The Volvo 850, a mid-size car produced by Volvo Cars from 1992 to 1997, marked a significant departure for the Swedish automaker.

This shift aimed to enhance the car's practicality and handling, offering a more engaging driving experience while maintaining Volvo's renowned safety standards. The 850 was launched with a range of four-cylinder gasoline engines, including a turbocharged variant known as the 850 Turbo, renowned for its impressive performance. Further contributing to its unique character, the 850 introduced the innovative "In-Line" five-cylinder engine, boasting a smooth and refined power delivery.

The interior was spacious and well-appointed, prioritizing comfort and functionality, offering ample room for passengers and cargo. The 850 also introduced groundbreaking safety features, including side airbags, a hallmark of Volvo's commitment to occupant protection. The car's combination of comfort, practicality, and performance proved popular with buyers, solidifying the 850 as a successful model for Volvo. Its legacy continues to be celebrated, notably the 850 T-5R, a performance-focused variant that embraced the car's dynamic capabilities, further solidifying the 850's role in Volvo's history.
