Volvo S80 DRIVe

Road Tests | about 1 year ago

Volvo’s biggest saloon car now comes with their least powerful diesel engine in a bid to be as fuel economical as possible and we want to know if such a small motor ruins what should be a luxury vehicle. So to find out, Jonny tests it against something truly luxurious – a £700,000, 1800bhp yacht fitted with a two of Volvo most powerful diesel engines.

Volvo S80 DRIVe is tagged with fifth, gear, fifthgear, 5th, jonny, smith, Volvo, Penta, s80, drive, driv, e, driving, roadtest, road, test, boat, boats, yacht, yachts and luxury. Select a tag (fifth, for example) to find everything on FiveFWD about the subject.
