XC90 D3 advertised on Volvo UK website

XC60Monkey · Apr 19th, 2011, 08:16

I was browsing the Volvo UK website and it looks like they are bringing the non-AWD D3 model to the uk for the MY12 range. See http://www.volvocars.com/uk/all-cars...ical-spec.aspx

The engine is specified as the D5244T5 which appears to be a second generation D5 with 340Nm of torque that was introduced in 2005, although slightly tweaked with reduced stroke down to 77mm. I wonder how a car as big as the XC90 will pull with this engine?

The pricing hasn't been updated yet, but I assume it will be significantly cheaper without the 4WD machinery. The mpg figures look like l/km which haven't been converted properly, although appear broadly similar to the 200ps D5.

Just had a look at the website in the link and the max speed looks a bit optimistic at 190, 205, 210 mph?

It doesn't seem right - mpg figures are well out as well - maybe a glitch in the webpage or it's in litres rather than gallons?

If you go onto the configurator - you can only buy a new XC90 with the 200 D5 engine - No 3.2 or D3

I think the data's been translated but not converted - the fuel consumption is l/km and the top speeds are kmh (I think) etc etc

On the XC90 for 2012 there is No change from MY11; the D5 AWD 200hp Geartronic remains the only engine/gearbox combination available .

We're getting the D3 over here in Ireland strangely enough. I've already seen a few new ones advertised.

strange land is ireland , you got the 1.6 diesel 340 too , 55 bhp ! on the other hand you were first with the 2 litre 340 in the original type bodyshell .

Alternatively you could buy an 02-06 pre-facelifted 163bhp XC90 with failed rear drive for a fraction of the price (without the 6-speed Geartronic) but similar driving dynamics I expect!!!!

tis true. Saw an 11-D XC90 drive by me the other evening and I have to say, it looked very smart. €51,995 I believe. I seem to remember us testing the XC90 back in 03 and what was it, €63k?

Just noticed that the MY12 pricelist is now on the Volvo UK website.

On first glance it looks like no changes apart from prices up about £300 from the January (post VAT rise) pricelist.

Why bother with a RHD D3 for Ireland, and not offer it in the UK?
