As Volvo's flagship luxury sedan, the S80 competes in a very crowded field. A 208-bhp 2.5L I-5 turbo and 5-speed automatic is the only powertrain, which makes the S80 somewhat underpowered vs. the competition. S80 models are well equipped from the factory; so many buyers won't be compelled to add extra options. Customers living in the Snowbelt may find the S80 AWD model a worthwhile upgrade for its better traction and handling. An optional semi-active suspension (Four-C Chassis) is driver adjustable for comfort or sport settings. Dynamic Stability and Traction Control (DSTC), Bi-Xenon headlights, HU-850 6-disc in-dash CD audio system, 18-inch alloy wheels, and DVD navigation system are optional.

What Changed:

T6 model has been dropped.
