Volvo V90 Engines and Transmissions

The Volvo V90 engine range centres on smooth, large-capacity gasoline units rather than outright power. The 2.9 MT pairs a 2.9-litre petrol six with a manual transmission and a rear-wheel-drive drivetrain, a powertrain suited to effortless highway cruising and towing, though it rewards a lighter right foot around town.
