Volvo S80 - Technical Specification - Engines and Transmissions
ENGINES AND TRANSMISSIONS
The Volvo S80 offers a choice of five
powerful, highly efficient petrol and
diesel engines. Ample power is
available across a wide range of
engine speeds, resulting in effortless
response and excellent flexibility in
any driving situation. Transverse
mounting ensures good balance and
greater interior space.
Five cylinder engines
Three five cylinder engines are available
ranging from 140 bhp to 170 bhp.
In each, as the power distribution is
spread across a wide operating range,
driving is relaxed, with acceleration
brisk and rapid even at lower speeds.
The smooth, quiet running 2.5 litre
140 bhp turbo diesel uses direct
injection technology. In addition to
offering good acceleration (0-62mph
in 11 seconds) it also delivers highly
competitive fuel economy.
Six cylinder engines
Where even more power and
refinement are required, there are two
in-line six cylinder engines to consider.
A 2.9 litre 204 bhp engine guarantees
smooth capable cruising and swift,
safe overtaking.
T6
First Volvo gave you the T5, and then
T4. Now Volvo proudly presents T6,
the most powerful engine Volvo have
ever produced. Available only in SE
specification, this 2.8 litre, six cylinder
twin-turbo engine harnesses an
exhilarating 272 bhp that can take you
from 0-62 mph in a mere 7.2 seconds.
But as you'd expect from Volvo, power is
never provided without control; like all
S80 variants the T6 comes with Stability
and Traction Control (STC) as standard.
