The Volvo 740 and 760 were mid-size cars produced by the Swedish automaker Volvo Cars from 1982 to 1992. They were the successors to the Volvo 240 series, and were offered in a variety of body styles including a 4-door sedan, 5-door wagon, and a 2-door coupe. The 740 and 760 were among the first Volvos to be built on a transverse engine layout, marking a significant departure from the company's established longitudinal engine configuration. This new platform was designed for a more efficient use of space and resulted in a more spacious interior than its predecessor. Moreover, the 740 and 760 were renowned for their robust construction, safety features, and overall durability, further solidifying Volvo's reputation for producing well-built and reliable vehicles.

Under the hood, the 740 and 760 were available with a range of petrol and diesel engines. The four-cylinder petrol engines included the 2.0-litre B200 and 2.3-litre B230, while the more powerful turbocharged B230FT and B230ET engines were also offered. A 2.8-litre V6 engine was also available, along with a 2.4-litre diesel engine. The 740 and 760 were notable for their smooth and refined driving experience, despite their relatively simple technology compared to other contemporary cars. The cars were also equipped with various standard features, including power steering, disc brakes on all four wheels, and a fully independent suspension system. Their design was characterized by clean lines and a boxy shape that emphasized functionality and practicality. The 740 and 760 remain popular vehicles for enthusiasts today, particularly for their reliability, ruggedness, and unique Scandinavian style.
