The 700 series was introduced in 1982, followed in 1990 by the 900 series. The 700, designed by Jan Wilsgaard, was originally to have been a replacement for the 200 series, but production of that model continued. ntroduced in early 1984 (in the U.S. an Australia for the 1985 model year), the 740 was the lower-end version of the Volvo 760. The 740 was intended to be a mid-size car that offered more style, performance, and luxury than the 200 series. The '4' in the model name had once signified a four-cylinder engine, but by the time of the introduction of the 740 it simply meant less luxurious equipment as four- and six- cylinder engines were fitted across the range. the 740 was available as a 4-door sedan (sometimes referred to as the 744) and a 5-door station wagon (also known as the 745).
