Move over six-cylinder -- there's a new sheriff in town, and its name is the Volvo Drive-E powertrain. This new four-cylinder engine leaves the fuel-guzzling extra cylinders in the 20th century for more eco-friendly technology -- like an ECO+ mode that optimizes gearshifts, throttle response and engine control for improved fuel economy.
The Drive-E engines -- a turbocharged T5, turbo/supercharged T6 and D4 diesel -- fuel smarter with a harmony of sensors that determine when fuel usage can be attuned for ideal consumption. This i-ART technology is responsible for the first -ever intelligent diesel fuel injection system, and the eight-speed gearbox ensures that the appropriate gear is always selected for a superior driving experience.
Find out more about the Drive-E philosophy and where the Volvo brand is headed:
The Drive-E engine is currently available on the 2015 Volvo S60, V60 and XC60 models, and it will be an option for all Volvo vehicles come 2016. Meet this smart family at our Volvo of Stamford dealership, located at 107 Myrtle Avenue in Stamford, CT.
