1986 Volvo 740 GLE Wagon Test Drive
Station wagons weren’t supposed to be exciting, but Volvo’s were. Even 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.
