2008 Volvo S80 in Farmington Hills, MI - $5,998

For the 2014 model year, Volvo has made its S80 sedan even more appealing with a sophisticated new look, enhanced standard features, new options, advanced technologies plus improved performance potential for S80 T6 AWD models. The result is the ultimate expression of luxury for those who seek the finest flagship sedan that Volvo offers.

The 2014 Volvo S80 is offered in 3.2 and 3.2 T6 AWD models and base, Premier Plus and Platinum trim levels. Changes to the 2014 S80 begin on the outside, with a new front fascia incorporating a new grille design with larger Volvo Iron mark and grille pattern. Below the new grille, a redesigned lower front intake stretches the visual width of the car to create a bolder, wider horizontal stance. New LED daytime running lights are positioned at the outer edges of the intake. Following up at the rear is a redesigned bumper and new taillight design sporting LED graphics. Crystal White Pearl is a new S80 exterior color option.

To segue with its enhanced styling, smart new 17-inch Rex alloy wheels are now standard on S80 3.2 models. Those seeking to enhance the dynamic presence and handling of S80 T6 AWD models can opt for new 19-inch Bor diamond-cut alloy wheels. This option also includes a lowered sport chassis.

Power for the S80 sedan is generated by a 3.2L six-cylinder engine. The 3.2 T6 AWD is equipped with a turbo-charged 3.0L six-cylinder engine. Torque for both engines is communicated to the pavement through a six-speed Geartronic automatic transmission. The S80 T6 AWD is fitted with Volvo's All-Wheel Drive with Instant Traction for excellent grip on wet, slippery or completely dry roads. In addition, the S80 T6 AWD receives Advanced Quick Shift (AQS) is transmission optimization software that improves the speed of each gear change in Sport Mode by approximately 20-30 percent on second to sixth gears and as much as 50 percent faster in first to second gear change.

Inside the passenger cabin, all S80 models are treated to a new adaptive digital TFT display instrument cluster. This electronic Thin Film Transistor (TFT) design allows drivers to select three themes for additional functionality. The Elegance theme has a traditional appearance with a large, circular speedometer flanked by secondary displays. Selecting the Eco theme alters background illumination to green to create an environmentally inspired look. The Performance theme features a red background while a tachometer replaces the speedometer and vehicle speed is displayed digitally.

The Volvo Sensus system, standard on all S80s, lets drivers manage information from the audio unit, navigation system (if equipped) and other functions, displaying them onto a seven-inch high-definition color monitor. Steering-wheel-mounted scroll functionality allows drivers to adjust these functions without taking their hands off the steering wheel.

A new three-spoke leather steering wheel with décor inlays is now standard. All S80s also receive a new gearshift knob for the six-speed Geartronic automatic transmission with piano black background and illuminated symbols. A heated steering wheel and heated windshield are new features included with the optional Climate Package. Using extremely thin gauge filaments imbedded in the windshield, the glass can be de-iced within minutes. This feature also allows quick defogging of the windshield in humid conditions.

A rear park assist camera, quick-fold front passenger seat and grocery bag holder in the trunk are now included with Premier Plus. The Platinum trim receives enhanced interior accent lighting that utilizes more light points and more LEDs than previously available. Platinum continues to offer the Volvo Premium Sound System with Dolby® Pro-Logic® II Surround Sound, 12 premium speakers and a remarkable 650 watts. Also included is a Navigation System with Voice Control and map care.
