It features an unusual four-seat, three-door body, somewhere between hatchback and estate format.

Volvo took six years from the time the 480 was conceived, through its development and finally brought to production in 1986.

The 480 was the first Volvo of its style since the P1800ES and the last until the unveiling of the C30.
