Exterior - 2006 Volvo S80 Review - Reviews - Volvo S80

Partly because it was designed specifically as a sedan, the S80 looks dramatically different than its squared-off predecessors. The compact grille extends forward and is accented by a prominent V shape molded into the hood. A sharply raked back window has nearly the same angle as the windshield. Crisp rear creases are in sharp contrast with the rounded front of the car. Built on a 109.9-inch wheelbase, the S80 measures 190.9 inches long overall.
