Volvo S80
There isn’t much difference between this year’s S80 and last year’s. The 3.2 trim has a 3.2L 6-cylinder that develops 240 horsepower and 236 lbs.-ft. of torque. The T6 has all-wheel drive and another inline-6, but this one is a 3.0L that produces 300 horsepower and 325 lbs.-ft of torque thanks to the wonders of turbocharging.
