The Volvo 850, produced from 1992 to 1996, was a significant departure from Volvo's traditional design philosophy, ushering in a new era of front-wheel drive and transversely mounted engines for the Swedish manufacturer. Unlike the rear-wheel drive sedans and wagons that defined Volvo's heritage, the 850 embraced a more contemporary layout, targeting a wider audience with its blend of comfort, practicality, and performance. The 850, available in sedan, wagon, and later, a sporty "R" model, was powered by a range of five-cylinder engines, including a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter and 2.3-liter, as well as a turbocharged 2.3-liter variant. The innovative "whiteblock" engine family, known for its durability and smooth power delivery, became synonymous with Volvo's move towards front-wheel drive.

Beyond its mechanical prowess, the 850 presented a modern and refined interior, offering a comfortable cabin with advanced features for its time. The introduction of the innovative "SIPS" (Side Impact Protection System) reinforced Volvo's commitment to safety, which was a cornerstone of their brand identity. This system, employing an innovative side-impact intrusion bars and reinforced door construction, further enhanced the 850's safety credentials. The 850's design, with its sleek lines and distinctive grille, signaled a shift in Volvo's aesthetic direction, blending their traditional Scandinavian design principles with a more dynamic and contemporary appeal. The 850's launch was a significant moment in Volvo's history, marking the brand's successful transition into the modern automotive landscape, ultimately paving the way for the future of their product line.
