XC60 - D3 vs D4 ?
Hello All,
Just a quick question.. can anyone tell me the difference between a D3 and a D4 as far as an XC60 is concerned ? I'm off to look at a D3 ( Registered 2012 - 163hp ) tonight.. but the new ones seem to be D4 specced. Many Thanks, > Guy |

I thought D3 was the 2litre znd the D4 the 2.4 litre. Both 5-cylinder motors. It's hard keeping up with Volvo model changes.

Many Thanks Westyman,
Next Question... how can i tell if the XC60 I'm going to look at is AWD or not ? None of the specifications on the Volvo Dealership Website tell me. Thanks Again |

you must remember the terms D2 D3 D4 D5 are now NOT engines but Power ranges ... This isnt correct but something like: D2 = 100 - 120 bhp D3 = 150 -170 bhp D5 180-220 bhp If you can get anything with a D4 in in the S40/V50/C30/C70 range of two years ago it is a cracking 177bhp engine in my opinion, better than the D5 ..

I would hazard a guess that a peer underneath to see if there's a prop shaft and diff at the back would see if it's AWD?

... and goes like nothing else! Had a V50 D4 auto as a rental not long ago in Sweden and it was a rocket on wheels!

I've also seen a D3 for sale which seems attractive and I too wondered about the differences. This link tells you more.

AFAIK (Certainly in C30s) the D3 and D4 were both 2.0 5 pots, just at different BHP Levels.
Personally, I'd just find a D5

The 3/4/5 only refer now to the power output position in the chart. A D2 isn't always a 4 cylinder (at least it isn't planned like that) and a D4 isn't always a 2.0l.
