Volgens mij ook. GLE/GLT/GLS/DLS is gewoon een lettercombinatie, geen afkorting, die slaat op de uitrusting en/of motor.

mvg

Destijds had je een 343 DLS en GLS deze hadden een B19A motor waarvan de GLS de (Grand) luxere versie was.

Wipkedia heeft het over Special Equipment voor SE

SE modelsLater in 1991, Volvo offered a sedan and wagon badged the 740 SE, standing for Special Equipment. The 740 SE only came in three colors, red, black, and white and had a special factory color-keyed body kit including front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and a spoiler on the sedan. The 740 SEs, along with the 740 Turbo sedan, were subsequently discontinued for 1992. Mechanically the 740 SE was the same as a normal 740 Turbo but with many options such as a power sunroof and leather seats as standard equipment.

The SE badge was in fact one of the more confusing badges. In the US, the 940 SE was in fact a 960 Turbo with the four-cylinder B230FT engine, the 940 SE badge presumably chosen by Volvo in order to maintain the link between name and number of cylinders. In Sweden, the 940 SE was an ordinary non-turbo 940 with some optional extras as standard, most notably painted mirrors and bumpers. In the UK, the 940 SE was a 2-litre Turbo with some extras as standard aimed specifically at the company car market as 2-litre engines receive a tax benefit.
