These new models had been developed from the 140 series and were very similar to their predecessors. The changes included a new front, large bumpers and a redeveloped chassis, featuring a front-wheel suspension system of the McPherson type. With the introduction of the 240 family, a new 4-cylinder engine series with an overhead camshaft was also presented. The previous 4-cylinder was still used during a transitional period for basic versions of the 240-series. Like the Volvo 244, the 245 could also be ordered for a short period with a V6 engine. The market's first 6-cylinder diesel in a passenger car made its appearance in the autumn of 1978 - in the Volvo 240. This was a successful alternative in certain markets where diesel fuel plays an important role. More information to follow.
