Engine strong in V8 guise; handling and steering is numb. Not especially fun to drive
Outstanding seat comfort. Ride is wobbly with multi-mode dampers. Well isolated.
Well laid-out HVAC pictograms and temperature knobs. Center stack gets crowded with buttons when loaded with options.
Material choices are unusual but work well. Discreet yet quietly stylish inside and out. Appears to be built to a reasonably high standard.
Comfortable
The S80's interior is intended to make your life easy. Its seats can go any distance, a quality that is becoming a Volvo trait.
Luxurious
You won't find a whiz-bang all-in-one multi-function screen or massaging seats. The S80's luxury is that it provides comfort without intruding.
