2009 VOLVO S80 2.5FT E85 6AT (231 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Not as flashy-looking as the rivals on the market, the S80 was more safety-oriented with cutting-edge technologies included.

While it was designed to make their passengers feel safe, the S80 was still a luxurious and agile vehicle, a great choice for people looking for peace of mind in style.

Since we’ve already mentioned safety so many times, the most notable features included dual-chamber side airbags, a blind-spot warning system, audible alerts for driving too close to the car in the front and even a security system with a heartbeat sensor incorporated (PCC system).

3 trim levels were available with the S80, the 3.2, the T6 and the V8.

The base 3.2 included standard 17-inch alloys, active bi-xenon headlights, rain-sensing wipers, a sunroof, leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth connectivity and wood interior trim. As the name indicates, the 3.2 trim level offered a 3.2-liter 6-cylinder engine that developed 235 hp. Pretty well equipped for a base trim level, right?

The upper trim level T6 came with a different engine, a 3.0-liter 6-cylinder with 281 hp. The standard features included an electronic parking brake and refreshed instrumentation.

Moving to the top-of-the-range V8, pretty self explanatory, featured a Yamaha-designed 4.4-liter V8 engine that cranked out 311 hp. Other features associated with the trim level included 18-inch alloys, headlights washers, park assist, massaging ventilated and heated front seats, an air quality system and the PCC.

3 packages were available for the above mentioned trim levels: Sport Package – tweaked suspension, bigger wheels and better handling, Convenience Package – comfort oriented – and Executive package – added luxury.
