Volvo 940

The Volvo 940

The Volvo 940 was a large executive car that embodied the Swedish manufacturer's reputation for building solid, dependable vehicles. Introduced as part of the 900 series in 1990, it was available in both saloon and estate variants, with the estate version becoming particularly popular in the UK market. The 940 was essentially a more affordable version of the 960, featuring a simpler rear suspension setup and more modest engine options.

In the UK, the 940 typically attracted upper-middle-class professionals and families who valued safety and practicality over flash and ostentation. The estate version, in particular, became a favorite among antique dealers, veterinarians, and middle-class families living in affluent suburbs. Volvo sold the 940 in Britain from 1990 until 1998, with an estimated 50,000-60,000 units finding homes in the UK market during its production run.

The 940 has become somewhat of a cult classic in British motoring history, particularly the estate version, which earned a reputation as the ultimate middle-class chariot of the 1990s. While it wasn't Volvo's most commercially successful model, it was notable for its incredible longevity and reliability, with many examples still running today with hundreds of thousands of miles on the clock. The car's squared-off design, legendary durability, and massive cargo capacity in estate form have made it a memorable part of 1990s British motoring culture.
