2009 Volvo S80 Road Test Ratings
Fuel Economy
18 - 20 mpg
EDITORS' RATINGS OVERALL SCORE:
Overall
A solid car with innovative safety and plenty of features but little personality.
DETAILED EDITORS' RATINGS
Dynamics
Engine strong in V8 guise; handling and steering is numb. Not especially fun to drive
Comfort
Outstanding seat comfort. Ride is wobbly with multi-mode dampers. Well isolated.
Function
Well laid-out HVAC pictograms and temperature knobs. Center stack gets crowded with buttons when loaded with options.
Design/Build Quality
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.
