Volvo’s Best Kept Secret, Their New 4-cylinder Diesel Engines
It will never come to Malaysia in the near future as its demands the latest and very best of diesel fuel which we lack here in Malaysia. Volvo asserts that when the V60, V70 and S80 DRIVe models are equipped with the new automatic gearbox and Volvo’s latest four-cylinder 1.6-litre turbodiesel engine that will return 62.8mpg and 119g/km. It claims that the S60 that has the same transmission offers 65.7mpg and 114g/km on the combined cycle.
Volvo engineers made several technological enhancements so that it can attain the same economy and emissions figures as the manual-equipped DRIVe range. Volvo was able to reduce the friction between gearbox components. It also modified the software that manages the engine and gearbox. This stop-start system was tweaked to cut the diesel engine when the car moves slower than 3mph. Its electrical systems were optimized to generate lower energy consumption.
