The Volvo S80 has undergone a comprehensive mid-generation face lift for 2004. Highlights include additional chrome exterior trim, a restyled grille, a revised rear deck, new door panels and a redesigned instrument cluster.
The S80 model lineup has also expanded from three to five variants, as two new styles debut this year. A new 2.5T trim is available with both front and all-wheel drive. The 2.9 and T6 styles return, and the T6 Elite has been renamed the T6 Premium. All models except the 2.5T are available with Volvo's new Four-C adjustable suspension system.
Volvo's power plant selection expands this year with the arrival of the 2.5T. This new trim is powered by a 2.5 liter inline five, which generates 208 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque. This engine can only be paired with a five-speed manual transmission, and fuel economy is expected at 20/27 mpg.
The three other models house a 2.9 liter inline six cylinder engine, and every model is now turbocharged. This engine delivers 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. Fuel economy is estimated at 19/26 mpg. A four-speed automatic transmission is mated to this engine.
Reviewers have commented that the S80's interior layout is much improved for 2004, with more user-friendly controls and an aesthetically pleasing instrument cluster. The S80 offers strong acceleration and stable handling across the board, but the 2.9-equipped models will speed from 0 to 60 mph in about seven seconds. The optional new Four-C suspension is well reviewed, and its variable settings can be tailored for comfort with varying surfaces and driving needs. The Sport setting is a good match for the T6's power.
As this is an AWD vehicle, I am not clear on what occurs when the 'W' button is pushed? There is no explanation in the manual, other than you use this when driving in wet and winter conditions. I'd like to understand what the function truly is, so that I can determine when it is best to invoke.
Driving to work this morning I heard a pop like something hit the car. Then I noticed the passenger side power mirror was completely black.
Where is the IAT sensor located in detail please
Went to turn on my heat and there was nothing. It just worked the day be for. Was told to replace resistor. Did, put everything back and now all it will do is click once or twice and then nothing. Antly ideas? Please help.
Gas leaks a little bit under the backseat of passenger side
