Model Year 2016 reveals new era for Volvo Cars
OREANDA-NEWS. Volvo Cars adds performance, efficiency, convenience and a breath of fresh air to the premium car market.
Starting in 2013, Volvo Cars began to roll-out its new generation of mid-powered four-cylinder based powertrains. 2015 will see the addition of a full range of high and low power 4-cylinder variants.
“This marks the start of a new era for Volvo Cars. We are humbled by the high level of attention and positive response that we have received with the introduction of our new Volvo Cars developed powertrain program. 2015 will see us adding several new power stages to our Drive-E line-up, offering a broad range of both efficiency and performance-enhancing refinements to our engines. Now, a 4-cylinder Swedish heart will beat in all new Volvo models. 2015 also sees the introduction of Volvo Cars’ no-compromise Twin Engine technology in the all-new XC90,” said Michael Fleiss, Vice President Powertrain at Volvo Cars.

One of the Model Year highlights is the addition of class-leading petrol and diesel engines to the XC90 as a part of the Drive-E powertrain roll-out. The 190 hp diesel comes in at just 139 g/km and a frugal 5.3 l/100km, while the 254 hp petrol engine delivers 7.5 l/100km and 174 g/km, making them clear leaders in the segment and confirming Volvo Cars’ commitment to offer a no compromise combination of both performance and efficiency, as also demonstrated in the XC90 T8 Twin Engine variant.
