Dare to believe
If you’re a bit old-school and struggle to see how a 2.0-litre
four-cylinder twin-turbo diesel can possibly propel 1970kg of
Sweden’s finest down the road with anything approximating
alacrity, then do yourself a favour and take an XC90 for a
spin. In combination with its excellent eight-speed auto,
the Volvo’s 165kW/470Nm four-pot is a revelation,
proving easily capable of hauling a full payload of
passengers and luggage in impressive style.FAREWELL
