[@arbnor922]

I had 2013 V60 2.0 D4 5 cylinder 163hp stock,it did 235kmh top speed,after doing stage 1 tune,it got 215 hp 450nm,very powerful and fast especially after 100kmh, but top speed was still 235 kmh. 5 cylinder sound was something lovely. Extremely stable car on high speeds and long trips and fuel consumption was really reasonable,even on high speeds and dynamic drive for hours and hours.

[@Arthurroo00]

The D4 is fine, but it's still a average size engine, the real driving pleasure is only shown by the D5, almost half a liter more capacity makes a huge difference. It also has a much better sound, legendary engine.

My D4 Rdesing (UK) is stock, hits 143mph (230kmh) and wont go any faster. I believe its limited to it. Still plenty fast. 90k miles on the clock, going really strong. Pulls on any gear, and driven calmly gives amazing mpg.

[@98MTBiker]

Could be. I have the 2013 D4 5 cylinder and hit 226 km/h going downhill. First I thought it was limited to 219 km/h because I couldn't get past it but on a downhill I got 226 km/h and it was still going.

[@genghis666]

i have same power tuned diesel (ford) but its 2.2 liter and it has 570nm, this small difference in capacity, however, makes a big difference in torque

[@zeedustrakok]

My personal opinion from my 2015 V60 D4 AT. The chassis can't really cope with more torque than 400nm ont the front axle (and I had 235/40R18 tires). And the range was 1200km when driving normally and 1400 when driving more economically. I could get around 75 liters in the tank. I currently drive a XC40 D4 AWD and it feels a bit slower than my V60 did. With the automatic it holds it back in the first 2 gears. But it does hold the road better with its 245/40R20 tires with Michelin pilot sport 4 tires. Soon it will be the T6 hybrid, but that is limited to 180 kph.

hoping u can test mark 1 volvo xc90 D5 tuned later on...

[@BDR-529]

Peak power should be around 4000 rpm, that‘s why it‘s a bit sluggish above that. But 7.2s to 100 seems realistic. A V70 with the 215hp D5 engine needs 7.8s. The V70 may be heavier, but also has more torque. So in my opinion this car has legit 240+ hp.

[@mattsson265]

Never thought I would see this car here. My first car 9 years ago was a Volvo V40 D4 r-design. With all facts on hand, it way too expensive as a first car at that time. A full tank gave u almost 2 months of driving. Wasn't interested in cars back then but it is a really good car for just daily use, especially if had the opportunity to have it tuned by Polestar. Volvo was really ahead at their time compared to alot of their competitors with their digital speedometer and Volvo-on-call app.
