  Volvo 940 and 960 (1990 - 1998) (Classics Reviews)
  The Volvo 900-series was - in effect - a fairly major facelift of the outgoing 700-series. And rather in the fashion of the day, it employed the centre section of the old car (think Saab 9000CSE or Rover 800), but had far reaching chassis and powertrain changes. The 940 appeared in 1990

  Volvo 480ES and Turbo (1986 - 1995) (Classics Reviews)
  Volvo's first front-wheel drive car came as something of a surprise, considering the clever money was on a Golf-class challenger breaking the duck. But the 480's surprise launch and rakish design resulted in people seeing the once conservative carmaker in a completely different light

  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
• 
  Volvo 144 and 145 (1967 - 1974) (Classics Reviews)

  Volvo XC40 T5 2018 Road Test 22 Jun 2018 (roadtest)
  The Volvo XC40 T5 is so exceptionally pleasant it’s easy to understand why it was voted European Car of the Year. Now and again, a car comes together exactly right and, to Volvo’s credit, that it what it has done with the XC40. Quiet, easy to get on with, a doddle to drive, yet

  Volvo XC90 D5 2015 Road Test 26 Feb 2015 (roadtest)
  XC90 represents the start of a new chapter for Volvo. It's the first model made entirely by Volvo since the brand was sold by Ford in 2010.
