ENGINE
Five-cylinder in-line engine. Double overhead camshafts, 20 valves. Continu-
ously variable valve timing on both the inlet and exhaust side. Three-way
catalytic converter with heated oxygen sensor. Electronic engine management
system. Light-pressure turbocharger and dual-charge air coolers (Intercoolers).
Volvo’s smooth-running five-cylinder engines are designed to respond at low
rpm, so there’s plenty of torque without having to shift to a lower gear. This is
made possible by continuously variable valve timing, low internal friction and
the electronic engine control system. This also helps to optimize fuel consump-
tion and reduce environmental impact—all engines comply with stringent
emission standards, such as California’s ULEV II.

All technical data are preliminary.
DRIVELINE
Front wheel drive. Transverse engine. Six-speed all-synchromesh manual
transmission. Also available with a five-speed Geartronic automatic allowing
manual shifting.
The distinctive six-speed manual gearbox inspires an active driving style,
while the smooth clutch affords confident take-off. For the best of both worlds,
there’s the Geartronic—a responsive five-speed automatic for relaxed driving.
It can also be shifted manually so that you can maintain a lower gear to rev the
engine or provide the added assistance of engine braking. A special winter
setting makes it easier to move off and maintain grip on slippery surfaces.
CHASSIS
Front suspension with spring struts (McPherson), anti-dive and anti-lift
function. Multilink independent rear suspension. Stabilizers front and rear.
DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction Control).
The rigid body enables the suspension to function optimally for well balanced
handling and a high level of comfort. The front and rear suspensions also
interact to provide stable braking and smooth steering. The DSTC stability
system lends a helping hand if either of the drive wheels begins to lose traction
or if a skid is imminent.
STEERING
Speed-dependent, power-assisted, electro-hydraulic, rack and pinion steering.
Tilt and telescopic steering column. Leather-clad steering wheel. 2.6 turns lock
to lock. Turning circle 38.7 ft. (10.6 m)
Behind the wheel, you can enjoy responsive yet firm steering that gives pro-
gressively less power assistance the faster you drive. High steering precision
and balanced road feedback are easily enjoyed benefits.
BRAKES
Power-assisted anti-locking disc brakes (ABS), ventilated discs front. EBA
(Emergency Brake Assistance). EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution) between
the front and rear brakes. Diagonally split braking system.
Powerful anti-locking disc brakes help ensure a short stopping distance under
all circumstances and withstand tough use without fading. EBA helps you use
your brakes to the full in an emergency situation, while EBD distributes the
braking effect between the front and rear wheels in order to achieve optimal
results according to the car’s load and driving conditions.
