Autumn 1982 saw the introduction of a new model in the Volvo range - the 360. The Volvo 360 was based on the 340 range but featured a 4-cylinder 2-litre engine. The "360" model designation was introduced to give these better-equipped and more powerful cars a profile of their own.

A sportier variant called the 360 GLT was also introduced at the same time, featuring a more powerful fuel injected version of the same engine.

The picture shows the 5-door version. There was also a 3-door hatchback and a 4-door sedan.
