Facts about the model
Over the years, numerous variants and updates were introduced. When the new 740 model came out in 1984, many might have thought that the "old" 240 had reached its end. However, Volvo stepped up its game and continued to develop the 240.
Different engines, gasoline, diesel, and turbocharged, were added over time. The car was available in two, four, and five-door body styles. Various equipment variants offered sportiness and flair.
Certainly, there were more powerful cars on the market, but few could match the combination of simplicity, durability, quality, and safety found in the Volvo 240, making it a down-to-earth family car.
For the 1988 model year, the GL variant became the base model with the B230F engine featuring a catalytic converter and 116 hp. From the 1989 model year, customers could get the GL model with the GLE and GLT equipment packages.
In total, over 2.8 million Volvo 240 cars were produced, and even today, 30 years after the model was discontinued, we can still see them daily on the roads.
