thats what happens when you entertain PSA engines, although the 2.0D is PSA and isnt bad to be fair

Car magazine 2015
And the last reason I’m liking the V40 is the engine. The D2 model has a 1.6-litre 113bhp four-cylinder diesel (the D3 and D4 versions get 2.0-litre five-cylinder diesels). That’s not the kind of engine you’d normally get excited about, but it’s so much stronger than the figures suggest. It’s brisk, quiet, refined, and best of all I’m getting 50mpg. Fifty! I’ve never got 50mpg out of any car – ever – before. Admittedly Volvo reckons the car can achieve 78mpg (combined), so I’m still lousy compared to the claimed figure – but I don’t care. Every other driver on earth is in the same"""

You don’t think that’s anything to do with there being about 15 of them on the road for every D5 in that platform?
