D4 to D5?

[V50sport]

Does anyone know if there will be a polestar upgrade in the future

My dealer says no. Otherwise no one will buy a D5.

the usual numbering system is: -
D2 (1.6 8v)
D3 (2.0 between 136-163)
D4 (2.0 again normally - virtually the same as the D3 minus software)
D5 (2.4 with around 205)

now add the confusing elements in:-

the XC60 gets a D4 AWD which is 2.4, if only FWD the D4 is only 2.0, the D5 will only be FWD. (it changes every so slightly every model year from what i have seen)

to add further confusion the V60 has in MY2013: -
a D3 (with 136), D4 (163) and D5 FWD and D5 AWD both of which are 2.4.

if you go back to MY2012 though to add more confusion: -
there was no D4. so you had the D3 with 163 and the two D5's but the D5 actually had lower emissions enough to be a group lower in FWD format.

Really what volvo should do is badge the XC60 2.4 AWD as a D5 AWD it would make far more logical sense.

Our D5 XC60 is AWD.

I'm even more confused now!

I was looking at upgrading my 2.4D S60 ( 2006), i really like the 5 cylinder grunt so i was looking at what to replace it with. It appears that there is a 2.0l 5 cylinder option that would still have some grunt yet be more efficient? is this a D4 or D3?

But how do i identify this?

What i would ideally want is the detunded version of either the 2.4D or 5 cylinder 2.0l and i would then get it remapped at shark. As my current s60 was transformed post remap

Just reserved a 2013 XC60 D4 AWD and with interest want to know the main difference between the 2.4 D4 and D5 engines. Only going for the D4 since it has more options that I wanted than the D5 I originally was going for. Both cars in Rebel Blue.
Could do with knowing whether it simply is a detuned D5 and whether a Polestar upgrade is now available for the D4.

Thanks in advance

Bought the D4 and can confirm that I had a polestar optimised upgrade for the 2.4 5 cylinder engine 😍
