Volvo 780 Engines and Transmissions

Each Volvo 780 engine here is a 2.3-litre gasoline unit driving the rear wheels, a classic layout that spreads weight evenly and feels composed on the motorway. You choose the transmission: the 2.3 AT automatic suits relaxed touring, while the 2.3 MT manual gives you more direct control of the powertrain.
