Volvo has made a fast start to the New Year by sharpening its diesel
offering for the Indian market. The refreshed Volvo S80 for model year
2010 has an even tougher and exclusive design than before, while
providing top-class fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, performance
coupled with Volvo's signature safety features. The latest generation D5
Twin-Turbo diesel engine takes performance, fuel efficiency and
refinement to entirely new levels. All this reinforces the model's
position in the premium sedan segment and satisfies customers with high
demands.
Delighted with the enhanced technology, Paul
de Voijs, Managing Director, Volvo Auto India, said, "Sometimes a
subtle 'hum' is more powerful than a roar. With the new S80, we're
placing the bar at the highest level when it comes to exclusiveness,
quality and driving properties. Our mission was to develop a modern
diesel engine – with the benefits that go with them – which also meets
the emission EURO 5. This is yet another step in our determination to
reduce the combustion engine's environmental impact, at the same time as
we give customers a truly quiet and sophisticated engine with excellent
performance. However, the refreshed S80 should not just be seen, it has
to be experienced."
The
D5 engine has several advanced technical features. With the latest Twin
Turbo and Peizo high-pressure technology, the inspiring five-cylinder
state -of-art will be high on performance and low on fuel consumption to
a record low for a car in this class. A maintenance free diesel
particulate filter effectively reduces soot particles in exhaust gases
and advanced emission control contributes to low nitrogen oxide level –
the new D5 already comply with stringent, upcoming Euro 5 exhaust
emission requirements. Volvo is the only car company in India to offer
the DPF feature across all its diesel models from the beginning of its
operations in the country.
All-new five-cylinder diesel engine
The
driving experience in the refreshed Volvo S80 has been elevated with an
entirely new twin-turbo five-cylinder 2.4-litre diesel. The new D5
engine offers 205 horsepower, 420 Nm of torque over a very wide range of
engine revs. The Fuel consumption and CO2 emission for the car stands
at 13.1 kmpl and 203gms/km respectively – a record-low figure for a car
of this size and performance level. This state-of-the-art engine
delivers a plush drive.
