Starting with the 140 series in 1968, Volvo used a three-number system for its cars. The first number was the series; the second number indicated the number of cylinders and the third digit the number of doors; so a Volvo 164 had a six-cylinder engine and four doors. There were exceptions: the 760 often was equipped with a turbocharged inline-four engine and the Volvo 360 only had four cylinders.
Today, the company uses a system of letters denoting body style followed by the series number. Although not official, it is fairly accepted that S stands for sedan, C stands for coupe or convertible and V stands for versatile, used strictly for the station wagon line. XC stands for cross country, originally added to the V70 model to become the XC70, sister to the XC90. From Does Your Car's Name Mean Something? How to Decode Import Car Model Names

Theoretically following the nomenclature from earlier models 7 is the series, 4 is the number of cylinders and 5 the number of doors so a saloon would be a 744 (though of course both 740 and 760 could be had with the 6 cylinder diesel and they were never badged as anything other than 740 regardless of number of doors :P the system was used fairly strictly in the 100 and early 200 series but by 700 and the later 200s they'd stopped using it so strictly. Presumably it made the range a bit easier to understand.
