1996 Volvo 960 Review

So good that Volvo's willing to bet on it.
Interior
Within its tastefully familiar--and nicely finished--exterior, the 960 shelters an

interior that's as warm, gracious and comfortable as an upscale Scandinavian home.

It's truly easy to enter this luxury cabin, where you'd find a squarish dashboard

inlaid with rich walnut panels, a thoughtful control layout and good driver sightlines

all around.

The nicely-contoured seats--always a strong point with Volvos--have tailored leather

surfaces, and the steering wheel is also leather-wrapped. Other standard

comfort/convenience features include automatic climate control, power everything, a

premium AM/FM/CD/cassette sound system, power front seats with 8-way adjustability and

a memory feature, cruise control and--yes!--cupholders.

Safety features? Of course. This is a Volvo. In addition to the front and side

airbags, the 960's seatbelts feature adjustable upper anchors with lockable inertia

reels, an integrated child safety seat--standard on the wagon, optional on the

sedan--and child safety rear door locks.

Although this is a thoroughly equipped vehicle as is, there are five different

option packages available, ranging from $395 to $1485. You can also delete the leather

upholstery and walnut trim if you choose. Our test vehicle had everything you can add

to a 960. We particularly appreciated the $485 Cold Weather Package, which includes

heated front seats and an outside temperature gauge. Next Page
