The Volvo 850, launched in 1992, marked a significant departure from Volvo's traditional boxy design language, ushering in a new era of sleek and aerodynamic automobiles. While the 850 retained the brand's renowned reputation for safety and durability, it presented a sportier and more contemporary aesthetic. A key innovation was its transversely mounted five-cylinder engine, a departure from Volvo's traditional longitudinal layout, which provided both superior power and improved interior space. Available in sedan, wagon, and later, a sporty coupe variant, the 850 offered diverse options for discerning drivers. Its advanced features included anti-lock brakes (ABS), driver and passenger airbags, and a unique, innovative self-adjusting rear suspension system known as the "Dynamic Track System" which aimed to enhance handling and stability.

The 1992-1996 production years saw the 850 evolve from its initial launch to encompass a broader range of models and refinements. Early versions featured a 2.0-liter and 2.3-liter naturally aspirated engines, while later years witnessed the introduction of a turbocharged 2.3-liter engine that further bolstered performance. The 850 also saw the introduction of a five-speed manual gearbox as well as a four-speed automatic transmission. The 850's success went beyond its innovative design and technology, as it achieved widespread popularity for its blend of comfort, practicality, and safety, solidifying its place as a classic Volvo model and a symbol of the brand's transition into a new era of automotive design.
