The Volvo S80 is not the newest car of its segment, but the Swedish carmaker has given it a makeover last year in order to keep it relevant until a replacement model arrives.
Carbuyer’s Mat Watson took an S80 for a test drive and was not disappointed. The car is comfortable, silent and packed with safety features. The 2.0-liter D4 diesel that equipped the car in the video was deemed refined and punchy, as well as very economical, making it the ideal engine for the S80 according to the reviewer.
There’s always a “but,” though, and in this case it’s the S80’s lack of driving excitement. Ergonomics are not great either, and boot volume is not worthy of a Volvo.
