Volvo will be extending the availability of its new 2.0 liter, 5-cylinder diesel engine, first seen in the S60, to its entire range.

For the Volvo C30, S40, V50 and C70 models, the new 2.0 liter diesel comes designated as a D3 with 150 hp (112 kW) and 350 Nm of torque. A D4 variant of the same power plant is also available with 177 hp (132 kW) and 400 Nm.

Volvo developed this latest 2.0 liter diesel by downsizing its 2.4 liter, 5-cylinder diesel power plant - shortening the stroke to improve fuel economy. It comes coupled to either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy ratings, depending on horsepower variant and vehicle model, run between 5.1 and 5.9 liters/100 km. CO2 emssions range from 134 to 154 g/km.
