New Volvo S80

The New Volvo S80 2012 model is the new flagship of the range, and feels well appointed to match its status. It is physically a large car, and that is reflected in the generous head and legroom both the front and rear passengers are gifted. Seats are supportive and very comfortable, and the driving position is ideal for long journeys. The controls are neat with large robust buttons, and as expected, laid out ergonomically. Volvo Cars have an enviable reputation when it comes to reliability, and whilst this new S80 hasn't been around long enough for any particular faults to be recorded, it is unlikely that many will surface, as the car feels solidly constructed, and the interior materials and surfaces are all of high grade. Proven mechanicals and engines that feature in the rest of the range are a good sign, and Volvo's record on safety is second to none.

In what seems to be a trend, this new Volvo S80 has a crisper setup to its suspension than the previous model, meaning the ride is a little firmer, but resists body roll well, and yet still manages to give a good account of itself on motorways. the highest trim gets the new ‘Active Four-C’ chassis which will automatically adjust the dampers to the type of road you are on, and works well.

In a competitive class, this new Volvo S80 for sale provides an admirable alternative to the German offerings, with all of the charm, build quality and practicality, and none of the arrogance. The car is beautifully engineered, well equipped, and at a price that will undercut its main rivals by some margin, overall a very complete car.

Specification

The 2.0 Petrol engine is the entry into the S80 range, taken from the Ford parent company and is none the worse for it - smooth and happy to be worked hard, although it can struggle a little with what is quite a large car. It has a 0-60 of 11.6 seconds and a top speed of 127 miles an hour from it 145 bhp. Fuel economy is 34 mpg, which isn't bad, but a little way behind the 2.0 diesel.

The 2.0 Diesel is easily the most fuel efficient model, giving an average of 49.6 mpg. Despite it being down on power compared to the petrol version, it's slightly quicker from 0-60 at 11 seconds, due to the high torque figure of 320 Nm, meaning that in gear acceleration figures a good, and power can be accessed more easily in the mid range without the need to rev it as much. Top speed is a respectable 124 mph, and the 2.0 diesel is the best seller in the S80 range overall.

The D5 is the popular 2.4 litre 5 cylinder diesel motor seen across the whole of the range, the D5 gives that useful extra bit of go from that extra power knocking a second of the 0-60 time down to 8.5 secs, and taking top speed to 143 mph. both have similar fuel consumption figures of 44.1 mpg, very respectable in a car of this size.

The S80 V8 is the new top of the range 4.4 litre V8 petrol engine. it is a creamy smooth languid unit that enjoys wafting the car along, but it's mainly focused towards the American market, and will be a rare sight on UK roads.
