Of the less powerful brother of the D6 Twin Engine, only 500 copies were built. There would be 200 come to the Netherlands, that there are now 300.

In fact, the Volvo V60 D5 Twin Engine is nothing else than a D6 Twin Engine (formerly known as D6 Plug In Hybrid) with the five cylinder diesel engine is reduced, and less power. Instead of 220 hp, squeezes the D5 163 hp. Because the electric powertrain is exactly equal, decreases the system power, consequently, of 280 hp to 230 hp.

For consumption makes the nothing, the D5 lust like the D6 1.8-litre of diesel per 100 kilometres, though we have here (not realistic) fabriekscijfers. Also for the price, it does not seem to make, the D5 Twin Engine and D6 Twin Engine, both with a starting price of 59.995 euros in the price list.

Why you than for the D5 would you choose? Because of this in 500 pieces limited edition, and much richer equipped than the entry level of the V60 D6. So you get standard 19-inch alloy, piaolak on the dash and leather upholstery, things that you on the V60 D6 Peak of just over 60,000 mille considerably for have to pay.

For the plug-in crazy the Netherlands were in the first instance, 200 of the 500 copies voorbestemt, but the colleagues of Autovisie know to report that due to the large demand of 300 copies this way. A large part of this extra one hundred cars is already sold, but there are still a number of cars do not ‘forgive’.
