Volvo S80 in India

The Volvo S80 line is outfitted with an impressive array of safety features including all-wheel brakes, a system for traction control, a collision warning system. The interior of the new Volvo S80 speaks of quality throughout, with wood or metal accents, a quiet cabin, and ample amenities. Plenty of leg room is available in front and back, with supportive seats that are ensconced in supple fabric. Instruments are easy to read and intelligently placed. Cabin acoustics are good with low engine or road noise. Visibility is good with a few small blind spots. Standard on the new Volvo S80 is a powerful new audio system with 10 speaker concert hall sound. Among the safety features Volvo is renowned for are adaptive cruise control which varies your speed depending on the proximity of traffic ahead. Volvo S80 introduces a feature that may give the driver advanced warning of a potential crash. Radar behind the grill of the S 80 senses when it is advancing too rapidly upon a vehicle ahead and gives the driver a heads-up audible signal and a visual alert. In conjunction with this, the brake system automatically reacts to shorten your braking response time.

There are three available engine configurations: a 4.4-liter V8 with AWD, a 3.2-liter six cylinder FWD, and a 2.4-liter turbocharged inline six cylinder (generating 205 PS.)  In the S80’s cabin, the dash includes gauges trimmed in metal with both analog and electronic displays. The center stack, in keeping with Volvo tradition, houses all the buttons to control the climate, audio, and safety features with clearly marked, easy to understand buttons. The soft leather and comfortable seats make the Volvo S80, like all Volvos, a leader in luxury. A new “Modern Wood” inlay is available and the knob on the gearshift is now covered in leather. Buyers who opt for the Climate Package can enjoy heated seats in the rear. The available Dynaudio Package adds premium, high-powered sound as well as headphone jacks and audio controls for backseat passengers.
