The Volvo 850 was a mid-size sedan produced from 1991 to 1996, notable for being the first Volvo with a front-wheel drive platform and a five-cylinder engine. It was offered in both sedan and wagon versions, and was popular among families and professionals.
In 1992, the Volvo 850 Sedan came with three engine options: a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder (118 hp), a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated six-cylinder (143 hp), and a 2.0-liter turbocharged five-cylinder (200 hp). All engines were paired with a five-speed manual transmission, with an automatic transmission available as an option.
The 850 Sedan was praised for its safety, comfort, and handling, as well as its spacious interior and family-friendly features. However, some critics noted that its interior design was less stylish compared to competitors and that the ride could be stiff. Despite these criticisms, the 1992 Volvo 850 Sedan was considered a well-rounded and good value vehicle, appealing to both families and professionals.
