The Volvo 480 is a sporty shooting brake that was produced in Born, Netherlands, by Volvo from 1986 to 1995.
It was the first front-wheel drive car made by the automaker.
The 480 was available in only one body style on an automobile platform related to the Volvo 440/460 five door hatchback and four door sedan models.

It features an unusual four seat, three door hatchback body, somewhere between liftback and estate in form.
The 480 was marketed as a coupé in Europe starting in 1986.
The compact car was originally intended to be marketed in the United States as a 2+2 "sports wagon" in the fall 1987, although these plans were cancelled due to the continued weakness of the U.S. dollar during 1987.
