Back in 1982, Volvo had already set the Volvo 700 Series as replacement for the venerable Volvo 200 series, although the latter was selling very well. Fortunately, the 200 Series continued its success; in fact it lasted until 1993, nearly two decades after its launching. The Volvo 700 Series, on the other hand, carried on as a different line of Volvo cars. The 200 and the 700 Series became two of the strongest selling Volvo cars for many years, giving due credit to Volvo as a reliable and dependable auto maker.
Volvo 760 was the first of the 700 Series unveiled by Volvo in Europe. Just as the earlier 200 series, it boasted excellent safety features, in addition to its respectable performance and great styling. Three years after its debut in 1982, a new 700 Series was introduced, the Volvo 740. This was a less option version of the Volvo 760 model; nevertheless, it offered more admirable style, performance and luxury than what the 240 Series afforded.
The Volvo 740 models were offered in four-door sedan and five-door wagon. The two versions were known internally as the 744 and 745 models, respectively. The designations “744” and “755” were based on Volvo’s former numbering/ naming system, which follows the format “Series + Cylinders + Doors.” This naming system was mostly used by engineers and Volvo enthusiasts.
In 1992, the production of Volvo 740 cars ended to give way to a new line of cars, the Volvo 940. However, the Volvo 740 cars did not die completely. This is because the Volvo 740 cars were just redesigned and launched as a 940 model. Its engine, transmission, chassis and other powertrain and drivetrain components remained in the Volvo 940 autos. Although it has been more than a decade now since the last Volvo 704 models rolled off the assembly line, most of them are still on the road today. Thanks to its robust construction and tough engines that kept it going through the years.
