The Volvo 850 is a mid-size car that was produced by the Swedish automaker Volvo Cars from 1991 to 1997. It was the first Volvo to feature a transversely mounted inline-five cylinder engine, front-wheel drive, and a multi-link rear suspension. The 850 was also notable for its innovative safety features, including side airbags and a driver's side airbag that was standard equipment from the start. The 850 was the first Volvo with a "one-touch" electric windows, which could be lowered or raised by simply holding the button down. This feature was not available on other Volvo models at the time, like the Volvo 240, 440, 740, and 940 series. The 850 was a significant departure from the traditional Volvo design and helped to establish the company as a leader in the premium car market.

The Volvo 850 was available in a variety of body styles, including a sedan, wagon, and a sporty coupe variant called the 850R. The 850 sedan and wagon were well-received by critics and consumers alike, praised for their comfortable ride, spacious interior, and strong performance. The 850R was a highly desirable performance model that featured a more powerful engine, a sport-tuned suspension, and a more aggressive appearance. The 850 was redesigned in 1997 and became known as the S70 and V70, with the R-model continuing as the S70R and V70R. The Volvo 850 was a successful model for Volvo and helped to establish the company's reputation for building safe, reliable, and stylish cars. The 850 was a key model in Volvo's transition from a traditional, conservative automaker to a more modern and sporty brand. It was also a pioneer in the development of safety features, which have become increasingly important in the automotive industry since its introduction.
