The last evolution of the Volvo 1800 was introduced for the 1972 model year. The 1800ES was a radical change from previous Volvo 1800 cars, as it was no longer a notchback coupe, but was now offered as a sleek "sports estate." For 1972, the 1800E and 1800ES were both offered, but in 1973, only the 1800ES was available. Power came from a 2.0L inline four engine, with drive going to the rear wheels. Production of the Volvo 1800ES ended in 1973, bringing an end to the Volvo 1800.
