What is the difference betwen the 850 turbo and the GLT?

How to go faster, stop quicker, and turn harder. Chips, exhaust, larger turbos, bigger/slotted/drilled rotors, high performance brake pads, manual boost controllers, performance shocks/struts/springs, airbox mods and more! Also discussion on HID and Xenon lights, aftermarket foglights and other exterior lighting.

What is the difference betwen the 850 turbo and the GLT?

Post by TheDrivenMan »

Hello,

I'm brand new to Volvos. Is GLT a trim level?

My car just has an 850 badge on the back, but it is a turbo with power, leather, sunroof, etc ...

Thanks

Robert

I know the GLT has a smaller turbo than the turbo models. I think mostly the rest of it is that the options aren't options, but standard trim.

GLT is a trim level.... It has a low pressure turbo from '97 on, but before that even if it said GLT, it had no turbo....at least here in the U.S. Hope that helped.

Just to add to MIJ's comments,

The GLT that came out in 93 only offered a non turbo... so the best way to check on this is the vin# and if you see 55.. its a non turbo in the 5 or 6th position of the vehicle identification number on all model cars!

Hope that helps!
