The Finest in Design and Aesthetics: Volvo 850 for Sale

The Volvo 850 is a compact executive car, which was produced between 1991 and 1996. In five years of production, the car was equipped with multiple advanced features that made the cars distinct vehicles in their class. If you want to buy a pre-owned Volvo 850 for sale, eBay can help you get a reasonable price.

Types of Volvo 850 vehicles

More than five models were produced; however, the Volvo 850 can be categorised into three main types, all available on eBay. These are the Standard Volvo 850, Volvo 850 T5R, and Volvo 850R.

  • Standard Volvo 850: The original design was introduced in 1991, which incorporated the five-speed transverse engine, the Delta-link rear axle, side-impact system, and self-adjusting front seat belts. All of these unique features are not available in early Volvo models and most contemporary vehicles. In 1994, a major facelift was introduced that mainly focused on offering interior luxury. Similarly, the 1995 model is the first mass-produced car in the world that included side airbags.
  • Volvo 850 T5-R: The Volvo 850 T5R for sale is a turbocharged model that can accelerate to 100km/h in less than six seconds and can achieve speeds of nearly 244km/h. Front bumper lip, rear spoilers, aluminium door sills, leather, black interior, designer seats, and hordes of luxury features are available in Volvo T5R models.
  • Volvo 850 R: A used Volvo 850r for sale will likely feature bucket-style sports front seats. Just like the Volvo 850 T5-R model, this was also produced as a high-performance model that included a lot of interior luxuries. It was marketed as a successor to the Volvo 850 T5-R.
What types of engines are used in each model?

The standard model uses either Siemens Fenix 5.2 or Bosch versions depending on the model year. The most powerful of these can generate 168hp reaching 100km/h in 8.9 seconds. A T5 or T5r Model has Bosch Motronic 4.3 that can generate 207hp reaching 100km/h in only 6.9 seconds on a manual transmission. Similarly, the Volvo 850 R is equipped with Bosch Motronic 4.3 or 4.4 that can do 100km/h in 6.7 seconds.

The all-wheel-drive Volvo 850

Sometimes classified as the fourth type of Volvo 850, the company introduced the Volvo 850 R estate for sale as a 1997 model. This is a powerful car that uses the advanced Bosch Motronic 4.4 to generate 190hp. Visual features include the front and rear mudflaps, the exhaust exiting, dual outlets, and 4WD badging. These models were produced in the last production run for limited markets, but a large number of used vehicles are readily available in the secondary markets.
