Undoubtedly one of the largest in size among the sedans released by Volvo, the 2005 Volvo S80 is comparatively larger than the S60 and considerably longer than the S40. The size might sound intimidating to drivers who think that a large sedan might be too difficult to handle on winding tracks. The 2005 S80 refutes this notion with its admirable maneuverability even on challenging roads.
The 2005 Volvo S80 has a front-wheel drive rather than the rear-wheel drive that is more conventional in sedans. An all-wheel drive is optional with the 2.5T trim level. Depending on the trim level, the transmission can be either an automatic five-speed transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission including a manual shiftgate.
The most powerful engine for the 2005 Volvo S80 is the turbocharger-enabled I-6 engine in the T6. This engine has the ability to produce as much as 268 horsepower. The traction control, the anti-skid mechanism and multiple airbags ensure complete safety of the passengers.
