1985 Volvo 740 Turbo Wagon Test Drive

1985-Volvo-740Turbo2

Station wagons weren’t supposed to be exciting, but Volvo’s were. MotorWeek’s John Davis found out just how fast, road worthy, quiet and impeccably put together a wagon could be during their road test.

All Volvo’s were new four-door sedans or wagons; the two-door coupes were dropped for lack of interest.  With that said, not knowing you’re driving a wagon was the best thing about these 740/760s.  The 740 GLE with its 2.3-liter, four-cylinder, fuel-injected, 114-hp four started the lineup at just above  $19,000.  The intercooled turbo version of the 2.3 engine was rated at 160 hp and pegged the price of the 740 Turbo model at around $2k more.
