Designed for the driving enthusiast, the agile 850 GLT hides a radical new Volvo beneath its unmistakably Volvo lines.
The sporty sedan has a transversely-mounted, 2.4 liter five-cylinder engine and a unique, semi-independent rear
suspension. Its seemingly glued-to-the-road stability and crisp steering response bring a fun-to-drive quality to
Volvo’s first front-wheel-drive car. A long list of standards include driver’s and front passenger’s air bags, four-wheel
disc brakes with ABS, power driver’s seat, and separate climate controls for driver and front passenger. The new car
features four Volvo-patented systems.
