P80 Platform The Volvo P80 Platform was the foundation (chassis, electronics, etc) upon which all of Volvo’s 1992+ front-wheel- and all-wheel-drive models were based on. Models included the 850 up to 1997 (its last year) and S70, V70, XC70 (V70-XC), C70 models up to year 2000. See a P2 vs. P80 vs. P3 photo.

From MVS glossary list.
Hope that helps you.
