If you haven't looked at a Volvo lately, you owe it to yourself to review the 2015 Volvo S80 in Phoenix. The new S80's sweeping lines, low profile and sculpted front end are sophisticated enough for imagining a winding mountain road. You're behind the wheel, possibly wearing a tuxedo. Step inside and the fantasy comes to life. You're surrounded by rich handcrafted leather upholstery beside uniquely contrasted wood grain and modern brushed metal accents. You use your Volvo Sensus Yelp app to locate the nearest gourmet restaurant and with your Bluetooth phone interface, you make a hands-free call to set up a meeting. All is peaceful and serene as you listen to your favorite music on the Harman Kardon sound system with virtually no road noise, no jostling and the most comfortable seat you've ever felt beneath you.

When the piercing sound of "What's that?" bursts forth from the built-in child seat behind you, the universe shivers a moment and reality intrudes. No tuxedo. You're on I-17 approaching the I-10 interchange headed for Sky Harbor. What doesn't change is that the music still soothes you, the ride is smooth as silk and Yelp has informed you of the distance to your exit. Your fully power-adjustable seat cradles your back as you look in the auto-dimming rearview and note the large package stowed neatly next to the child, tucked into the opening created by the split-fold rear seat. "It's a jet!" you intone excitedly. "That might be Mama's jet!" You're not headed to a gourmet restaurant, but your Volvo S80 makes your ride to the airport feel like an adventure rather than an errand.

A Phoenix reality: trips to Flagstaff involve a 6,000-foot climb. For that purpose, the 2015 Volvo S80's engine choices are solid with the S80 T5's new Drive-E technology, producing 240 horsepower in a smaller, lighter four-cylinder turbocharged direct-injection engine. Fuel consumption is greatly reduced. As you peruse the 2015 Volvo S80s for sale in Phoenix below, note EPA estimated mpg ratings on each model. Depending on your priorities, you may want to test drive the S80 T6 all-wheel-drive model powered by an in-line six-cylinder, 300-horsepower twin turbo. S80 Premier, Premier Plus and Platinum trims provide varying standard features, the least of which includes foglights, heated mirrors, keyless entry/ignition, dual-zone automatic climate control, full power accessories, leather upholstery, Bluetooth and infotainment display interface, satellite radio and an eight-speaker sound system. Beyond the standard safety systems, the S80 has plenty more to offer in terms of keeping you and your loved ones safe. The IIHS awarded the 2014 S80 a Top Safety Pick+ rating, and advanced proactive safety systems are available through the S80's technology package.
