Volvo S80 Review

Used Value4 out of 5

Out of the S80 range the 2.0 D has the best residuals.

After three years and the usual 36,000 miles it retains between 44-46% of its value. To put this figure into perspective, the equivalent BMW holds onto 54-55% of its original list price, proving there's still much work to do to bolster S80 values to match its strong German competition.
