. An Executive Package is optional on the 3.2 and T6, and most of its features are standard on the V8. The Executive Package features luxury touches such as a massage function in the front seats and upgraded interior trim. A refrigerator in the rear-seat area is optional with the Executive Package. The new Dynamic Package includes features aimed at performance driving. The Climate Package contains heated front and rear seats, a windshield-washer-fluid heater, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.
