The Volvo 850 is a compact executive car that was produced by the Swedish manufacturer Volvo Cars from 1991[11] until 1996.[11] Designed by Jan Wilsgaard, the car was introduced in a saloon body style; an estate style was introduced in 1993.

The Volvo 850 was shown for the first time in June 1991, and the car marked a departure for Volvo, featuring multiple unprecedented features for the company; these included a transverse 5-cylinder engine driving the front wheels,[12] a Delta-link rear axle, a side impact protection system, and a self-adjusting front seat belt mechanism.[6]

The Volvo 850 was succeeded by the Volvo S70 and Volvo V70.
