INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW • The purpose of this Product News is to provide an overview of the following product actions; - Introduction of new range of Volvo powertrains - Advance notice of price changes effective September 30 - Miscellaneous product updates including new audio systems 2. DRIVE-E POWERTRAIN LAUNCH • Volvo Car Group has formally launched a new range of powertrains at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Over the next few years, all current engine and gearbox combinations will be replaced by new VEA (Volvo Environmental Architecture) technology that will be marketed as Drive-E. • As well as the generic VEA description, you may also see references to VEP (petrol) and VED (diesel) powertrains. • Initially launched in D4 FWD and T6 FWD configurations, these new two-litre, four-cylinder engines (and new 8-speed automatic transmission) will eventually cover all power ranges from an entry-level 120hp diesel through to top-end petrol hybrids with over 350hp. • The new D4 181hp Drive-E powertrain is initially available in S60, V60, XC60, S80, V70 and XC70 models, replacing the current D4 163hp variant. • The T6 FWD 306hp powertrain is initially available in S60 and V60 models, replacing the current T6 AWD 304hp variant. • In addition to a wide range of power outputs, this powertrain has been designed to be extremely efficient with outstandingly low levels of CO 2 combined with low fuel consumption. For example, the S60 D4 181hp has a class-leading CO 2 figure of just 99g/km. • The table below compares the current and new D4 powertrains; Volvo Car UK Limited. Page 1 of 6 REGISTERED OFFICE Scandinavia House, Norreys Drive, Maidenhead, SL6 4FL. REGISTERED IN ENGLAND & WALES No 02281044 INFORMATION PRODUCT NEWS • These figures are easily class-leading, bettering even the Volvo D2 115hp in S60, V60, S80 and V70 models despite the significant power difference. • The table below also provides a comparison to the closest equivalent BMW; • As can be seen, the Volvo Drive-E powertrains significantly outperform BMW’s Efficient Dynamics offer - both in manual and automatic versions. • In addition to new D4 and T6 FWD engines, the current D4 AWD powertrain is upgraded to 181hp (although this retains the current 5 cylinder layout) and despite the increase in power, there is no adverse impact on CO 2. • It will take a couple of years to launch Drive-E powertrains in all power positions across all carlines. The next phase will be to introduce Drive-E powertrains in the Volvo V40 during 2014. • Preliminary technical data for planning purposes is attached to this PN and full homologated data will be released within the next few weeks. • For clarity, all product changes announced in conjunction with Sep 30 price changes will be referred to as MY14.5. 3. MY14.5 PRICE AND SPECIFICATION CHANGES • Effective on all orders placed from Monday September 30, the following price changes will take effect. Note that trim level and powertrain price changes must be combined to establish the full pricing effect for each variant. • Full vehicle pricing is included as a download with this Product News.

  • Volvo V40 Market Positioning
    VOLVO V40 MARKET POSITIONING When the Volvo V40 range was originally unveiled in 1995, it heralded the start of a new era of style and design for Volvo Cars. Here was a car that broke with the mould of traditional Volvo estates, offering a premium, lifestyle alternative without sacrificing Volvo’s core values of safety and the environment. As a compact premium estate in a sector dominated by mainstream volume models, the Volvo V40 mixes a stylish exterior with a generous specification and a spacious and versatile load bay. A comprehensive chassis upgrade in 2000 improved the ride without compromising the handling, and for 2003 the range was further enhanced. The Volvo V40 also boasts impressive safety, security and environmental standards. When the Volvo V40 range was originally unveiled in 1995, it heralded the start of a new era for Volvo Cars. Here was a ‘lifestyle’ alternative that broke the mould of traditional Volvo estates and brought a new level of sophistication to the upper medium estate sector, without sacrificing Volvo’s values of safety and the environment. As a compact premium estate in a market dominated by mainstream, volume brand alternatives, the Volvo V40 holds a unique position and attracted customers who may have not previously have been able to consider a Volvo. From the moment it was launched, the Volvo V40 received critical acclaim for its new styling themes, which culminated in the accolade of the ‘Most Beautiful Estate Car in the World’ at an Italian award ceremony. As the sister estate car to Volvo’s V70, it also provides Volvo with competitive offerings in two crucial sectors of the estate car market.

  • Volvo V50 Model Year 2006
    SAFETY In brief: • Torsional rigidity improved by 68% compared with original Volvo S40. • Patented zonal front structure controls vehicle deformation. • Extensively crash tested in Volvo's award winning Safety Centre. • SIPS (Side Impact Protection System) with side airbags and IC (Inflatable Curtain) airbags for front and rear passengers. • Twin front ‘intelligent’ airbags. • 'Best' class of Thatcham's "2005 Dynamic Seat Assessments". • Five three-point seatbelts with pre-tensioners. • Volvo’s WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System). • Rear seat belt reminders. • Softer, curved front section designed to protect pedestrians and cyclists. • Passenger Airbag Cut Off Switch available. Volvo’s commitment to safety is as old as the company itself. As, Assar Gabrielsson, one of the founders of Volvo declared: “Cars are driven by people. The guiding principle behind everything we make at Volvo therefore, is – and must remain – safety.” The target for the designers of the Volvo V50 was to match the safety performance of the much larger Volvo V70 estate and S80 saloon. Meeting this target meant adopting a new approach to structural design. The torsional rigidity of the new model is 34% greater than that of its predecessor and the front structure of the car is broken up into different deformation zones, which protect the cabin. In the event of a front impact, occupants are further protected by “intelligent” airbags and seatbelts with pretensioners. The front passenger seat has also been specially designed to accommodate a rear-facing child seat. All Volvo's car models tested by the International Insurance Whiplash Prevention Group (IIWPG), which includes the UK's Motor Insurance Repair Research Centre in Thatcham, were found in the best class of their "2005 Dynamic Seat Assessments".
