The highly
successful Volvo 760 GLE was developed and expanded to give birth to the Volvo
740 in 1984.
The Volvo 740 was powered by a range of different engines
over the years, mostly 4-cylinder in-line units with or without turbochargers,
and there were also 6-cylinder diesel variants.
The Volvo 740 owed its
immense success primarily to factors such as utter reliability, excellent
accommodation and renowned safety levels.
The exterior underwent a minor
facelift in autumn 1988 to carry the model into the 1989 model
year.
From August 1990, the Volvo 740 was made in parallel with the 940
for two years, after which the latter took over completely from the
740.
