1982 Volvo 240 Series Brochure
In 1982, when the Japanese market discovered the 240 Series, it faced a different breed of competitors than in Europe. The Toyota Cressida and Nissan Laurel dominated the segment with more chrome and softer suspensions, yet Volvo's straightforward engineering—the 2.1-litre engine producing 112 hp—appealed to buyers seeking durability over fashion.
