Volvo S80 - Manual

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.

Volvo S80 engine choices
2.4 litre (140 bhp)
Optimum cost and economy with smooth, refined five
cylinder performance.
2.4 litre (170 bhp)
Wide torque range and good fuel economy make this engine ideal
for regular towing and load carrying.
2.5 litre D (140 bhp) Direct Injection Diesel Engine
Superbly quiet, refined and drives like a petrol engine yet delivers
diesel economy.
2.9 litre (204 bhp)
Six cylinder power and refinement for effortless cruising.
T6 SE (272 bhp)
Awesome sporting performance.
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
l ambda sensors reduces the
l evels 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.

The Urban fuel consumption figure is based on typical city driving, including starting the car from cold.
The Extra Urban figure is based on typical motorway driving and cruising.
The Combined figure averages the consumption across both cycles.
' These results do not express or imply any guarantee of the fuel
consumption of a particular car as there are inevitable differences
between individual cars of the same model. Additionally driving
style, traffic conditions, as well as the age and mileage and
standard of maintenance will affect a car's fuel consumption.
