Volvo XC60 - expected in November 2008

One petrol V6 and two five cylinder diesels available at launch

The new XC60 will initially be available with the six-cylinder turbocharged T6 engine producing 285 horsepower and two five-cylinder turbodiesels: the D5 producing 185 and the 2.4D with 163 horsepower. All Wheel Drive (AWD) with Instant Traction is fitted as standard on all variants.

The engines in the new Volvo XC60 are mated to a six-speed gearbox, either manual or automatic with Geartronic. The transmission has been dimensioned to handle the immense output of the T6 and Volvo’s powerful diesel engines. Sixth gear is a pure overdrive ratio and offers relaxed, economical cruising.
