The focus of the All New Volvo XC90’s powertrains is a lightweight design, performance, efficiency and a

great driving experience. At the heart of this strategy is our range of aluminum four-cylinder engines that

actually offer performance equivalent to six and even eight-cylinder power plants – our range-topping engine

features not only a supercharger for superb low-rev throttle response, but also a turbocharger that keeps the

engine punching hard at higher revs. All of this is delivered with lower fuel consumption and emissions.

The characteristics of our new engines include:

- Compact 4-cylinder design

- Lightweight, contributing to lower fuel consumption,

better driving dynamics and more agile cornering

- Balancer shafts for smooth and vibration free

running

- Turbocharging for better performance

- Direct injection with high pressure

- Variable valve timing contributing to higher

performance and instant throttle response
