  Volvo XC70 (2007 - 2016) (Reviews)
  According to Volvo, more of its XC70 models are driven off-road than the larger XC90. The V70 estate based four-wheel drive car with raised body height has proved a real success for the Swedish firm, especially in its home market where snow and ice are an everyday hazard.

  Volvo C30 (2006 - 2009) (Reviews)
  With its simple glass rear hatch, it harks back to the 480ES of the 1980s, and the P1800ES before that. Volvo C30 2006 Road Test

  Volvo C70 (2006 - 2010) (Reviews)

  Volvo S80 (2006 - 2016) (Reviews)
  The front-wheel drive revolution at Volvo continued with the arrival of the S80 executive saloon, which consigned the rear-drive 900 Series models to the history books. In one sweep, Volvo also put itself firmly into the mainstream of the executive class too.

  And both the 170bhp 2.4i and 220bhp T5 automatics behaved impeccably. Volvo S40 2003 Road Test

  Volvo V50 (2004 - 2012) (Reviews)
  It's attractive from all angles; beautiful at the front, neat at the side and butch at the back. Volvo V50 2004 Road Test

  Volvo XC90 (2002 - 2015) (Reviews)
  There are lots of jacked-up, Jeep-like 4x4s that carry their passengers half a metre higher, and cannot quite manage to defy gravitational forces on corners. And now there is the Volvo XC90, which is essentially a jacked-up estate car. If you're looking for the newer version, you need our Volvo XC90 review .

  Volvo 164 (1968 - 1975) (Classics Reviews)
  The cars started with 145bhp, but that rose to 175bhp when fuel injection arrived in 1971. Only available as a four-door saloon - it never occurred to Volvo at the time that affluent estate car owners wanted their cars to be kitted out just as extravagently than their saloons. That would all change. Join the club Formed in 1962, the  Volvo Owners' Club  has 3000 members.

  Volvo P1900 (1956 - 1957) (Classics Reviews)
  The first cars were delivered in 1956 but only 44 were built that year. The Just 23 cars were added the next year before Volvo pulled the plug on what had finally become known as the P1900. Join the club Formed in 1962, the  Volvo Owners' Club  has 3000 members.
• 
  Volvo V70/S70 (1996 - 2000) (Classics Reviews)
  Launched in 1996 to replace the 850, the S70 and V70 were Volvo's take on the executive car. Both versions were esentially redesigned 850s but proved reasonably popular with owners. Volvo reckoned 1800 changes were made, but the most noticeable was the softer-edge styling.
• 
  Volvo 940 and 960 (1990 - 1998) (Classics Reviews)
  Few would have guessed it at the time, but these cars would end up being the last rear-wheel-drive cars from Volvo. Saloons on the endangered list, but estates holding up well... Join the club Formed in 1962, the  Volvo Owners' Club  has 3000 members.
• 
  Volvo 440 and 460 (1987 - 1997) (Classics Reviews)
  This was a five-door family car that shared its technology with the 480 sports coupé. Volvo now demonstrated in earnest that front-wheel drive was the way forward. Work on what later became the Volvo 440 began back in 1978. This was a new project that would lead the company to the Volvo cars of the future.
• 
  Volvo 480ES and Turbo (1986 - 1995) (Classics Reviews)
  Renault-based 1721cc and 1998cc engines featured with around 100bhp and there was a turbocharged version from 1989 for more grunt (170bhp). An oddball in Volvo's history (some could call it the 'anti-Volvo'), but one that's popular enough to have seen the a spiritual successor launched in the shape of the C30.

• 
  Volvo 740 and 760 (1982 - 1992) (Classics Reviews)
  The more reasonably priced version soon picked up useful sales in the 2.0-litre executive car market. Both cars were offered with the capacious estate car body, which maintained Volvo's market leadership in the large estate car sector. Tough and reliable, the 700-series as capable of huge mileages thanks to great build quality, and the survival rate is exceptionally high.

  Volvo 260-Series (1974 - 1980) (Classics Reviews)
  Even less attempt was made by Volvo to stylistically separate the four- and six-cylinder Volvo 200s, compared with the 144 and 164. Effectively the buyer who bought the six-cylinder car had an extra splash of chrome and and slightly larger grille (later adopted for the four cylinder car) to outwardly show for his extra money's investment.
• 
  Volvo 144 and 145 (1967 - 1974) (Classics Reviews)
  Volvo presented a new square-rigged style for the 1970s - and proved to be a market pioneer in delivering the message that safety sells. The 140-Series was the first in a long line of Volvos that didn't just feature all the latest safety kit on its cars, but celebrate it.
• 
  Volvo PV444/PV544 (1943 - 1966) (Classics Reviews)
  The PV444 was Volvo's first car to be exported in any significant numbers - as just like in the UK, Swedish indistry pushed to earn as much as it could in foreign markets. It was an interesting and modern car - it was Volvo's first uni-body car, and the first four-cylinder car produced by the company for almost 20 years.
