V60 2018

vman99 · Jan 1st, 2019, 16:00

Hi Everbody,
This is my first post although I have been reading through some of the forum since joining.

I have never had a Volvo, but am thinking of getting the current model V60 D4 Momentum Pro and would welcome any advice/comments from people who may have one.

I see this diesel engine has the same capacity as the previous model and wondered if it is the same engine and also who makes it?

My daily ride is a Honda Accord idtec estate 2.2 diesel EX, with all the bells and whistles fitted as standard. Unfortunatly no longer available in the UK.

Cheers, Pete.

Hi Pete

My V60 is the previous model, so I can't give much advice on the later car. All diesels now use the Volvo Engine Architecture (VEA) 2L, 4-cylinder engine in a variety of power outputs...

I also went from a diesel Accord to my current diesel Volvo because of the non-availabilty in the UK of a 9th gen Accord.

Snap.
I have recently changed my Honda CR-V EX 2.2i DTEC for a new Volvo V60 D4 Momentum Pro. I was looking forward to getting a new CR-V, but Honda is no longer producing a diesel engine for the CR-V.

I have added a number of options to my V60 that brought the price up to just over £39,000. It's a nice car to drive and the engine has a lot of grunt- far more than my CR-V. It is very low and not so easy to enter or alight from. The seats are very comfortable. I have had it just on five weeks so I can't comment on fuel consumption just yet as I haven't done a huge mileage. I am still not accustomed to all of the technology which will take a bit of getting used to.

This is the spec I have, MY19 Momentum Pro...

Love it, massive difference from my V40 and in fact the older V60. D4 is a lovely engine, loads of oomph and torque. The auto box is a bit naff though compared to the power plant, but you get used to it.

I am 4000 miles in and still loving it...

Hi All,

Thanks for your replies.

I will start reading the posts on the Sub Forum that MCV60 gave me the link to.

It takes a little time to find ones way around a new Forum.

Cheers, Pete.
