• My Road Test - Volvo XC70 D5 Summum Auto 19 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  The smart 4x4 system works seamlessly, providing rock-steady traction - it's your privilege not to think about it all, for it's just there doing its job. Perfectly. Apart from the Yamaha's V8 petrol in the XC90, Volvo currently uses only 5-cylinder engines - both petrol and diesels. Some say that 5 pots create more vibes, some say just the opposite. The one here - a D5 unit - creates no vibes at all plus it sounds great, just like hmm.... that would be rather hard to explain - something in between a R6 and a turbocharged 4-pot petrol.
