Singapore: 2010 Volvo S80 available for booking

The New Volvo S80 for model year 2010 has an even more tough and exclusive design than before, while providing top-class fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, performance, driving characteristics and comfort at the same time.

The Volvo S80 is the second generation of Volvo's large prestige sedan, launched at the Geneva motor show in the spring of 2006.

A new generation of driving and support systems together with a further enhanced body structure and advanced interior safety systems all interact to contribute to the high level of safety, both preventive and protective.

On the outside, the New Volvo S80 gives both a lower and longer, as well as wider, stance. The grille's larger iron mark and the new brightwork (on the air intakes, the doors' lower parts and below the tail lamps) enhance the car's distinctive impression and make the front look "tougher".

The New Volvo S80 includes a number of new design features on the inside, in addition to the exterior design updates. The interior expresses exclusivity and comfort, characterised by the soft leather with matching stitching. The door panels follow this theme as well.

The centre stack has a silk metal frame, contributing to the exclusive impression. In addition, the New S80 has aluminium dials and new steering wheel alternatives.

The five-cylinder 2.5T light pressure turbo has been further developed in Volvo’s highly appreciated line of turbo engines. This unit now generates 231hp and 340Nm, accelerating from 0-100km/h in 7.5 seconds, a significant improvement from the 200hp and 8-second acceleration offered in the original S80. The high-quality special steel used in the turbo manifold also makes it the cleanest turbo engine in the world.

Like the rest of the Volvo range, the Volvo S80 has a transverse driveline and front-wheel drive, or alternatively All-Wheel Drive (AWD). The transverse engine installation permits effective space utilisation for deformation in the engine compartment and also makes it possible to create a more spacious passenger compartment.
