The New S80 with Innovative Options

Zahid Tractor launches the second generation Volvo S80 at the Modern Sweden Exhibition held at Serafi Mall in Jeddah.

"We are delighted to launch the All New Volvo S80. It reflects the Swedish high standards of design, quality, and safety" said Alain Sykora - Deputy Director of Zahid Tractor-Automotive division.

Sykora added that "The new Volvo S80 is a car with I.Q as it is equipped with state of the art, highly innovative, technologically advanced features that offer premium driving experience."

The new Volvo S80 is available in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with the choice of three engines. The top of the line offers a V8 Engine with an output of 315 HP with standard   All Wheel Drive (AWD) power train with six speed transmission. The 3.2 L engine and 2.5 L complete the new S80 range.

As synonymous with Volvo, the new S80 features world class safety including Adaptive Cruise Control with Collision Warning and Brake Support, ensuring total control of the driver at any driving condition. The Adaptive Cruise Control automatically maintains a selected distance to the vehicle in front, enabling the car to slow down depending on the distance of the car in front. If the gap to the vehicle in front closes so fast that a collision is likely, the system alerts the driver by activating a buzzer and warning lights. At the same time, braking system starts working allowing the Driver to have total control at the shortest time possible, making braking very effective.

In addition to safety and new design features, the new S80 enhances the driving experience through comfortable Cool ventilation seats and Top class premium sound system.

All new Volvo S80 comes standard with three years/unlimited km warranty and is now available for test drive at Zahid Tractor showrooms in the Kingdom. To further enhance customer satisfaction, Zahid Tractor provides competitive service and maintenance contracts to all Volvo customers for a trouble free and economical motoring.
