Diesel delivers engine boost for Volvo range

The Volvo range has been further enhanced with a range of new engine additions and enhancements for the 2011 Model Year update.
These new engines include the addition of a new two-litre five cylinder diesel powerplant which is introduced to the XC60 and XC70 models and replaces the familiar four-cylinder 136 PS unit in the C30, S40, V50, C70, V70 and S80.
All new engines are available to order now.
The new five-cylinder 2.0D diesel is, in principle, the same engine as the well-established 2.4-litre diesel, but its displacement has been reduced with a shorter stroke to optimise fuel consumption.
The latest diesel engine is now available to order in all cars across the range apart from the Volvo XC90 seven-seat SUV.
