What's New for 2004

Volvo has updated and upgraded its flagship S80 for 2004 with more than 700 changes. Many of those changes are parts and pieces that are hidden from the eye, but many were made to enhance the car's outward appearance and the environment within its passenger compartment. The S80 received a minor refresh this year that includes a modified grille, additional chrome trim and a revised rear fascia for the exterior along with a new gauge cluster and door panels for the interior.

The styling and interior of the Volvo S80 have been revised for 2004. The cabin is quieter and handling has been improved. Smooth and quiet, the big Volvo S80 offers luxury, roominess, and refinement. Its safety engineering is world class. Out on the road, it's as stable as the Rock of Gibraltar and its highly evolved engines deliver smooth, strong power. 

Noteworthy Features

All S80's come with Volvo's most advanced safety features, including inflatable side curtain airbags, anti-whiplash seats, and Stability and Traction Control (STC). The S80 2.9 is powered by a 2.9-liter six-cylinder engine that produces 194 horsepower and drives the front wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. Standard features include dual-zone electronic climate controls, a pollen filter, a leather-wrapped and tilt and telescopic steering wheel with cruise and audio controls, power adjustable driver's seat with lumbar support, a CD player, a rear fog light, and a retractable grocery bag or gallon milk jug retainer in the trunk. A Premium Package ($1,995) adds leather seating surfaces and a power glass sunroof. 

Options on all three S80s include a new Warm Weather Package ($575) that includes the air quality system, an electric rear sun curtain, rear door side sun curtains and an infrared reflective front windshield. Stand-alone options include metallic paint ($45), While Pearlescent paint ($600), high-intensity headlamps ($500), reverse warning monitor ($400), Dynamic Stability and Traction Control ($695), DVD-based navigation system ($1,895), 17-inch 'Stentor' wheels ($500), a premium audio system with an in-dash four-CD changer and 10 premium speakers from Danish audio company Dynaudio ($1,200), the telematics system ($835) and the Four-C suspension ($995). 

Walkaround

Five years ago, the S80 introduced Volvo's no longer boxy styling theme, with design cues that have since been applied to the rest of the lineup, including the popular XC90 sport-utility vehicle. Those cues include softer, less decisive lines with a gently sloping hood, steeply raked windscreen, slightly bowed roofline and almost coupe-like rear window. A short rear deck lid completes the seductive silhouette. Flared wheel wells circle alloy wheels. Every corner has been rounded and rid of severe angles. Lightly sculpted doors and side panels contrast sensuously with the slab-sided look of Volvos past. 

For 2004, the Volvo S80 flagship sedan has undergone its own styling update with a new nose that features a square-mesh grille, a reshaped trunk lid with smaller tail lamps, a new rear bumper, chrome exterior door handles. The styling changes are so precise that they include new exterior rear view mirrors designed to reduce wind noise and help keep the side windows cleaner. 

Interior

The S80's tasteful two-tone color scheme ties the cabin together in cool, muted hues, from the dashboard and glove box to the doors and kick panels. The spare use of a simple, dark simulated wood lends a nice, understated accent. For 2004, the interior has been updated with new door trim panels, chrome-accented ventilation system controls, redesigned gauges, and charcoal-colored trim around the center console. 

The available leather seats feel rich and firm and provide ample support, with just enough bolstering for a snug fit. Getting in and out of them takes little effort, as the seating position is upright and the doors open wide. But just in case a little help is needed, Volvo provides a driver's-side grab handle, a convenience found in only a few trucks and fewer cars. 

The S80 has a roomy back seat and Volvo did not neglect comfort here. The wide rear bench easily accommodates three adults, with legroom compromised only when the front seats are in their rearmost position. 

The instrument panel is particularly clean. The gauges fit logically and don't overwhelm the driver with unnecessary clutter. Wherever the driver positions the tilt steering wheel, the center-placed speedometer and tachometer remain in plain view. The rear-view mirror dims automatically, and the adjustable outside mirrors have a memory function. A nicely designed hand-brake lever is used in place of the foot pedal often found in this class. There's only a small amount of center console storage. 

Climate controls are intuitive and attractive. Dual controls allow separate temperature adjustment for driver and passenger. Controls for both front seat heaters sit closer to the passenger. The radio uses a dial to select programmed stations, in place of the once-familiar row of buttons. Volvo's radio controls take some familiarization, but work well and give the driver more presets. A dial is also used to choose between AM, FM, or CD modes. Additional radio controls are on the steering wheel. 

The S80 has a large, deep trunk made all the more accessible by its low lift-over height. Carrying a lot of cargo is no problem. A release inside the trunk allows the rear seat back to fold down for even more cargo capacity. All three rear seats have electrically retractable headrests as well; pressing a button on the center stack gets them out of the way for improved rearward visibility. 

When it comes to safety engineering and features, Volvo has no peers. Dual-stage airbags for both driver and front-seat passenger adjust according to the force of the collision. Specially designed active headrests reduce whiplash in a rear collision. Inflatable window curtains, as well as side-impact airbags, protect the head and torso in a side collision. All three rear seating positions have three-point seat belts. Volvo benefits from an amazing facility in Sweden, the Volvo Cars Safety Centre, that conducts testing for crashworthiness, rollover, and other safety issues. 

Driving Impression

Already notable for its smooth ride and quiet cabin, the 2004 Volvo S80 is even smoother and quieter than before. Volvo has worked hard with such things as the new rear view mirrors to keep all outside sounds outside. It also handles better, thanks to revised steering, and with the optional Four-C suspension, the S80 can also provide the firm and responsive ride that appeals to the auto enthusiast. 

The normally aspirated 2.9-liter inline-6 provides good response and acceleration. Volvo says this engine, EPA-rated at 20/28 mpg City/Highway, can propel the S80 from 0 to 60 mph in 8.3 seconds. 

The four-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly and precisely, most notably at higher loads. The suspension absorbs bumps effectively, eliminating road imperfections. The S80 rides and handles well even with a full load of passengers and luggage. A new steering gear for 2004 offers more direct feedback and enhances dynamic performance, good whether you're driving to the grocery or galloping through the mountains. (The new gear comes from ZF, the German automotive supplier.)  The S80's brakes are easy to modulate for smooth stops.  

Summary

The Volvo S80 offers excellent safety engineering, a smooth ride, a quiet cabin, and roomy, luxurious accommodations. Volvo designed the S80 to compete against the Audi A6, Lexus ES 300 and GS 300, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series and Acura RL. That's tough opposition. But the S80 has its near-silent ride, unique look and personality, Volvo's renowned engineering designed to protect its passengers. Now, with its new steering gear and optional Four-C suspension, the S80 also offers outstanding dynamics.
