They are large and supportive, and covered in leather in all S80 models. A handy pull-out package partition in the trunk keeps loose items contained while there are storage nooks and cubbies throughout the cabin. A standard tilt and telescoping steering column, along with massive seat adjustments means almost anyone, big or small, will find a comfortable position behind the wheel. This power is more than adequate, given the S80 weighs a modest 3900 pounds. It uses dual overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder and electronic sequential-port fuel injection.
Acceleration is good, and passing power at freeway speed is above-average.
But with five aboard, we needed a heavy foot to squeeze passing power from the engine. That's when we wished for the T6 Turbo. Traction control, a system designed to limit wheelspin on slippery roads, is standard. The S80 rides on a unibody platform with front MacPherson strut suspension and a multilink rear setup. The overall feel it somewhat stiff, but well-controlled, tuned just right and very predictable.
