Volvo S80 (2013) Updates

Monday, 18 August 2014 01:07 PM In August 2014, Volvo recalled approximately 300 model year 2013 S80 sedans due to a flaw in the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) programming. This recall was necessary to ensure the TPMS system functioned correctly to alert drivers of underinflated tires. I think this recall highlights Volvos commitment to safety, even after the vehicles have been sold.

Saturday, 27 July 2013 01:41 AM For the 2013 model year, Volvo added several new standard features to the S80, including headlight washers, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a push-button start. These updates enhanced the vehicles convenience and safety features. I believe these additions made the S80 more appealing to buyers looking for a luxurious and safe driving experience.

Saturday, 01 June 2013 03:03 AM The 2013 Volvo S80 received top ratings in Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash tests, earning a Good rating for both frontal-offset and side collision protection. This underscores Volvos reputation for prioritizing safety in their vehicles. I think this is a significant selling point for anyone concerned about road safety.

Wednesday, 15 May 2013 01:29 PM Introduced in 2006 and updated in 2011, the 2013 Volvo S80 continued to offer a sensible and safe alternative to other luxury sedans. It featured a sedately attractive exterior and interior, along with advanced safety features like the City Safety system, which could detect and avoid collisions at speeds below 31 mph. This system was a standout in its class.

Wednesday, 10 April 2013 02:44 PM The 2013 Volvo S80 came in two main trim levels: the 3.2 and the T6. The 3.2 was powered by a 3.2-liter inline-6 engine producing 240 horsepower, while the T6 had a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 engine producing 300 horsepower. Both engines were paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. I think the T6s performance was quite impressive for its time.

Wednesday, 20 March 2013 06:31 PM Consumer Reports noted that the reliability of the 2013 Volvo S80 was based on extensive survey data and technical knowledge. The report highlighted potential trouble spots such as the engine, transmission, and electrical system, but overall, the S80 showed a reliable track record. I believe this reliability is crucial for long-term car ownership.

Monday, 25 February 2013 04:41 AM The 2013 Volvo S80 featured a range of advanced safety technologies, including a blind-spot monitor, lane-departure warning, and a driver-fatigue monitor. These features were designed to enhance driver safety and reduce the risk of accidents. I think these technologies were ahead of their time and set a high standard for safety.

Tuesday, 15 January 2013 06:24 AM In terms of fuel economy, the 2013 Volvo S80 3.2 achieved EPA estimates of 19 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined. The more powerful T6 model had slightly lower estimates at 18 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined. I believe these figures were reasonable for a luxury sedan of its time.

Monday, 10 December 2012 12:39 AM The 2013 Volvo S80 maintained its reputation for being a safe and luxurious vehicle, with features like leather seats, Bluetooth connectivity, and USB inputs. The vehicles understated design and value proposition made it an attractive option for those seeking a practical yet comfortable driving experience.

Tuesday, 20 November 2012 08:18 AM Volvo emphasized the S80s value by comparing it to other luxury sedans available with all-wheel drive. A fully loaded 2013 Volvo S80 T6 offered a competitive price tag for the amount of standard and available equipment it included. I think this made the S80 a compelling choice in the luxury sedan market.
