In order to further strengthen the XC40’s position in the global market, Volvo has added three new engines to the SUV’s lineup. The first one is Volvo’s first three-cylinder engine. It is a 1.5-litre, direct-injection engine that makes 156PS and 265Nm and comes coupled with a 6-speed manual as standard. An 8-speed AT will be launched later. This 1.5-litre engine also powers the XC40 plug-in hybrid, which was unveiled earlier this year.
