I am selling my beloved Volvo 850 sedan. I bought this from the original owner so it's a 2 owner car. It was serviced only at the Volvo dealership (the carfax confirms this), and is a GREAT and RELIABLE car. It has high mileage (342k) but if your familiar with Volvo then you know this thing will run forever
This Volvo is also very safe! Volvo pride's themselves on their safety features This 94 Volvo 850 Sedan has a 5 cylinder, 2.4 liter, 168hp engine and manual transmission BRAND NEW TIRES This vehicle has 342,819 miles and runs like a tank! 18 City, 25 Highway Miles Per Gallon I just had it inspected so the Annual Safety Inspection and Emission Stickers are good through 6/15! This vehicle is in great shape inside and out. No dents or major scratches on the body and the interior is in near perfect condition. Seriously, the guy who owned it before me was a CLEAN FREAK I have purchased a CARFAX on this vehicle and will show it to anyone interested. Routine Maintenance was been kept up such as fluid changes and belt services Recent Repairs Include: -Power Windows -Power Locks -Dual SRS Airbags -Heated Seats -FM/AM and tape cassette (better than a cd play in my opinion because you can get a tape cassette adaptor and not only run a cd player but also your ipod, iphone, or whatever digital device you want -Cruise Control -Large Trunk VEHICLE EXPERT REVIEW By Richard Truett Orlando Sentinel September 8, 1994 I don't like the looks of the Volvo 850 Sportswagon. Then again I can't recall any Volvo - except the classic P1800 - whose looks I have liked. In fact, after testing Volvos on and off for five years, I think I am finally getting the message: Volvos aren't about trendy styling or driving the best-looking machine on your block. Nope. The real beauty of a Volvo can be found underneath the fenders. It's the durability, the ruggedness and the built-in safety features of the machine that make you like it. To dwell on the 850 Sportswagon's dowdy styling and weird taillights is to miss the point. PERFORMANCE The most powerful engine Volvo has ever built rests under the square hood of the Volvo 850 Sportswagon. It's a 222-horsepower, turbocharged, in-line five-cylinder aluminum engine of 2.3 liters. This terrific lightweight engine - which drives the front wheels - delivers the same level of performance you would expect from a small V-8. Smooth is not exactly how I would describe the way this engine runs. Perhaps the odd number of cylinders makes for more vibration than a four- or six-cylinder engine. However, I like the way the five-cylinder engine runs. It feels powerful. And it is. Nowhere in Volvo's press materials are you going to find an official 0-to-60 mph time - after all, Volvo has that safety reputation to protect. But in the pages of enthusiasts magazines such as Road and Track, you'll find that the 850 Sportswagon can reach 60 mph in just 7.4 seconds. That's fast. If you like cars that are quick from a stop, then you will be smitten with this car. Pressing the accelerator hard enough to activate the turbocharger gives the 850 enough power to make it leap into action. A turbocharger, by the way, is a pump driven by exhaust gas. It forces a denser mixture of fuel and air into the engine, which increases power while only marginally affecting fuel mileage. If you drive normally, you won'tuse the turbocharger much, but the device kicks in to make passing power nothing short of excellent. Speaking of fuel mileage, on a 900-mile one-day driving marathon to Pensacola and back, the 850 averaged 24.9 mpg on the road. HANDLING Has any car that ever looked so dull handled so brilliantly? Probably not. The 850 Sportswagon is definitely a street sleeper. The only thing that hints that the 850 is equipped with some serious high-performance hardware are its big 16-inch alloy rims and low-profile tires. You can drive the 850 just as hard and fast as you want. It can handle any curve at any legal speed. That would be a respectable feat for a sedan or sports coupe, but it's almost unheard of for a wagon, especially one not wearing a BMW badge. The ride is firm but not so stiff as to make the car tiresome to drive. It is very quiet on the road and over bumps. Power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering allows you to turn a complete circle in a tight 33.5 feet. And the four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes provide excellent stopping power. Our test car came with optional traction control, but it didn't seem to make a difference. I tried it on a dirt road, but with the dash-mounted switch in either position, the front tires still spun. Volvo, which is a newcomer to front-wheel drive cars, really did its homework with the 850. You can't tell the front wheels are driving the car. FIT AND FINISH Even though the interior of the 850 Sportswagon is adorned with wood trim and leather upholstery, it still comes off as being more functional than stylish. The dash is rather square and plain-looking. The analog instruments, with their white letters, black background and orange needles are easy to read but not especially noteworthy. And the switches and buttons all have a somewhat heavy and utilitarian feel to them. Be that as it may, the interior of the 850 is an exceptionally comfortable placet be. I know; I spent 15 hours - 10 straight - behind the wheel. The heavily padded front bucket seats are just terrific. You don't just sit on them, you sit in them. You sink slightly in and then the seat firms up and holds you in place. The high head restraints look a bit awkward, but I can't recall a test vehicle that I felt protected my head and neck - and those of my passenger - better. More than any car I can remember, the seats in the 850 give you a feeling of security. Even though the 850 Sportswagon is a mid-sized car, it is an extremely well packaged vehicle, so it feels more like a large car. There is an abundant amount of head and leg room front and rear. The rear seats split and fold forward to allow for odd-size parcels to be stowed in the rear cargo area. Our test car came with a built-in child safety seat and practically every power accessory you could want, including a power sunroof. All in all, the Volvo 850 Sportswagon is right up there with the Oldsmobile Aurora and Saab 900 S as one of the best vehicles I've tested this year. Specifications: 1994 Volvo 850 Sportswagon Base price: $31,735 EPA rating: 19 mpg city/26 mpg highway Price as tested: $33,790 Incentives: None Truett's tip: The 850 Sportswagon is the ideal vehicle for young families. It's a car that can haul the kids as well as be driven fast and hard like a sports coupe. It just may be Volvo's best car. |

2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge First Drive Review | Pumping up the electric range
Thu, Mar 24 2022PALM SPRINGS, Calif — It may not look like it on the outside, but the 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge is a substantially updated plug-in hybrid SUV. In fact, the entire XC60 line is refreshed for the 2022 model year, but weÂ’re going to zero in on the Recharge PHEV. Volvo let us spend a day behind the wheel of the newly-announced “extended range” Recharge model in sunny California, and we came away with far more feelings than expected from this Swedish crossover. Just so everybody is on the same page, the “extended range” Recharge represents a mid-model-year refresh of the XC60 Recharge. There were 2022 model year XC60 Recharge models sold prior to today that featured the same electric hardware as prior model years, and therefore featured the old EPA-estimated electric range of 19 miles on a full charge. The “extended range” model that we drove bumps that all the way up to 36 miles, nearly doubling the previous range. Volvo says that these new “extended range” models are the ones shipping to dealers now, not the older model. This is definitely something to be aware of in later years should you find a used 2022 XC60. So, how has Volvo found this much extra range? The big difference is in the battery pack, going from an 11.6-kilowatt-hour pack to an 18.8-kWh pack. Volvo managed to package a third layer of cells into the pack that it didnÂ’t have before, and it did so in the same space as before — it continues to run along the carÂ’s spine in the center tunnel area. Volvo claims that this more energy-dense battery pack will take 5-8 hours to charge when hooked up to a 240V power source, so you should easily get a full charge by leaving it plugged in overnight, assuming you have the applicable charging hardware. This new battery pack is paired with a totally revamped powertrain setup. The layout is the same as before. That means there is an electric motor positioned on the rear axle that drives the rear wheels and a gasoline engine in front that exclusively powers the front wheels, thereby giving the XC60 Recharge all-wheel drive. To our delight, both the electric motor and the gasoline engine are new this year. The new rear electric motor represents a big power boost, with 143 horsepower greatly surpassing the old motorÂ’s 87 horsepower. Ultimately, this means that the XC60 Recharge is now significantly more enjoyable to drive in its purely electric mode (aptly named “Pure”).
When Android Automotive goes in the dash, Google wins — and automakers lose data
Tue, May 22 2018You've gotta hand it to Google for the way the Silicon Valley tech giant has made indelible inroads into the car on multiple fronts. The most obvious is with its pioneering self-driving car technology that's caused car companies to get their act together on autonomous vehicles — and also collaborate with Google. Google has more directly extended its influence and data-mining capabilities into the car with its Android Auto smartphone-projection platform that most major automakers have adopted along with Apple's CarPlay. And now it's preparing to dig even deeper into dashboards by deploying its open-source operating system, Android Automotive, beginning with Audi and Volvo. Volvo recently announced that its next-generation Sensus infotainment system will run Android Automotive as an OS and include Google's Play Store for cloud-based content, Maps for navigation and Google Assistant for voice recognition, which can even command a car's climate control. By embedding Google in the dash, Volvo says owners will get an improved connected experience. "Bringing Google services into Volvo cars will accelerate innovation in connectivity and boost our development in applications and connected services," Volvo senior vice president of R&D Henrik Green said in a statement. "Soon, Volvo drivers will have direct access to thousands of in-car apps that make daily life easier and the connected in-car experience more enjoyable." Having Android Automotive onboard could benefit drivers — and provide a big win for Google, since it opens a deep and lucrative new data-mining vein for the company. But it's a wave of a white flag for car companies when it comes to delivering their own cloud-based content and services. It also represents a massive data giveaway and, for Audi, a reversal of earlier reservations about letting Google get too much access to car data. Not long after Android Auto and Apple CarPlay were introduced in 2014 and most automakers eagerly embraced the technologies, several German automakers second-guessed their decision when they realized what was at stake: data. At a conference in Berlin in 2015, Audi CEO Rupert Stadler said car owners "want to be in control of their data, and not subject to monitoring." A few months earlier, Stadler stated that "the data that we collect is our data and not Google's.
Volvo to test 100 self-driving cars on Swedish roads [w/video]
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Autonomous vehicles are increasingly being tested on public roads around the globe, including Nissan in Japan and Google here in the US, and now Volvo is preparing to test its own self-driving cars on the streets of Sweden. In conjunction with the state government, Volvo's Drive Me project kicks off next year, starting with the development of customer research and infrastructure technology before setting 100 self-driving cars loose on the streets of Gothenburg in 2017.
These 100 cars will be in the hands of customers, and the tests will help Volvo and the Swedish government track varying aspects of self-driving cars including economic benefits, consumer confidence, traffic flow and passenger safety. The technology being developed by Volvo uses not only on-board radar and sensors but also map data gathered from the cloud, and it controls all driving systems including the brakes, throttle and steering. Drivers can engage and disengage the car's autonomous drive mode by pushing a button on the steering wheel, and the technology will also allow for a self-parking feature.
While the cars shown in this demo are S60 models, the test vehicles will be based on Volvo's upcoming Scalable Product Architecture (SPA), which underpins future models like the next-gen Volvo XC90. Scroll down for a video and press release marking the announcement.
