What are the engine specifications of the Volvo XC60?

The engine specifications of the Volvo XC60 are: maximum power is 140 kW, maximum power speed is 5000 rpm, maximum torque is 300 Nm, maximum torque speed is 1700 to 4000 rpm, and it is matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The Volvo XC60 is a medium-sized 5-door 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of: length 4688mm, width 1902mm, height 1658mm, and a wheelbase of 2865mm. Its drive system is front-wheel drive, the front suspension uses a double-wishbone independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension.
I recently studied the engine specifications of the Volvo XC60 and found them quite comprehensive. The current best-selling B5 version uses a 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine with 250 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque, which is more than sufficient for daily use. Paired with a 48V mild hybrid system, the initial acceleration feels particularly agile. The higher-end T8 plug-in hybrid version is even more impressive, with a 2.0T twin-charged engine and electric motor delivering 392 horsepower, achieving 0-100 km/h in just 5 seconds. I personally test-drove the B5 version and found the power reserves ample, yet fuel consumption was only around 8L. During highway cruising, the engine RPM is kept remarkably low, and the cabin is almost silent, showcasing excellent sound insulation. The automatic start-stop system and 8-speed automatic transmission work seamlessly together, without any jerky sensations like in some other cars.
From a driving experience perspective, the XC60's powertrain is quite intelligent. Having driven the previous-generation T5 for two years, I can say the new B5—while also a 2.0T—has optimized turbo lag, delivering 20Nm more torque at low RPMs compared to the old model. The hybrid version is even more fuel-efficient, with the plug-in hybrid offering 50km of pure electric range, making daily commutes nearly fuel-free. The only caveat is that the T8 version's battery slightly encroaches on trunk space, but the trade-off for an ultra-low combined fuel consumption of 4.9L is well worth it. The engine bay layout is also tidy, making spark plug changes during maintenance much more convenient than in German cars.
