It may look similar to the previous model, but the 2007 Volvo S80 is all new on the outside. The new S80 features a much larger grille opening, a sporty bumper and under-grille treatment, larger headlamps, a domed hood, a whole new rear end treatment with larger taillamps and a sportier bumper, a redesigned roof that works better in the wind tunnel, and body sides that are free of moldings.

While the overall length is the same as last year's car, the 2007 S80 is taller and wider. It also rides on a longer wheelbase and wider front and rear track, which yields more interior space, especially in the rear seat, and less overhang for improved stability. The new S80 sports a drag coefficient of only 0.29, among the very best in the class.
