Like the V70 wagon, a 3.2-liter inline six-cylinder engine powers the XC70. Making 235 horsepower and 236 lb.-ft. of torque, it is the first six-cylinder offered in the XC70. The engine features Volvo's variable valve timing and lift mechanism, known as Cam Profile Switching (CPS). It will be connected to a six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift control, and of course, a Haldex all-wheel drive system is standard equipment. There was no word of the V8 engine that is available in the S80, with which the XC70 shares its platform. One can only hope.
