It's too big and does not actually fit in the XC90. Something to do with the turbo's I think.
The next generation XC90 (2012) will most likely benefit from the twin turbo D5 (or better?!).

Of course with Volvo, I see in the XC60 manual that they do a separate screen blower heater as an option in some countries, which is probably far better again, so perhaps for countries that they deem need that type of accessory they just put that on the option list. With regard to the auto wipers, again in Ford they work better. When its on, it stays on even when the igintion is turned off, so wipers come on automatically when it starts to rain. The Volvo implementation, where you actually have to switch them on every time is a lot less useful. But I think we are start to move off topic here ! |

May be that we will get an updated satnav interface in the next release though (not that the current is bad , despite what others say!) |

Yes, they do. Ford wants to re-negotiate the sale price (according to Swedish media).

Dealer 'A' whom I ordered the XC60 Drive R design is certain I canot get the 2.4D any more and the D3 or D5 are the only diesels available for the XC60.
Dealer 'B' I spoke to yesterday said 'order from me now for a new car in August and I can get you a 2.4D engine'. (Huh ! dealer promises eh). Dealer 'C', I just came off the phone from, says dealer 'A' is right. The 2.4 is no longer available. He confirmed a (D3), 2.0D at 163BHP with 154 CO2 figures in the same (new) VED banding as the 2.4D will be in the Drive version. No Dealers have the vehicle specs as it seems they have yet to be produced, (along with the car). No MPG figures and no test drives either. By the time there is a car on the forecourt to test drive and 4-5 months order time, it could be nearly Xmas. I think I will look at 2nd hand ex demos again. They made so many promises of the best deal with a newby. At the moment, my order is still in for June delivery, but it is not the 2.4 and though I trust Volvo cars to get it right 99% of the time,I usually look for (customer) tried and tested models. |
