The 2007 Volvo S80 is available with the V8 engine and all-wheel drive, with the six-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive, or with the six-cylinder and all-wheel drive.
Option packages for the S80 include the Sport package with 18-inch alloy wheels and 245/40R18 tires and speed-sensitive steering with three-way adjustable steering effort. An audio upgrade includes a six-CD changer, MP3 player, auxiliary input and USB. Other options include satellite navigation with remote control, adaptive cruise control, front and rear park assist, dual-screen rear-seat entertainment system, run-flat tires, pearl or metallic paint.
The safety package on the S80 is simply world-class, from the patented body structure to the ABS, traction control, yaw control; front airbags; the new dual-chamber side airbags, with one chamber for the hips and one for the chest; radar adaptive cruise control that can brake the car without driver action; the collision warning system with pre-braking: and the new optional BLIS or blind-spot information system that senses vehicles in the right and left blind spots and delivers a warning if there's something there. The headlamps are now active xenon lamps that follow the road around curves. Also included in the safety roster is the Personal Car Communicator, a new electronic key fob design that can lock or unlock the car from distances up to 110 yards, and can tell you what state the locks are in. It can activate the alarm, and can sense the presence of a human heartbeat inside the car. A traffic distance warning system on top of the dash triggers a flashing red light and an audible warning, both of which can be defeated by the driver if desired.
