When the
Volvo 760 GLE was introduced in February 1982, it was available only as a
4-door sedan. 1985 saw the launch of the long-awaited 5-door estate
car.
The 760 GLE estate car continued the tradition begun by the Volvo
265, that is to say a 6-cylinder estate car with a high equipment
specification.
The 760 GLE had a modern profile with a low waistline and
large glass areas. In estate car guise, the 760 featured an almost vertical
tailgate - a profile which by now had become something of a hallmark of Volvo's
estate cars. The new 5-door estate combined generous accommodation for
passengers and luggage with an exceptionally high standard of
safety.
Three engine alternatives were offered: a 2.8 litre V6, a
high-performance 2.3 litre 4-cylinder turbocharged unit, and a 6-cylinder
turbocharged diesel.
The 760 GLE received a substantial facelift for the
1988 model year, with an all-new front and a new instrument panel being the
most noticeable features.
The Volvo 760 GLE was replaced in autumn 1990
by the Volvo 960.
