The meticulous attention to detail
includes the road ahead.
This Volvo S80 delivers the royal treatment – 21st century style. Technologically speaking, scouts
run ahead, check the road, and report back. At work are digital video and radar-based predictive
technologies – Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)* and Collision Warning with Auto Brake (CWAB)*
– which monitor the cars in front and adjust power delivery and braking intuitively. This onboard
intelligence is available to help you negotiate traffic in terms most favorable to you and your
passengers – helping you keep a safe distance. The creature comforts and thoughtful amenities
throughout the cabin also seem to anticipate and satisfy your every need – even the remote key
or the Personal Car Communicator (PCC)** can help keep you in touch with your car’s status:
locked, unlocked, occupied? Call it a sixth sense, second sight or intuition; no one predicted
intelligence would travel like this.
* Included in the optional Technology package
** Standard on V8 AWD, optional on T6 AWD and 3.2

Volvo’s advanced driving system helps make driving more comfortable. Now supplemented with an optional digital video camera* to help
examine the road ahead, it is possible for the new Volvo S80 to discern stationary objects from other road users and to register lane
markings. If you are ever distracted or tired, the car’s ability to identify your lane – and any stationary vehicles in your lane – can help you
reach your destination without incident. But please note: even these sophisticated systems – Lane Departure Warning (LDW)*, Driver Alert
Control (DAC)* and the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS)** – have limitations. It is the driver’s responsibility to remain alert at all times.

Intelligence creates
its own momentum.
Power and control. How often do you find them in
perfect accord? In all its versions, the new Volvo S80
offers fluid performance. The drivetrain and chassis
perform as one. Acceleration is never delayed.
And liveliness is assured by immediate response
throughout the entire range of engine speeds. Volvo’s
premium source of power, the 311 hp V8, combines
enormous capacity with superior refinement. With
advanced, hyper-efficient fuel management systems,
each available Volvo engine maximizes performance
in the smartest way possible.

It doesn’t just devour
highway, it knows
which fork to use.
Experience sophistication and refinement where it
matters most: on the road. Here, the advanced
chassis displays impeccable manners. Defined by high
torsional-rigidity, wide stance and a long wheelbase,
the Volvo S80 chassis is a faithful interpreter of road
and driver. Its multi-link rear suspension counteracts
any tendency to understeer while the McPherson
front suspension struts promote superior comfort.
Above and beyond the manifestation of comfort and
performance that’s standard in the Volvo S80, the
lowered sport chassis delivers impressive agility and
balance. With it you’ll experience quicker steering
and a sure, planted feeling at all times, in all corners.
Devour miles of highway with grace and then relish
the twists and turns that lead you home in time for
dinner. Bon appétit.
*Included in the optional T6 Dynamic package, optional on V8

Volvo designers feel they’ve created an environment ideal for driver and
passenger alike. Floating layers, inspired by Scandinavian landscapes,
both converge and soothe. Controls are easy to operate and pleasing
to touch. Even the Volvo Navigation System’s (VNS)* screen appears
and disappears into the dashboard with an elegance and simplicity
that complements it’s vast functionality. And much attention has been
paid to comfort throughout the cabin. For example, the seats set the
standard for ergonomic and aesthetic excellence – and with ventilated
front seats**, integrated fans can help you stay cool.

An air of refinement that actually includes refined air.
How refreshing.
What makes a luxury car a luxury car? Is it the broad, beautiful strokes of polished
wood, exquisite leather surroundings, and a cabin so quiet you can hear the sound of
satisfaction? Or is it in the minute details that show, in every respect, this luxury car
is at your service. For example, the Volvo S80 can claim air so free of allergens, it is
recommended by the Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association. In any case, this
is a car that enjoys the highest standards – as will everyone who travels aboard.
And when it comes to luxury – if you want it all, the Volvo S80 has it all.

Mind the crystal.
Volvo’s modern sound systems are among the best in the world
– especially with the latest generation of Dolby®Pro Logic®II
Surround, pure digital amplification and spectacular loudspeakers
from Danish studio-monitor specialist, Dynaudio. Our audiophile
system, Dynaudio Premium Sound System*, utilizes twelve Dynaudio
loudspeakers – including two in the center – and sophisticated
sound processing calibrated especially for the interior of the Volvo
S80. Plug in your favorite MP3 player or iPod®and the combination
of crystal-clear presence and wake-the-neighbors power ensures
accurate reproduction of your favorite songs at any volume.
Please exercise caution.
* Standard on V8 AWD, inluded in the optional Multimedia package on 3.2 and T6

Ordinary, but only when
over-achievement is.
If nonconformity is the first sign of intelligence, then the
Volvo S80 is brilliant against a crowded field of luxury cars.
But it’s not just different for argument’s sake. It’s different for
your sake. With the safety, performance, comfort and style
beyond the expected, this is what happens when the European
luxury sedan gets a significant Scandinavian upgrade.
