Volvo unveiled an all-new car in February 1982, the Volvo 760 GLE.

This new Volvo was a 4-door sedan which replaced the Volvo 264 GLE. The 760 GLE boasted a modern profile with a low waistline and large glass areas. The car was extremely spacious and offered an exceptionally high standard of safety.

Three engine alternatives were offered. The first available was a 2.8 litre V6 which was followed by a 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, a new instrument panel and a totally new, very advanced multilink rear axle.

The Volvo 760 GLE was replaced in autumn 1990 by the Volvo 960.
