Is the Lynk & Co 09 engine the same as Volvo's?

Lynk & Co 09's engine is exactly the same as the Volvo XC90. Classification by fuel type: Internal combustion engines can be divided into gasoline engines and diesel engines based on the type of fuel used. An internal combustion engine that uses gasoline as fuel is called a gasoline engine, while one that uses diesel as fuel is called a diesel engine. Gasoline engines and diesel engines each have their own characteristics. Gasoline engines have higher rotational speeds, lighter weight, lower noise, easier starting, and lower manufacturing costs. Diesel engines have higher compression ratios, better thermal efficiency, and superior fuel economy and emission performance compared to gasoline engines. Classification by stroke: Internal combustion engines can be divided into four-stroke and two-stroke engines based on the number of strokes required to complete a working cycle. A four-stroke engine completes a working cycle by turning the crankshaft twice (720 degrees), with the piston moving up and down four times in the cylinder. A two-stroke engine completes a working cycle by turning the crankshaft once (360 degrees), with the piston moving up and down twice in the cylinder. Four-stroke engines are widely used in automotive engines. Classification by cooling method: Internal combustion engines can be divided into water-cooled and air-cooled engines based on the cooling method. A water-cooled engine uses coolant circulating through the water jackets in the cylinder block and cylinder head as the cooling medium, while an air-cooled engine uses air flowing between the cooling fins on the outer surfaces of the cylinder block and cylinder head as the cooling medium. Water-cooled engines provide uniform cooling, reliable operation, and effective cooling performance, making them widely used in modern automotive engines.
I previously did some research on the relationship between Lynk & Co and Volvo. The Lynk & Co 09 uses Volvo's Drive-E series engine technology, with core models like the T5 and T8 plug-in hybrid being essentially identical. I've driven a friend's older XC90, and the engine bay layout is practically identical to the 09. After Geely acquired Volvo, the technology sharing became quite evident - the 09's 2.0T engine specifications closely match Volvo models. However, Lynk & Co's tuning leans more toward fuel efficiency while Volvo emphasizes smoother performance, but if you pop the hood, you'll find many parts share the same serial numbers.
