The 1995-1996 Volvo 850 is a mid-size car that marked a significant evolution in Volvo's design and engineering. It was the first Volvo model to feature a transversely mounted front-wheel drive powertrain, a departure from the traditional longitudinal engine and rear-wheel drive setup. This shift allowed for a more spacious interior, particularly in the rear passenger area. The 850 was available in various body styles, including a sedan, wagon (called the 850R), and a sporty coupe variant (850 T-5R). Under the hood, the 850 was equipped with a range of powerful five-cylinder engines, including a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated unit and a turbocharged 2.3-liter option. The turbocharged engine offered impressive performance, making the 850 a surprisingly quick and enjoyable car to drive.

Beyond its mechanical innovations, the 1995-1996 Volvo 850 was also praised for its stylish exterior and well-appointed interior. The car's distinctive design elements included a sloping hood, a prominent grille, and large, wraparound headlights. Inside, the 850 featured a comfortable and functional cabin with high-quality materials and a well-designed instrument panel. Safety was a top priority for Volvo, and the 850 was equipped with a comprehensive range of safety features, including anti-lock brakes (ABS), driver and passenger airbags, and side impact protection. The 1995-1996 Volvo 850 combined Scandinavian practicality with sporty driving dynamics, making it a popular choice for families and driving enthusiasts alike. Its durable construction and innovative features ensured its lasting legacy as a reliable and enjoyable car.
