Overview
The 2012 Volvo S80 Sedan is a midsize sedan offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $37,950. For that price, it mainly competes with the Audi A6 Sedan, the BMW 5 Series Sedan, and the Lincoln MKZ Sedan. Between 2 trims, the S80 offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.2L inline-6 capable of making 240 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 300 horsepower-making 3.0L turbocharged inline-6 engine. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The S80 reaches 60 mph from zero in 7.4 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 6.0 seconds with the turbocharged engine. Depending on the powertrain, the S80 can manage a combined fuel economy between 21 and 23 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 9 striking colors the S80 comes in really pull you towards itself.
