All the variants of the new two-liter turbodiesel can be specified with a six-speed automatic transmission or six-speed manual gearbox.

1.6L D2. The C30, S40 and V50 are also available with the 1.6-liter diesel engine D2, which also complies with the Euro 5 standards. Fuel consumption in all three models is 4.3 L/100 km (54.7 mpg US) (EU Combined), which corresponds to CO₂ emissions of 114 g/km. The engine produces 115 hp (86 kW) and 270 N·m (199 lb-ft) of torque and now comes with a six-speed manual gearbox.

Gasoline engines. The Volvo S80, V70, XC70 and XC60 also get upgraded gasoline engines. The six-cylinder, turbocharged T6 has a displacement of 3.0 liters and it now offers even sharper performance, thanks mainly to a reduction in internal friction. As in the all-new S60, it now offers 304 hp (227 kW) and 440 N·m (325 lb-ft) of torque. Maximum torque is achieved between 2100 and 4200 revs. This results in rapid acceleration and smooth driving properties. All-Wheel Drive is fitted as standard.

The six-cylinder 3.2-litre naturally aspirated engine has also been upgraded and features an improved crankshaft and less internal friction. It now offers 243 hp (181 kW) and maximum torque is 320 N·m (236 lb-ft). In order to meet US legislative requirements, there is also a PZEV (Partial Zero Emission Vehicle) variant that produces 231 hp (172 kW) and 300 N·m (221 lb-ft).
