Which cars use the Volvo 5-cylinder diesel engine?

I recently test-drove a Volvo V40 with the 5-cylinder diesel engine. It was great, but just a bit small for us. Could you tell me which other cars of any make use this 5-cylinder engine, which I found very impressive.

The Volvo S60s, V60s, XC60s, V70s, XC70s and S80s all do. XC90s also have the 2.4-litre 5-cylinder but not the 2.0-litre 5-cylinder version. They were originally developed from 5-cylinder Audi engines, but Volvo is now working on its own new 4-cylinder engines. The outdated Geartronic torque converter automatic is best avoided, though.
