The Volvo 300 Series is a rear-wheel-drive small family car sold from 1976 to 1991, both as a hatchback and (from 1984) as a conventional notchback saloon. Designed by John de Vries
DAF needed to seak a partner to help develope the new model for the market, intending to call it a DAF77, and approached BMW, Audi and Volvo to no avail. Volvo who had originally been dissuaded by the costs involved, took a second look encouraged by a ready access to Renault engines which would drastically reduce the costs of new Volvo models and the benifits of producing cars in the Netherlands, giving them an open market to the EEC, of which Sweden was not a part. Volvo purchased a one-third share in DAF in 1973, increasing to a three-quarters stake in 1975; the DAF company's name was changed to Volvo Car BV that year.freeing DAF to concentrate on their truck division.
The 340 along with the larger engined 360, began as a three and five door Hatchback, with the Saloon added in 1983.
Featuring Renault engines of 1397cc (70-72bhp) and 1721cc (80bhp) in the 340. and 1986 (92-115bhp) engines in the 360 all matched to five speed gearboxes, with De Dion layout at the rear. This 2-litre 360 model was available in five-door and three-door hatchback form, with four-door "notchback" saloon models added in 1984. Trim levels were GL, GLE, or GLT, depending on output and specifications. .
