In August 1974, Volvo presented a new generation of cars in the 200 Series called the 240 and 260 Series. These new models had been developed from the 140 series and were very similar to their predecessors. The changes included a new front, large bumpers and a redeveloped chassis, featuring a front-wheel suspension system of the McPherson type. With the introduction of the 240 family, a new 4-cylinder engine series with an overhead camshaft was also presented. The previous 4-cylinder was still used during a transitional period for basic versions of the 240-series. Like the Volvo 244, the 245 could also be ordered for a short period with a V6 engine. The market's first 6-cylinder diesel in a passenger car made its appearance in the autumn of 1978 - in the Volvo 240. This was a successful alternative in certain markets where diesel fuel plays an important role.
