Volvo has taken the wraps off of its updated S80 sedan ahead of its Geneva Show debut next week.
Designers brought out a menacing “boser blick” front end said to add more character. Its grille, featuring a re-worked version of Volvo’s larger, trademark iron mask, adds to the more aggressive persona. Revised intakes up front, as well as new rear lights conclude the exterior touch ups.
To compete with the stiff luxury segment competition, supple leather with matching stitching lines the seats, dash and doors. The sedan’s super slim floating dash is similar to the new XC60 and is slightly angled towards the driver for more accessibility.
In being simply a refresh, the S80 gets the same engine options as current derivatives. Base and middle trim levels are powered by the 3.2L inline-six and turbocharged 3.0L inline-six, respectively, while higher editions get the brand’s 311-hp 4.4L V-8.
