Sadly the Outback is essentially the last non-luxury wagon available in the US.

Volvo is discontinuing theys wagons sales in Europe. Think 2023 is the final year. I wonder how much longer they continue to sell them here. I've owned two V70 and I definitely miss that better gas mileage. My traverse is a typical gas guzzling chevy. 😒 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I have a V60. Sad to say it doesn't get good gas mileage. I get about 18 in the city. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wiggles Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 That's crazy that a V60 gets the exact same gas mileage as a 740 from almost 35 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Volvo made a business decision for efficiency and to streamline production, so they only make one engine for all their cars. It's a 2.0L turbocharged 4 cylinder that generates 250 hp. When I bought my car it was designated the T5. Now they claim some minor hybridization with regenerative braking and it's called the B5. But if you look at Volvos it's all either the T(or B)5 or the T(or B)6. The difference is in the 6 they add a supercharger on top of the turbo, to generate more horsepower (over 300). But in the larger cars like the XC60 the 5 engines just have to work harder so they get even worse mileage. I had an XC90 as a loaner, and you the power and acceleration were good, but I was getting only 13 mpg where I would get 18 in my V60. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
