Transmissions
For most engines, a choice of five speed
manual or four speed automatic
transmissions is available. For the T6
engine, the Geartronic transmission
offers two gearboxes in one: an
intelligent automatic that 'learns' your
driving style, and manual for active
driving pleasure. The T6 SE
is only available with Geartronic.
The 272 bhp engine in the
Volvo S80 T6 SE has two
small turbochargers for
swift response.
The four-speed Geartronic
automatic transmission can also
be shifted manually, if you want
a more active driving style.
You can shift up by pushing
the lever away from you and
down by pulling it towards you
(Volvo S80 T6 SE only).
Variable camshaft timing on
the inlet or exhaust side gives
the engines consistent pulling
power at all speeds - as well as
cleaner emissions.
The three-way catalytic converter
with twin electrically-heated
lambda sensors reduces the
levels of carbon monoxide,
nitrogen oxides and
hydrocarbons in the exhaust
emissions by an average of 95%.
The Volvo S80 is the first car
i n modern times to have a
transverse in-line
six-cylinder engine.
