May 3, 2011 - PRLog -- The new 2012 Volvo S80 gets updated with Volvo’s revolutionary Sensus system. This system brings together navigation, car functions and entertainment center in one display screen. The driver can control all the functions via knobs and controls on the steering wheel. Additional systems which can be controlled include the Driver Alert System, Blind Spot System and Pedestrian Detection.  

The engine for the base model is a six cylinder 3.2 Liter with 240 hp which can be upgraded to a 3.0 Liter engine with 300 hp and 325 lb feet of torque.  Gas mileage for the 3.2 engine stands at 19 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the freeway. The vehicle can be driven in both manual and automatic mode.

The interior is comfortable and contemporary. Outstanding features include comfortable seating, well thought out layout and easy to read instrument gauges. Cargo space is a bit on the small side at  14.9 cubic feet. Standard features include electronic climate control, power front seats, cruise control and illuminated vanity mirrors.

Volvo engineers have included tons of safety mechanisms such as daytime running lights, side positioning lights, head restraints for all passengers, a LATCH system for child safety and a side impact protection system for all occupants. The S80 was also awarded the distinction being named a “Top Safety Pick” but the IIHS.

New buyers receive a 4 year/60k mile warranty. In addition service is also covered for up to thirty six thousand miles or the first three years. This is a great perk since luxury cars are generally notoriously expensive in order to maintain.

Pricing for the S80 is modest for its class, MSRP for the base model starts at around forty thousand dollars which is very competitive in the luxury sedan market.
