Volvo 940

The Volvo 940 is a Swedish passenger car made by Volvo Personvagnar, presented in 1990 and built until 1998. It was a further development of the 740 and kept that car's rear-wheel drive and much of its look, with a front taken from the facelift of the 760 for the 1988 model year. The sedan had a higher, rounder rear section than its predecessor, giving more luggage space and better aerodynamics, while the station wagon was close to the 740 and 760 wagons. The first model year, 1991, offered the GL, the GLT with the sixteen-valve B234F engine and the Turbo, and by 1998 the range was the S, the Turbo and the Classic. The car became known for being trouble free and reliable, and it found some success as a taxi and a police car. The more exclusive Volvo 960 was its six-cylinder sister.
