Volvo builds its final diesel-powered automobile, a blue XC90

Volvo Builds Its Final Diesel Powered Car, A Blue Xc90

It’s over between Volvo and diesel engines. Last September, at Climate Week NYC, the Swedish carmaker said it was breaking up with Rudolph Diesel’s popular, globetrotting invention. Earlier this month, the Volvo plant in Torslanda, Sweden, sent the penultimate diesel-powered XC90 into the world. Then got here the ender, the last of its kind: A blue XC90 produced at Volvo’s Ghent, Belgium, plant utilizing a twin-turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder mild hybrid making 235 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. Just as with the last-of-its-kind Audi R8 that recently emerged from Audi’s Bollinger Hofe facility, the XC90 is headed to a special project, the World of Volvo museum, event and conference space slated to open April 14 in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Considering auto development timelines, Volvo practically quit diesel cold-turkey. In 2008, greater than 90% of XC90s sold in Europe left dealer lots with diesel engines. In 2012, the carmaker put the world’s first diesel hybrid in the marketplace, the V60 D6 wagon. Five years ago, diesels still accounted for greater than half of Volvo’s European sales, the bread-and-butter powertrain across the model lineups. In response to Autocar, diesels still power 40% of the premium cars sold in Europe today, meaning Volvo’s walking away from money on the table. It’s doing so without regret, though, saying, “The all-electric direction we’re now heading towards is the suitable one to take, and we achieve this with our flag held high.”

After delaying the launch of the XC90’s electric substitute, the EX90, over software issues, the timeline for U.S. buyers still appears to be production in the primary half of this yr in Ridgeville, South Carolina, deliveries starting in Q3. The usual dual-motor drivetrain making 402 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque starts at $77,990 after destination; the performance version of the identical drivetrain making 496 horsepower and 671 pound-feet of torque starts at $82,990.

Automotive News‘ Future Product Pipeline says we’ll see refreshes for the EX40 and EC40 this yr, and in 2025, a brand new all-electric S90 sedan that may be called the ES90, and an electrical midsizer to switch the volume-selling XC60.
