THERE’S MORE TO LIFE THAN A VOLVO. THERE’S THE DEDICATION TO ACHIEVEMENT
AND THE LUXURY OF FULFILMENT. THERE’S THE INVESTMENT OF TRUST AND THE
RETURN OF RESPECT. THERE’S THE CELEBRATION OF FREEDOM AND THE COMFORT
OF SECURITY. THERE’S THE LOVE OF BEAUTY AND THE BEAUTY OF LOVE. THERE’S THE
PURSUIT OF DISTINCTION AND THERE’S THE CONFIDENCE OF DRIVING SOMETHING OTHER
THAN ANOTHER CLICHÉ. THAT’S WHY the VOLVO S80 IS MORE THAN A LUXURY CAR.
CONTENTS

Reward yourself.
Spoil others.
Everybody wins here. Drive the Volvo S80 and reward yourself with the
perfect balance of luxury and intelligence. Enjoy indulgence without extravagance,
performance without pretence and safety without peer. This well-crafted expression
of automotive excellence reflects the quiet confidence of those who can share their
achievements without reservation.
Volvo. for life
2

Imagine, just for a moment, a car as beautiful as it is gifted;
A car endowed with power, control and an understanding of what
goes on around it. Assume that it shares these gifts with its
driver. The tensions of a dangerous route become fewer. The joy
of an unwritten road becomes greater. And the prospect of
a perfect drive becomes a real probability.
6

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 favourable to you and your
passengers – helping you to 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 fob, 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.
9

Volvo’s advanced driving system helps make driving more comfortable. Now supplemented with a digital video camera to help examine
the road ahead, it is possible for the 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.
10

Intelligence creates its own momentum.

Power and control. How often do you find them in
perfect accord? In all its petrol, flexifuel and diesel
variants, the 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 rev range. Volvo’s
premium source of diesel power, the 205hp D5,
exploits state-of-the-art sequential twin-turbo technology
to deliver enormous capacity with superior refinement.
There is even a brilliant DRIVe diesel available with
the lowest C02emissions for luxury cars in this class
(119 g/km). With advanced, hyper-efficient fuel
management systems, each available Volvo engine
maximises performance in the smartest way possible.
15

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.
17

Somewhere between points A and B we discover the finer points.
18

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 Road Traffic Information (RTI) navigation 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
the Dynamic front seats, deep contours and full side bolsters provide
even more support through tight corners. Now, run your hand over
Volvo’s real wood inlays and the genuine leather upholstery. Exquisite
to the touch and crafted with meticulous care, rest assured they’re
the genuine article and of world-class quality.
21

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 air itself out before you get in,
automatically close the vents to protect you from outside pollution, and 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.
23

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.
Our audiophile system, Premium Sound, utilises twelve high-end
loudspeakers – including two in the centre – and sophisticated
sound processing calibrated especially for the interior of the
Volvo S80. Plug in your favourite MP3 player or iPod®and the
combination of crystal-clear presence and wake-the-neighbours
power ensures accurate reproduction of your favourite songs at
any volume. Please exercise caution.

Maybe the key to genius is no key at all.
How smart is this car? With the Personal Car Communicator, your Volvo S80 knows to let you unlock doors
with a grasp of a handle and start your car without a key in hand – it’s enough to have the key in your
pocket or handbag. Smarter still, you can check your PCC remote to see the status of your car (is it locked,
or unlocked?) and with Home Safe Lighting, your way to and from the car can be illuminated brilliantly.

26

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.
28

There’s more to life than a volvo. That’s why we design our cars
to support you in any situation on the road. That’s why our
safety technology has pushed automotive development for more
than eighty years. That’s why we aim for a future where cars
don’t crash. That’s why we lead the way to zero emissions,
and offer one of the premium segments strongest ranges of low
CO2 alternatives. And there are all the reasons in the world
to move the boundaries for what’s possible and what’s not.
That’s why we innovate for life.
31

Innovated for your enjoyment,
the Volvo safety technologies
will protect more than the fun
of driving.
Across the world, Volvo equals safety. And that comes with good reason, because
few carmakers can match our record of safety innovations and the commitment for
safety that has guided us for more than 80 years. Of course, this makes us extremely
proud. But we’re not satisfied. Because we know what we want to achieve: zero
accidents. This huge task calls for innovative thinking and a brand new approach to
the way we design cars. Good news is we’ve already come a long way. For starters,
our cars are more fun and engaging to drive than ever (because a bored driver
will never be a safe driver). Neither is the technology needed any figment of the
imagination – some is already available in your Volvo. This means driving a Volvo
today is like having a first peek at a very exciting automotive future – a future where
passionate engineering and design do more to help you get the most out of life.
After all, there’s more to life than a Volvo.

Designed to catch the light
brilliantly, this car also reflects
a promise.
Thankfully, the automotive industry is moving away from fantasyland to the real world.
Our journey towards a better environment started already in the early 70’s. Then we were
among the first carmakers to acknowledge the environmental downside of cars and to do
something about it. Since then we are constantly innovating to reduce the environmental
impact of the cars and how we make them.
Today’s biggest challenge is, of course, to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions that cause
climate change. Today we offer one of the premium segments strongest ranges of low
CO2alternatives: the Volvo DRIVe variants. Utilising innovative powertrain technology
together with advanced aerodynamics, low friction technology and lightweight materials,
the DRIVe range is an important step towards zero emissions.
In near future we will introduce new technology such as plug-in hybrid vehicles that will
further reduce CO2emissions and can be charged from a standard wall socket. And we’re
heavily engaged in the development of electrical vehicles – a technology that will dramatically
reduce the environmental footprint of our cars and make them even more fun to drive.
Good for you, and for the world we share.

Cleaner exhaust.
Fast responding after a cold start , Volvo’s advanced emission
control eliminates between 95 and 99% of carbon monoxide,
hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides from petrol engine exhaust
gases. The Volvo turbodiesels feature a particulate filter
that removes about 95% of the particles from the diesel
exhaust gases. Most engines comply with stringent Euro 5
emission requirements.
Flexifuel for lower fossil CO2 emissions.
Running on E85 bioethanol in a Volvo Flexifuel (2.0F or 2.5F T),
you can significantly cut your greenhouse gas emissions.
Because bioethanol is a renewable fuel , the carbon dioxide
emissions from combustion is already part of the ecosystem and
won’t contribute to greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere.
Allergy-tested interior materials.
All our upholsteries and inter ior textiles are tested for
certain allergy-inducing or harmful substances and comply
with Oeko-Tex Standard 100. And several interior metal
details are tested with regard to contact allergies. Good for
you, and for anyone who shares your ride.
Allergy-approved interior.
Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) provides cabin air that
is so clean it is recommended by the Swedish Asthma and
Allergy Association.
Fresh cabin air.
Continuously monitoring incoming air and shutting out carbon
monoxide, ground-level ozone and nitrogen dioxide, Volvo’s
Interior Air Quality System helps ensure that the air you
breathe in the c ar is cleaner than that outside when driving
in heav y city traffic.
Fuel-saving design.
To reduce energy-loss from wind and roll resistance, we
utilise advanced aerodynamic design, light-weight materials
and low-friction technology. Together with state-of-the-art
engine technology, this lowers your CO2emissions and helps
you travel further on less fuel.
Maximised fuel efficiency with diesel.
Volvo’s advanced common-rail turbodiesel technology
ensures superior fuel economy and low CO2emissions
– from the CO2optimised DRIVe variant to the sparkling
205 hp D5.
119 g CO2 per km.
Our latest eco-progress, the Volvo S80 DRIVe, satisfies
itself with only 4.5 litres fuel per 100 km – for minimum
emissions and maximum style.
85% recyclable.
To help minimise its total environmental impact , ever y
Volvo is designed to facilitate recovery and recycling at
the end of its useful life.
Brake for energy.
Every time you brake, the battery is fed with extra power.
Smart and fuel-saving.
