  • Volvo S80 D5 2007 Road Test 12 Dec 2006 (roadtest)
    It used to be called ‘Carriage Trade’. Now ‘Private Hire’. Those Middle Eastern guys in sharp suits, sunglasses and E220 CDIs who show up to take you to a TV studio. I wondered what they would think of the new Volvo S80 D5. It’s a big
  • Volvo 850 and T5/T5R (1992 - 1997) (Classics Reviews)
    When it arrived in 1991, the Volvo 850 was a game-changer for its maker - even if it didn't look like one. It marked a turning point for Volvo, because it finally saw that most conservative of Swedish carmakers fully embrace front-wheel drive - 10 years after most of the opposition
  • Volvo 120/130 Amazon (1955 - 1970) (Classics Reviews)
    Known in the UK - by enthusiasts - as the Amazon, the Volvo P120-Series still looks refreshingly modern today, although it was clearly a pastiche of the Chrysler 300. It was the car that broke Volvo into the UK market, and won many friends, thanks to being strong and reliable. The model

  • Volvo V40 Cross Country D2 Road Test 5 Feb 2013 (roadtest)
    Over the past few years Volvo has been calling its tougher, off-road all-wheel drive models 'XC' with the XC90 the most popular.  So why is the V40 version called Cross Country rather than XC40? Because despite chunky styling and an increased ride height, it’s really a regular
  • Volvo P1800, S, E and ES (1961 - 1973) (Classics Reviews)
    The P1800 was a radical departure for Volvo. The conservative manufacturer of solid, well-engineered saloons took a stab at the coupe market - and did it very well indeed. It was the product of a project that actually started in 1957 when Volvo wanted a slice of the emerging US sportscar market
