They're all 4-cyclinder D4s! Except for a very lovely looking D5; someone mistakenly clicked the Soft Beige option

As for the electric heated seats, no worries, I already knew where they were, they're very important

Probably a bit late but that button releases the rear headrests so they flop down.

I have no idea why it would be used from the drivers seat!

For annoying passengers; press this button

Just my two pennies worth. My last V70 was a D5, as is my current XC60 and the engines are just amazing! Yes they do grunt but it's a lovely grunt. I had my last one nearly 6 years and never once had to top up the oil and not a single breakdown. It's a tried and tested engine!

I agree! I'll be sticking to the tried and tested 5-cylinder engines, so either a pre-2014 D3/D4/D5, or a post-2014 D5.

Also, I didn't realise the D5 has 2 turbos

215bhp one's do but I'm not 100% sure if all P3 D5's do. Someone more knowledgeable will know

205hp onwards were the bi-turbo engines. So that's approx 2010 onwards, i.e. cars with the bigger badge on the grille and new steering wheel with smaller airbag. At this point there were quite a few modifications all over the car.

Previous 185hp were single variable vane turbo (2007 - 2010)

One good reason, because it won't heat up in the sun. I'd never have black leather again for that reason!

To get better visibility when reversing….
