The Volvo 850 - the car belonging to the class of mid-size. This Swedish car has become very popular in the 90s. by the Way, it was produced from 1991 to 1997. And during this time has been released a lot of sedans and wagons (the other body was not made). The design of the model worked Yang Wilsgaard. And this is the last car designed during the times when he was the chief designer of the concern.
So, the first instance of Volvo 850 was introduced in 1991, 11 APR. The premiere took place later – in September of the same year, in Frankfurt. This car is front-wheel drive sedan of D-class, released on change “Volvo 240". This model is at that time produced 18 consecutive years. Because the firm needed a new.
And it worked. In General, I must admit, the Volvo 850 had fundamental differences from all the other machines that have produced concern. In design it is possible to notice a departure from the traditional angles. This car, by the way, started getting rid of "cubic" forms. Even increased level of manageability and agility. Novelty can boast several technical innovations. First – located transverse 5-cylinder engine. Second – front-wheel drive. Third – steering rear axle, kombinirovannaya yourself the comfort of independent suspension and dynamics. The fourth innovation – system of protection against side impact. And finally, the fifth – the seat belts feature pre-tensioners.

Interestingly, Volvo 850 was the most advanced vehicle from all that has made this Swedish company. Development had spent about 15 billion (!) crowns. And this model was the most expensive project that only worked on Volvo Cars.
The Developers have created an entirely new car platform and have developed a special production technology. In addition, the Board built a separate plant for the production of powertrains. I wonder what he and to this day develops and supplies motors for machines Volvo. The engines, incidentally, differ a modular structure. Their development and design worked highly skilled professionals. By the way, all work was conducted in the framework of the project Galaxy.
In General, from the point of view of technological innovation no other machine was not so important and significant for Volvo Cars as the 850-I.
Volvo 850 – the wagon and sedan, which were at the time of the 90-ies of the fast and modern cars. It was then the Swedish producers, have proven that they are able to develop and produce powerful machines, respecting traditional for their company values.
The Machine was wide and comfortable armchairs, equipped with electric headrests. The steering column made a safe and adjustable in all directions. The staff there was even a children's folding seat. And the car had a 4 window. Even the headlight washers were.
By the Way, the model is quite good (for a sedan) trunk volume – as many as 415 litres.
The Volvo 850 reviews have been positive. It was at a decent level. But the first thing is always marked with attention to design. Because in the process of its development has used the latest technology! Brought to the maximum the number of robotic installations, and used an automatic build system for measurements. Welding and cutting of steel is also carried out by different – with the help of laser. The technical structure is also simplified and reorganized. Each point of the Assembly is automated. All operations that were previously carried higher than the shoulder level of the collector ceased to exist.
Great attention is paid to developers of security. The 850 has airbags (front and side). In each model equipped with ABS.
The 850 has proved very popular. Because in 1992 the world saw a Volvo 850 GLE. It differed from its predecessor motor. In GLT, a series 850-x, installed 5-cylinder 170-horsepower 2.5-liter engine with 20 valves. The novelty of 1992 put a similar unit. Only valve 10 and power – 140 HP
In 1993, the attention of motorists was provided by the wagon, which became known as the Volvo 850 Wagon. Was very practical and spacious model, which is control and “behavior” on the road in no way inferior to the sedan. What is telling about this car is its owners? Nothing wrong with that. What can you say negative about the dynamic and fast car, which Luggage compartment is almost one and a half thousand liters of volume? Plus good suspension and engines. Everything in this car as it should be – these are the words of its owners.
That Summer of 1993, the group released a turbocharged engine, which immediately began to set on the Volvo 850. The engine had a volume of 2.3 liters and produces 225 “horse”. But in 1994, the world appeared the most powerful version of the “Volvo". A car with 250-horsepower (!) engine – it quickly became a Swedish bestseller. Maximum speed was 250 kilometers per hour, andhundreds of it were dispersed in 6.7 seconds! Indicators are just incredible. No wonder why this car was so quickly sold out. By the way, just released 5000 pieces.
In 1995, the lineup of engines, a 2.5-liter “gasoline”. This gladdened the lovers of cars "Volvo". The car itself is economical, and the diesel engine.
In 1996 during the France premiere of the new coupe – C70. Interestingly, this car was built on an exclusive platform 850 x "Volvo". By the way, on the same basis, produced a machine that worked not only on gasoline but also on methane. All thanks to a special dual fuel system.
In 1996 came the wagon, which became known as the 850 AWD. The legendary forefather of four-wheel drive "Volvo", equipped with a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine 193 “horse”. He also quickly gained popularity, which is not surprising.
And finally, a few words about what to tell the owners of this car on my iron horse. Really bad reviews about the model no. But a good – enough. Yes, there is one problem – in case of failure Volvo 850 repair machine is called, will cost a pretty penny. In service it is not cheap, but pays in response reliability. But it's worth it.
Handling – at a level of comfort – too. Many people like original, eye-catching design. Even inside is very spacious and comfortable. However, the oil consumes a lot – often have to change. But the rest of the car reliable. No wonder it has become the best of all the models "Volvo" and the early 2000s.
Now, by the way, this car can be bought for very little money. For example, the car of 1994 of release in the normal state (that is, sat down and went) will cost about 120-150 thousand rubles. There are options cheaper – the very first model, there is price one hundred thousand do not reach. Main – to check the machine a HUNDRED prior to purchase. If only the bat was not there.
