What engine does the Volvo V60 use?
2 Answers
Volvo V60 uses a 2.0T L4 turbocharged and mechanically dual-charged engine. The 2.0 refers to the engine displacement of 2.0 liters, T stands for turbocharged engine, L indicates the cylinder arrangement is inline, and 4 means the engine has a total of 4 cylinders. The space volume that the piston moves from top dead center to bottom dead center is called the cylinder displacement. Currently, common engine types include naturally aspirated engines and turbocharged engines. The Volvo V60 is positioned as a mid-size car, with all body styles being station wagons. It measures 4761mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1432mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2872mm. In terms of power, the Volvo V60's 2.0T engine comes in two power outputs, high and low, matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and all models are front-wheel drive.
I've been driving the Volvo V60 station wagon for several years, and its engines are mostly from the Drive-E series 2.0-liter four-cylinder lineup. The gasoline version like the T5 with turbocharging delivers strong power and quick acceleration, with decent fuel efficiency in city traffic jams, making it worry-free for daily commutes, while also capable for long-distance trips. The diesel D4 version is even more economical, with a full tank lasting for extended distances, perfect for road trips. The hybrid T8 is my favorite—combining the engine with an electric motor allows for dozens of kilometers on pure electric power, saving money and running quietly for daily commutes with almost no fuel consumption. Volvo designed these engines with an emphasis on efficiency and safety, featuring simple maintenance and low upkeep costs, delivering a smooth and comfortable driving experience overall. As an owner, I find it not only reliable but also adaptable to various road conditions, perfectly matching the versatile character of a station wagon. Currently, mainstream V60 models on the market offer this configuration with diverse powertrain options to suit different needs.
