Volvo to add new and revised engines to their range

The new engine is a five-cylinder 2.0-litre turbo diesel which replaces the existing 2.4-litre diesel and will be available throughout Volvo's range of cars, in three versions. In the S80, V70, XC70 and XC60, the unit will produce 163bhp and 400Nm of torque, and will be labelled the D3.

In the C30, S40, V50 and C70 models, the new engine will be available with two different guises, with the D3 version producing 150bhp and 350Nm of torque, and the D4 variant churning out 177bhp and 400Nm of torque. All versions of the new 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine come with either six-speed automatic transmission or a six-speed manual gearbox.

Volvo has also upgraded two of its petrol engines, with the 3.0-litre six-cylinder turbocharged T6 unit now producing 304bhp and 440Nm of torque, and the 3.2-litre six-cylinder naturally-aspirated engine now featuring an improved crankshaft and less internal friction and now puts out 243bhp and 320Nm of torque.
