The Volvo 740 and 760 were mid-size executive cars produced by the Swedish automaker Volvo Cars between 1984 and 1992. They were the successors to the Volvo 240 series, and were initially offered in two distinct body styles: a 4-door sedan and a 5-door station wagon, with the latter being known as the 740/760 "Estate". The 740 and 760 were part of Volvo's "Series 700" line of cars, which also included the 780, a sporty coupe based on the 760. Both vehicles were notable for their boxy, angular styling that reflected the design trends of the 1980s. While conservative in appearance, they were highly acclaimed for their sturdy construction, safety features, and robust engines. The 740 was initially powered by a range of four-cylinder engines, while the 760 was equipped with larger six-cylinder units.

The Volvo 740 and 760 were popular in Europe and North America, especially with discerning drivers who valued longevity, safety, and practicality. Though the 740 was known for its durable and economical four-cylinder engines, the 760 was appreciated for its more powerful and refined six-cylinder powertrains. Both vehicles offered a high level of comfort and refinement for their time, with features like leather upholstery, heated seats, and power windows and locks. The Volvo 740 and 760 were updated throughout their production run, receiving enhancements to their styling, powertrains, and interior. Their legacy remains strong, as these cars are still highly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors today, appreciated for their robust construction, classic design, and Swedish engineering excellence.
