Yes the new 1969cc VEA engine is going in the XC90 in various states of tune, with the first ones being D5 1969cc 225bhp.
According to Volvo the V70 D3 1969cc is indeed listed as being Euro 6 compliant (as it is the new engine) as is the old D5 (2400cc) in all other models, including XC70 and now being 220bhp. There currently isn't a new D2 designation (V70), although maybe there will be? The older D4 AWD XC70 (2400cc) engine is still Euro 5. If they have made the old D5 (2400cc) Euro 6, wonder why they didn’t with the old D4 (2400cc) as it is fundamentally the same engine. Suppose because the old D4 is an 'also ran engine' sales wise now,whereas the old D5 still has a bit of life left?
All new Volvo models will be the 1969cc in various states of tune, bar the autos in some models (s/v60/v40) being sub 1500cc.

You always have a tendency to be tricky VR. My point about the D4 was not incorrect as it is a new engine* (D4 = 969cc, the other
current V70 engines are the 1560cc D2, the 1984cc-D3, and the 2400cc-D5) - I have taken the info directly from the current Volvo brochure (model year 2015). I simply chose not to go into a huge amount of detail about the new engine as the thread is ostensibly about Adblue/Euro 6.
You are the one that is incorrect and misleading, NONE of the MY2015 engines in the V70 (bar the D4) are Euro 6 compliant - they are all Euro 5.
*in the current engine line up (in the V70 range) it is a power descriptor as well as denoting the new Euro 6 engine.
Adblue, the other thread points out quite clearly that it is a brand name, albeit a trademark for a DEF.
