Volvo S80 AWD

315 Bhp & 440 Nm

A very under-rated car this one. Not many were sold due to its boxy design. However, when it was launched back in 2007, it was the only sedan in that segment to offer a V8 petrol and an AWD option. The engine, a massive 4.4 liter V8 produced 315 Bhp & 440 Nm. The car offered great luxury and was pretty quick. We found a few examples ranging from 10 – 20 lakhs.

Volvo XC90 V8 AWD

311 Bhp & 440 Nm

Yet another understated car on the list. The car we are talking about is the previous generation version(launched in 2007) which was never well received in India. Where people abroad loved the versatility of the XC90, this was a feature that people in India didn’t really care much about. The car looked boxy and wasn’t flashy enough. The XC90 also had the same 4.4 liter V8 producing 311 Bhp & 440 Nm. We found an example priced at Rs 12 lakhs.
