Used 2004 Volvo S80
Buying Guide for the Volvo S80:
When it comes to automobiles, change is a good thing. It
means manufacturers are continually seeking new ways to make
their models stronger, safer and more efficient. When a vehicle
enters the new year with over 700 changes, you know its engineers
have hard at work.
That’s exactly what Volvo has done with its S80 luxury sedan.
There’s more standard equipment, an all-wheel drive model
and a freshened styling for each and every trim.
If you like luxury in an extremely safe sedan, the S80 from
Volvo has you covered.
Under the Hood
There are plenty of models to get to with the 2004 S80. The
base 2.9 trim utilizes a 2.9-liter inline 6-cylinder engine
that produces 194 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 207 lb-ft of
torque at 4200 rpm. 4-speed automatic is the transmission.
In addition to being the only S80 model with all-wheel drive
for exceptional handling control in all weather conditions,
the 2.5T AWD also has its own engine. It is a 2.5-liter turbocharged
I5 with 208 horsepower at 5000 rpm and 236 lb-ft of torque
at 1500 rpm.
The fastest models of them all are the T6 and T6 Premier.
Under their hood is a 2.9-liter turbocharged I6 with 268 horsepower
at 5400 rpm and 280 lb-ft of torque at 1800 rpm. Their 4-speed
automatic transmission features a manual-shift mode.
For 2004, the FOUR-C chassis is option on the 2.9, T6 and
T6 Premier. FOUR-C provides two chassis-tuning two modes,
which can be accessed from a single switch on the center console.
The default mode is Comfort, providing optimal ride quality.
Pushing the button selects the Sport mode for a slightly sportier
ride with reduced body roll and rebound.
Standard Features, Options Packages and Style
The look of the 2004 S80 is nothing short of class. The sedan
has new front and rear fascias and LED taillamps and new interior
styling.
While all models are refined and comfortable to sit in, with
front seats that power every which way for optimal comfort,
the T6 Premier model is simply ridiculous. It has leather
upholstery, heated front and rear seats, a DVD player and
a TV tuner, 2 rear screens and wireless headphones.
On top of that, there are options available. Some of the
names from the list are a navigation system and a rear-obstacle
detection system.
