The interior shows a similar focus; the uncluttered cabin centers around a nine-inch-tall portrait-oriented touchscreen, held in place by a band of aluminum and flanked by wide expanses of open-pore walnut.

Celebrating 25 Years of Volvo Innovation with the Volvo 850 Series

The Volvo 850 GLT was brand-new in 1991, bursting on the scene with a five-cylinder transverse engine and an elevated new level of driving pleasure. The development of the Volvo 850 series came from a project entitled Project Galaxy—aptly named because it definitely reached for the stars.
