A quick look at the suspension finds MacPherson struts in front and an axle with trailing arms in back, the usual Volvo stuff. But in fact there are many minor revisions. Positive camber has been reduced to zero from 0.8 degree in front, and caster has been increased to 5.0 from 3.5 degrees, which should give the front tires more cornering bite and more feel in the steering. Alloy wheels with greater offset reduce the scrub radius to 28 mm from 37 mm.
Notable in the rear are a pair of axle-stabilizing torque links that attach to a huge bracket that, in turn, is rubber-isolated from the body. This is designed to improve ride without sacrificing control of the axle. There are also height-leveling shock absorbers. How does all this reengineering feel to the driver? Fine. No problems. The 760 still acts like a Volvo, although it's a bit crisper in the steering. And body-roll angles seem better managed. But this newest of Volvos is no Ford in the ride department. It's decidedly direct in the way it transmits chuckholes, expansion strips, and individual pebbles to the seat of your pants. Real U.S.
Any plushness that you feel will be a product of the interior. Very likely, you will not be disappointed. Leather has a way of winning over almost everyone, and the 760's broad horizontal pleats give it a sumptuous appearance . The front seats are typically Volvo, with adjustments for backrest angle, height, and lumbar stiffness. The cushions are somewhat softer and less supportive than those of the old GLE, which are as good as car seats come. Some of us liked the new seats less.
The 760's rear seats are magnificent by any standard. They are extremely high-chair-height without a doubt and remarkably firm. The fact that the gas tank and rear suspension are right underneath has a lot to do with this. Nonetheless, though you are positioned high, where you can see forward over the driver's shoulder, you still have plenty of head and knee room even if you're a six-footer.
