Those who like the 240’s taut lines were delighted when Volvo introduced the series 700, in 1982. This large family car was first released as the 760, with V6 engines. Later, Volvo launched the 740 with 4-cylinder blocks. In 1985, the estate joined the range. The career of the series 700 continued in 1992 when it was restyled and renamed 940 and 960, and lasted until 1998.
