The beautiful scenery along the Gold Coast befits touring in the striking new Volvo S80 T6. Fine refinement, a luxurious interior and a powerful engine make the S80 T6 a gem to drive.

The chassis is sparkling – which is amazing for a car as big and as roomy as the S80 sedan. Plenty of grip backed up by sensational brakes and a level ride ensure the Volvo S80 T6 makes short work of cornering and tackling undulating roads. Slow traffic can be left far behind with copious levels of power on demand. Volvo has taken the standard 2.9 litre petrol engine and aligned two small turbochargers onto the engine block. The turbo engine exudes a very healthy 200 kW at 5400 rpm. The prodigious 380 Nm of torque is accessible from as low as just 2000 rpm. Punchy and vigourous, the Volvo S80 T6 is also very relaxed thanks to the very slick four-speed automatic transmission which boasts a Geartronic feature that allows for manual shifting if the driver desires.

A premium level of equipment onboard makes for great touring comfort. Leather seats that pamper the body and support the lower back are as good as they get. As an affordable optional extra, you can even heat the rear seats! A superior Electronic Climate Control unit tames the hot Australian climate and makes it as cool as you like. An auxiliary power outlet, cup-holders, heated outside mirrors, electrically folded head restraints, a class leading Bluetooth hands free communications system, a high performance sound system with eight speakers, steering wheel audio controls – and the list keeps on going. With Volvo’s new generation DVD-based RSE dual screen, the rear seat passengers can enjoy a film or play a game – together or separately. Adding a digital TV receiver, passengers can also watch TV broadcasts while travelling. Two 8-inch windscreen displays are integrated in the front seat head restraints and provide excellent image quality. Wireless headphones keep things calm in the cabin and you can listen to the music or program of your choice. Via an AUX input, you can also connect external devices such as an iPod®, MP3 player, extra DVD player or a digital camera. The RSE system is an integrated part of the car. It matches the interior perfectly and is available with all upholsteries. Quite gob-smacking luxury, headspinning build quality, and sensational materials make the Volvo S80 a leader in its class.

Volvos are safe. Enough said. That’s what they’re famous for, and the Volvo S80 T6 is no exception.
