The VOLVO S80 (1998-06) 4DR SALOON 2.4 D5 EXECUTIVE AUTO is a large, comfortable premium saloon rather than a hatchback or SUV. It was aimed at buyers wanting refinement, space and a reassuringly solid feel, competing with executive cars such as the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The D5 diesel and automatic gearbox suit relaxed long-distance driving. It suits commuters, couples or families seeking a roomy cabin and calm ride, especially for regular motorway miles. Executive trim adds an upmarket feel, while understated styling and comfort make it an alternative to familiar German rivals. The spacious rear seating is useful on family journeys.
