Volvo XC T6 Drive-E crossover makes elegance standard - Toronto Star
It wants to make the best — and safest — car you can buy. It’s an $11-billion commitment to turning the company and its cars around while staying committed to safety. That sort of thing takes time, but now the relatively long-in-the-tooth XC60 crossover has a pair of new “Drive-E” engines, and they’re quite the development. The T5 Drive-E is a highly efficient 2. 0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder that’s good for a very respectable 240 horsepower and 258 lbs. My father also owned a Volvo, about as many years ago, and he hated it because it fell apart on him. Few other vehicles would have lasted as long as my dad’s much-abused Volvo. of torque and is only available with all-wheel drive, but the Drive-E is only available with front-wheel drive. Who wants a FWD Volvo in Canada. That was the other reason my dad hated his Volvo. I didn’t think of that long-ago accident until I sat in the XC60 and considered how impressed my dad would be with this new car. He wouldn’t care about front-wheel drive. Source: www.thestar.com
