2016 Volvo XC90 Gains an All 4-Cylinder Engine Lineup


According to the Swedish carmaker, the all-new Volvo XC90 will be the cleanest powerful SUV in the world. Thanks to a newly-developed Twin Engine technology, the range-topping model will emit just 60 grams of CO2 per kilometer, despite having a powertrain producing 400hp and 640 Nm (472 lb-ft) of torque.

The all-wheel drive, seven-seat SUV will offer a top of the range plug-in hybrid model which will carry the T8 badge and will combine a 2.0-liter four-cylinder supercharged and turbocharged Drive-E petrol engine powering the front wheels and an 80 hp (60 kW) electric motor driving the rear wheels. Combined output stands at an impressive 400hp and 640 Nm (472 lb-ft) of torque.

Furthermore, the supercharger fills in the bottom end of the power range to give the engine a big, naturally-aspirated feel, while the turbocharger kicks in when the airflow builds up. The electric motor on the rear wheels provides immediate torque. However, at the push of a button the driver can switch to quiet and emission-free city driving on pure electric power, with a range of around 40 km.

This car model lineup will consist of other four-cylinder petrol and diesel Drive-E engines as well, consisting of the D5 twin turbo diesel engine with 225hp and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque which returns 6 l/100 km (39.2 mpg US), as well as the D4 turbo diesel engine with 190 hp and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque which averages around 5 l/100 km (47 mpg US).

This car maker is also going to offer two petrol engines, a T6 turbo engine with supercharger and turbo with 320 hp and a maximum torque of 400 Nm (295 lb-ft), and a T5 with 254 hp and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque of course.
