And in so doing, Volvo six cylinder out of the door. However, there are a few strong 20%-bijtellers.
For the benzinestokers they have in Sweden a tweeliter block developed. The four-cylinder is the old T5 (Ford’s 2.0 EcoBoost) and T6 replaced. If you are a new Volvo T5 badge order, does that mean that there’s a 245 horsepower turbocharged engine under the hood. If you order a T6, then assembles the notes next to the turbo is also a supercharger. The four-cylinder engine delivers 306 hp.
Dieselende leaserijders can look forward to a new D4. The new variant is a 2.0 twin turbo. With 181 hp, a pretty potent block, and almost as fast as the current D5. In the V60 and S60 good for a 20% tax liability. In a V70, or S80, you just need to then do a manual order. Volvo has therefore the strongest diesel in the 20% bijtellingsklasse.
On the duration of the Volvo VEA-motorenpalet expand. The brand tells us that we are on benzinegebied engines from 140 to 306 horsepower can be expected. Dieselaars can in the long term, choose a motor with 120 to 230 hp.
We fear that we the sound of the five – and six-cylinder miss. Can this downsize-blocks namely not against it. However, promises by Volvo that the new engines are a “dynamic equity” than blocks with one or two cylinders more. The consumption would be 10 to 30 percent lower than the current engines. In addition, both the diesel and petrol is already prepared for the application of an electric motor.
The diesel engine is equipped with the so called i-Art technology. That comes down to the fact that it is possible to control the amount of fuel per verbrandingslag accurately measure and arrange. In combination with a high injection pressure of 2500 bar is that low consumption figures provide. Volvo has a high hat on, and even speaks of a dieselrevolutie. After their own lambda sensor this would be the second breakthrough should be in the field of diesel engines.
To complete the picture to make out the handsome heads of Volvo, but also immediately with a new machine. The achttrapstransmissie is standard on the T5 and T6. For the D4 is also an improved manual gearbox available.
From the autumn we can have the DRIVE-E viercilinders massively going to order. The new D4 and T5 are available in the S60, V60, XC60, V70 and XC70. The T6 only for now in the S60, V60 and XC60. The BMW 320d EDE can be inpakken…de S60 and V60 D4 are stronger and sprint faster to the 100.
