About the Volvo 260 Wheel Hub
Need a replacement Volvo 260 wheel hub assembly for your Volvo 264 sedan, 265 wagon, or 262C coupe? Part Nests sources OEM used wheel hub assemblies for classic Volvo 260 Series applications from 1974 through 1985. The Volvo 260 was the V6 variant of the Volvo 240 chassis – luxury 6-cylinder Volvo that took over the luxury flagship role from the discontinued Volvo 164 (see our 160 Series struts listing). Includes the mainstream 264 sedan, 265 wagon, and the rare Bertone-styled 262C coupe. Each wheel hub is inspected for bearing condition, mounting flange integrity, and wheel stud condition. Call (855) 634-4447 to verify year, body style, and axle position before ordering.
Volvo 260 Series Vehicle Context (1974-1985)
- Production era: 1974-1985 Sweden and international markets. Eleven-year production run overlapping the 240 Series production
- Volvo 240 chassis basis: The 260 Series shares the underlying chassis, suspension, and body architecture with the Volvo 240 Series – the same 20-year classic RWD Volvo platform. The 260 Series distinguishes itself with the PRV V6 engine, luxury interior appointments, and premium positioning
- Body styles: Volvo 264 (four-door sedan, most common 260 variant), Volvo 265 (five-door wagon / estate, luxury wagon offering), Volvo 262C (two-door coupe with Bertone body styling – rare collector variant)
- Luxury flagship role: Positioned as Volvo’s luxury flagship following the Volvo 164 discontinuation in 1975. Premium interior materials, additional trim and equipment, and V6 engine differentiated the 260 from the mainstream 240
- Discontinued 1985: Ended in 1985 as Volvo introduced the Volvo 760 Series (later 700 Series) as the new luxury flagship. The 240 Series continued until 1993 as Volvo’s mainstream RWD offering
PRV V6 – The Peugeot-Renault-Volvo Joint Venture V6
- PRV joint venture: The PRV V6 engine was the product of a joint venture between Peugeot, Renault, and Volvo formed in the 1970s to develop a shared V6 engine architecture. Each manufacturer used the V6 in their respective luxury vehicles
- PRV V6 specifications: 2.7L or 2.8L 60-degree V6 with single overhead cam per bank. Naturally aspirated producing about 125-155 HP depending on displacement, fuel system, and state of tune
- Vehicles using PRV V6: Volvo 260 Series (264 / 265 / 262C, this application), Peugeot 604 luxury sedan, Renault 30 luxury sedan, Renault Alpine A310 sports car, Renault Alpine GTA / A610, Delorean DMC-12 (Delorean stainless-steel sports car featured in Back to the Future films), and various other 1970s-1980s European luxury and sports vehicles
- Historical significance: The PRV V6 is one of the notable European joint-venture engines of the era, appearing in a diverse range of vehicles from Volvo luxury sedans to Delorean sports cars. Its inclusion in the Delorean DMC-12 gives it particular pop-culture recognition from the Back to the Future film series
Volvo 262C – The Bertone-Styled Coupe
- Bertone body styling: The Volvo 262C is a two-door coupe with body styling by the famous Italian design house Bertone. Distinctive lowered roofline vs the standard 264 sedan, giving it a unique aggressive coupe silhouette
- Chopped-roof design: The 262C’s roof is dramatically lower than the 264 sedan roof – a chopped-roof style that gives the 262C a distinctive appearance. Combined with the two-door coupe body, this made the 262C visually striking and unlike any other Volvo of the era
- Limited production: Produced in small numbers (approximately 6,600 units total from 1977-1981). The 262C’s rarity and unique styling give it collector vehicle status today
- Grand tourer positioning: Positioned as a luxury grand tourer combining the Volvo 240 / 260 platform reliability with premium interior appointments and Bertone’s distinctive Italian styling. Appealed to buyers seeking a Volvo with more distinctive aesthetics

- Volvo 262C coupe wheel hubs: Front and rear wheel hub applications for the two-door Bertone coupe. Similar to 264 sedan applications
- Cross-references with 240 chassis: Many wheel hub applications cross-reference between 240 and 260 chassis due to shared chassis architecture. Verify configuration when ordering
