Three at last?

Volvo hasn’t shut the door on threecylinder petrol engines making their way into the XC60. Although destined initially for the 40 series cars, with Ghentbuilt XC40S due to arrive here in Q2 2018, the three-pot could well have a place as an entrylevel engine for urban XC60 buyers. Don’t hold your breath for a threecylinder diesel, though. Volvo looked at that tech but couldn’t make the numbers work when trying to balance cost, efficiency and demand.
