The Volvo 850 was a significant milestone in the Swedish automaker's history, marking a departure from their traditional boxy designs and ushering in a new era of sleek, aerodynamic automobiles. Introduced in 1992, the 850 was the first Volvo to feature a transversely mounted engine and front-wheel drive, a revolutionary change for the brand known for its longitudinal engines and rear-wheel drive layout. This change allowed for a more spacious interior and a lower centre of gravity, resulting in a sportier driving experience and improved handling. The 850 was available in various body styles, including a sedan, wagon (known as the 850 Estate), and a sporty coupe variant named the 850 T-5R.

Under the hood, the 850 offered a range of powerful engines, including the renowned 2.0-liter turbocharged five-cylinder engine, which became synonymous with Volvo performance. The 850 also featured a sophisticated safety system, including side-impact airbags, a feature that was uncommon at the time. The 850's success was not only attributed to its innovative design and advanced technology but also to its enduring reputation for quality, reliability, and safety. The model helped solidify Volvo's position as a leading manufacturer of safe and dependable vehicles, and its legacy continues to inspire the brand's design and engineering advancements today.
