What if we told you a vehicle could pack a small four-cylinder engine and deliver not only increased fuel economy, but also close to V8 power figures?
This isn't a dream we had, it's just Volvo's innovative Drive-E engine lineup which will replace Volvo's current 4-,5-, and 6-cylinder engine lineup over the next two years.
"We have created smaller, more intelligent engines with power curves that give exciting drivability compared with engines with more cylinders, yet deliver the fuel economy of only four cylinder," says Derek Crabb, former Volvo powertrain engineering vice president.1
The engines come turbocharged and supercharged, and when prepped for electrification, they can up the power even more.
Here's a unique perspective: see how much a Volvo Drive-E powertrain saves in relation to "Earth Hour."
Shift into a new efficient and powerful way of driving, and make your way over to Bergeron Volvo. We can show you what we have available in our Metairie, LA showroom, including vehicles equipped with these engines, like the S60 and XC60 crossover.
