PERFORMANCE

In a Volvo, power train and chassis interact to strike the perfect balance between excitement

and stability. And to further enhance the experience, additional technologies are available.

PERFORMANCE Chassis

T5 All-wheel drive

The advanced Haldex

AWD technology helps increase driving stability and traction on all road surfaces.

It has an electronic management system that constantly monitors the speed of the wheels, the throttle,

engine torque, engine speed and the brakes. As driving conditions change, wheels with the best grip get

the most power. When a tire loses traction, power is reduced to that wheel and instantly transferred to

the more sure-footed wheels.

Five-speed Geartronic automatic transmission*

For the best of two worlds, there’s the five-speed

Geartronic – a responsive automatic that’s ideal for

relaxed driving, tough conditions or towing. This also

allows manual gear shifting so you can maintain a

lower gear to bring up the revs or for the added

assistance of engine braking. A special winter setting

makes it easier to move off and maintain grip on

slippery surfaces.

* Optional on T5 AWD
