Overview & Reviews

The 2010 Volvo S80's options have been revised, including a few new features and a reorganization of packages. Notably, the Sport package has been broken up into stand-alone options for the V8 model, while its sport-tuned suspension is available on the T6 as part of the new Dynamic package. All S80s get a revised front grille, chrome trim accents and dual exhaust tips, while the base model gets snazzier interior trim.

• Well equipped, impressive safety features, comfortable ride and seats, stylish and functional interior layout.

• Unimpressive base engine, forgettable driving experience, awkward navigation system interface.

  Never more comfortable - 2010 Volvo S80
  By Anonymous - November 19 - 2:00 am

  Bought the S80 V8 AWD with the executive package. Never have I been happier with a car, and Ive had 25 in the past 26 years. The ride rivals my old Mercedes 420SEL. Massaging seats a nice bonus. Awesome power, good enough handling, and hours of comfort on 5 hour drives every weekend. I have a bad back, and BMW/Audi/Mercedes are too stiff. Cadillac/Lincoln are to "glitzy". Love the understated beauty of the car. Most comfortable seats in the world.

  Love the new s-80 - 2010 Volvo S80
  By john w - August 28 - 9:26 am

  Having owned an 04 V-70 with a n/a 2.4 5 cylinder we were well acquainted with the Volvo brand, I also own an 05 V-70. We have the PZEV 220 hp engine and it is plenty peppy, decent on fuel on the highway, not so much around town 19 mpg. The overall build quality is superb,the standard equipment is mind boggling, leather is standard, not so with mb/audi/bmw! Hd radio and bluetooth! Oh and did I mention the seats, the most comfortable seats period! It is a fun car to drive, Volvo tweaked the shift points and our 3.2 pzev flies, great ride not as punishing as our 04 V-70. I looked and drove audi/mb/bmw a-6/e class/5 series. It is true they have more potent engines but for thousands less!JHW

  2010 T6 is a real sleeper - drive one! - 2010 Volvo S80
  By Chicago T6 - February 8 - 6:03 am

  Considered all the usual suspects from BMW, MB, Lexus, and Audi, and liked the S80 T6 more than any of them. It has a couple quirks, but doesnt every car? The I6 turbo is very responsive, makes great noises and is super smooth - much more so than the competitors V6 engines, and on par with the turbo I6 from BMW. I have the dynamic package which really creates a great handler, without undue harshness, and it really does look more stylish and aggressive with the lowered suspension and package specific wheels. Great car!

  2010 S80, trying another Volvo - 2010 Volvo S80
  By Jon - January 27 - 10:40 pm

  I have about 4500 on my black Volvo S80. This is my second Volvo, I traded in a 03 S60 on this one. So far so good. Much improved over the S60 in terms of build quality, and materials. Only complaints are the engine noise at cruising speeds, seems intrusive for a car that costs this much. I drove Audi, Volkswagen, and Lexus and and went with Volvo for the price. I am happy with the choice.

  Almost Perfect - 2010 Volvo S80
  By Enrique - April 7 - 5:30 pm

  Comparing my new 2010 S80, 3.2 to what I have driven before: Audi A6, 2.7T, Volvo XC90 3.2 and Volvo S60 T5. Lets just say when it comes to speed, it leaves much to desire. I miss that PUNCH when I floor it. The dealer warned me it wasnt as fast as what I was used to driving, but got a great deal. Dealer said car had 235 hp which is okay with me i guess. The car is elegant on the outside as it is inside. The design is signature Volvo with a slight modern flair that makes people look twice. the enlarged name and logo really make a statement too. handles well, but not impressed. comfort is unrivaled! quiet engine.

  S80 - 2010 Volvo S80
  By RD - December 9 - 3:00 pm

  I have had the car a week know and overall Im very impressed. This being my 4th S80, they keep getting a bit better each year. Bought basically due to the comfort, reliability and safety. I have never had a breakdown in a Volvo - hope it continues. With the end of year incentives out there, this car is hard to beat for the value.

  Safety above Speed Reasonable MPG - 2010 Volvo S80
  By Johnston - April 13 - 1:06 am

  Considered the usual European competition before jumping into this one W/BlueTooth, BLIS and Xenons . After checking some Volvo Forums & Tire Rack.com I decided to ditch the OEM tires and go with Bridgestone Pole Position tires after 3k Miles. It made a world of difference in the ride and even though I have 17" wheels most people who have the 18" wheels complain their rides "harder" then mine !!! Love the ride now! Couldnt pry me out of it if you wanted me too. This is my second leased car, might have to keep it when the lease is up.

  My favorite car - 2010 Volvo S80
  By jm1955 - September 23 - 5:57 am

  My first Volvo was an XC90. While being serviced I was given a 2010 S80 loaner. I purchased one 3 months later. I had wanted the V8, but they were in short supply and being discontinued. The turbo was a great second choice. I have the sport suspension and most bells and whistles. Most comfortable seats I have ever sat in. All my passengers comment on the comfort, ride and appearance of the car. Great simple design cabin with easy controls. This car is fast! I rarely get beat off the line by all the higher end sports sedans. This car is a well kept secret. Ssshh! Dont tell many others, I like being different.

  Nice toy! - 2010 Volvo S80
  By clsintl - July 20 - 2:53 am

  I ordered this car overseas when I lived in Europe which means the color, Magic Blue and the Odysseus wheels are not offered in the US V8 model. I get quite a few thumbs up when I drive and quite a few smug looks from Mercedes drivers. The interior leather is beige leather with coffee dash which is a beautiful combination. The 650W Stereo is just as good as my home Bose system. Its well balanced with the help of an equalizer. I love the engine when it first fires up as it growls then settles down where its Quiet!

  Best of the three! - 2010 Volvo S80
  By brianluigi - July 7 - 4:32 pm

  i work with a us volvo dealer as a tech and i have to say the S80 with the V8 is my favorite! amazing design with the engine. today i reached 130 in seconds while taking a curve. this car deserves its rightful place next to any mercedes benz or audi. its classy, makes you feel like you own your city inside, and when you see a speeder you can pass them with ease. the only thing i dont like about this car is that its a little too quick. It makes me want to run from the cops when they try to pull me over for speeding.
