The Volvo 850 was a series of compact executive sedans and wagons introduced for the 1992 model year. The 850 was fitted with a range of inline five engines and was available in front wheel drive or all wheel drive. The most notable 850 variants were the Turbo, the T-5R, and the R. The Volvo 850 was discontinued in 1997 when Volvo decided to split the 850 sedans and 850 wagons into separate models, with the sedans becoming the S70, and the wagons becoming the V70.
