The changes abound with the flagship sedan of the always-impressive Volvo fleet. Most noteworthy of them all is the introduction of a new all-wheel drive 2.5T model. It features the same Haldex multi-plate clutch found on the Volvo S60 AWD and the XC70. The result is the security of on-demand power to either the front or rear wheels.

Also new to the 2004 Volvo S80 is the availability of the Volvo FOUR-C chassis. It is an option on all but the base model. FOUR-C provides two chassis-tuning two modes, which can be accessed from a single switch on the center console. The default mode is Comfort, providing optimal ride quality. Pushing the button selects the Sport mode for a slightly sportier ride with reduced body roll and rebound.

When you add up all the changes, you can easily see for yourself that 2004 will be a good year for the S80 sedan.
