Volvo 760 GLE Saloon

Own a Volvo 760 GLE saloon? We look at everything from well-kept examples to tired cars and long-stored projects, with body condition, specification and history all considered.

Volvo 760 GLE saloon

The Volvo 760 GLE saloon arrived in 1982 as Volvo’s upmarket 700 Series model. Its square four-door body, spacious cabin and long-distance refinement separated it from the later 740. Depending on year and market, the 760 range included six-cylinder petrol, turbocharged four-cylinder and turbo diesel engines.

The 1987 revisions are particularly important when identifying a car. Volvo substantially changed the front styling and introduced independent multi-link rear suspension to the 760 saloon. Earlier and later cars therefore have meaningful mechanical and visual differences.
