Overview

Competing in the midsize sedan segment, the 2016 Volvo S80 Sedan is a direct competitor to the Audi A6 Premium Sedan, the BMW 5 Series 528i Sedan, and the Lincoln MKZ Black Label Sedan. The S80 starts off at an MSRP of $43,450, going all up to $48,375, with 2 trims in the lineup. Each trim is offered with a 2.0L Turbo Inline-4 engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission, producing 240 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Through this powertrain, the S80 manages a 0-60 of 6.6 seconds and a combined fuel economy of 29 MPG.

Buying Advice

Volvo has tried to distribute features and options across the trim range wisely. You can either go for the base T5 Drive-E trim with the optional Convenience Package and Technology Package or you can select the upper T5 Drive-E Platinum. This trim brings both packages as standard and also adds a few desirable amenities including a 12-speaker Harman Kardon surround-sound system. Regardless of the trim, we strongly recommend the Climate Package for heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and more.
