The Volvo 850 is a compact executive car that the Swedish maker Volvo Cars produced from 1991 until 1997, first as a sedan and from 1993 as an estate. Styled by Jan Wilsgaard, it came out of Project Galaxy, which also produced the smaller 400 Series, and it was the most costly industrial project in Swedish history at that time. It was Volvo's first front-wheel-drive car on the United States market and broke with tradition through a transverse five-cylinder engine, the Delta-link rear axle that steers slightly under load, the Side Impact Protection System and self-adjusting front seat belts. Variants included a diesel 850 TDI and a compressed natural gas bi-fuel model. The S70 and V70 succeeded it.
