The Volvo 850 is a compact executive car that was produced by the Swedish manufacturer Volvo Cars from 199] until 1996. Designed by Jan Wilsgaard, the car was introduced in a saloon body style; an estate style was introduced in 1993. The Volvo 850 was shown for the first time in June 1991, and the car marked a departure for Volvo, featuring multiple unprecedented features for the company; these included a transverse 5-cylinder engine driving the front wheels,[12] a Delta-link rear axle, a side impact protection system, and a self-adjusting front seat belt mechanism.[6] The Volvo 850 was succeeded by the Volvo S70 and Volvo V70. Models Development of what would become the 800 series first began in 1978. The so-called Project Galaxy[13] ultimately resulted in the Volvo 850, the smaller 400 series, new manufacturing technologies as well as the Volvo Modular engine and M Gearbox lines. When development had finished, Volvo had spent the highest sum in the history of the country on an industrial project in Sweden.[14][15] 850 The Volvo 850 was introduced in Europe in June 1991,[16] as a 1992 model year car. It was launched with the slogan "A dynamic car with four unique innovations"[17] which referred to the newly developed five cylinder transverse engine, the Delta-link rear axle,[18] the Side Impact Protection System (SIPS),[19] and the self-adjusting seatbelt reel for the front seats.[15][20] Initially, only the saloon was available,[17] badged as 850 GLT, and came with a choice of or 20V engines.[21] In 1992, the 850 was brought to the United States as a 1993 model, becoming Volvo's first front-wheel drive (FWD) car on the market. A wide variety of Volvo 850 models were sold, with the first-generation models produced between 1993 and 1994. These included a CNG-powered Bi-Fuel model and a diesel-engined 850 badged as 850 TDI.
