didn't list the HP number?

I noticed the spec page has not been updated yet (I wanted to see what the T5 AWD weighed):

http://www.volvocars.com/us/all-cars/volvo-s60/details/Pages/specifications.aspx

Will keep an eye on that.

Nice to see they are still updating the 5 cylinder engine. It's a great engine and has always
seemed very "Volvoish", to me.

HP remains the same.

"as fuel efficient as the 2012 FWD"

I wonder how much more fuel efficient the 2013 FWD will be?

Higher engine compression ratio
Maximum turbo boost pressure increased by 16%

I wonder if it will require 91 octane now?

1 mpg better, in the COMBINED cycle rating (CITY/HWY)

No. 87 is still the required octane rating.

Awesome, constant improvement+ good product= reason to buy

Looks like the gear ratios got significantly changed. Overboost must be the reason why it's accelerating even faster now. Maybe it's putting out 325lbs of torque!

 

[shaneous]

Unlikely since the T6 puts out that much. AWD should contribute to a faster time as well. You should be able to get off the line faster and get up to speed because of the added grip and reduced FWD torque steer at launch

The next generation Haldex AWD system

Haldex V, I presume.

Well how else do you explain that it's 0.5s faster to 60MPH than the 2012 model? For the FWD model that is.

Haldex V, I presume.

Maybe it's as sophisticated as the Haldex system that Lambo uses! *continues to dream*

 

[mr_raider]

The numbers are conservative. MT tested the t5 fwd at 6.2 secs.

I wonder what these improvements will bring to the T6. Maybe sub 5.5 times?

 

[12_Ice_white_S60]

Haldex V, I presume.

Not heard of this. Is this XWD?

 

[Calhon]

Not heard of this. Is this XWD?

No. XWD is a Haldex center coupling (Gen IV on) combined with a second Haldex coupling (eLSD) in the rear axle - like on the Polestar S60 concept.

Haldex V is the next generation of the center coupling, which is scheduled to go (or has already gone) into production this year. Primary objectives are weight reduction and higher efficiency. Volvo contracted to buy Haldex V for future AWD models a couple years ago.

The AWD is slower than the FWD by .2 seconds. I believe this is due to the added weight of the Haldex.

 

[T5_Monkey]

Is this the 2.0 4pot... or 2.5 5 pot ?

 

[VolvoCPA]

Its the 5 POT

The Volvo release states a 16 percent torque boost; on the base of 266 that imples 308 (over the current 295) for the available 10 second squirt. A nice bump for sure, but does not seem to be enough to be the sole reason for the quicker zero to sixty times....gearing must be improving as well?

 

[SkyKiD]

So the mpg difference is only in the Combined mileage rating?

I read it as 16% more turbo boost.

I wish but it is not.
