All-New Volvo S80 executive saloon
With an all-new, dynamic exterior and refined, luxurious Scandinavian interior and ride and handling developed on UK roads, the all-new Volvo S80 arrives in Volvo showrooms this summer to give executive car buyers a distinctive new rival to the traditional German brands.

In addition, Volvo is currently offering three years’ free servicing¹, plus zero per cent APR finance from Volvo Car Finance for all S40 and V50 models¹.

The new 2.0-litre, 145PS petrol engine produces refined performance with a 0-60mph time of nine seconds, economy of 38.2mpg on the official combined cycle and emissions of 177g/km for both the S40 and V50.
