Volvo's bold attempt to revamp its engine lineup is commendable. They are neither cheap nor simple, yes! We are happy to always try them

The importance of a car's engine to the human body is no less than that of an organ. It is the part that makes the car fully functional.

Volvo has a long history of producing inline (or inline) engines. This list of Volvo engines provides an overview of available internal combustion engines.

Volvo ordered its engines from the engine company Penta in Skovde when it first started in 1927. The DA type is a 28-horsepower in-line four-cylinder side-valve engine, the first. Volvo purchased most of Penta's shares in 1931, and Penta became a Volvo subsidiary in 1935. Volvo has also developed fuel and diesel engines, including GEP3, VEP4, side-value 6, B4B, B18, B30, V6, SOHC, DOHC and Volvo V8.

Some have been discontinued, and some are still in production.

The original T5 was a contracted version of Volvo's 2.4-liter B525 inline five-cylinder engine, which debuted on the 850 in 1993. T5 gets a thicker cylinder liner to cope with the heat and pressure of turbocharged combustion, reducing the cylinder diameter from 83 mm to 81 mm, but keeping the stroke at 90 mm. The compression ratio of T5 dropped from 10.5 to 8.5:1 exactly two percentage points.

When this motor was first released, it had extraordinary power data: 222bhp at 5,200 rpm and 221lb-ft at 2,000 to 5,200 rpm. Compared with the 168 and 162 bhp of the normal (2.4 20v) 850, this is a disadvantage. Welcome increase.

In comparison, the 1994 BMW 325i produced 189 horsepower, Maxima produced 190 horsepower, Taurus SHO produced 220 horsepower, Saab 9000 produced 200 horsepower turbocharged and 225 horsepower aviation.

In addition to its power level, the T5 is a pleasant and distinctive engine. Due to its strange number of cylinders, it makes a harsh roar, which is different from anything else (except for UrS6, which will be discontinued soon).

In 1999, the five-cylinder engine achieved a total horsepower of 236 horsepower through wire-controlled throttle and variable valve timing on the exhaust cam. In the heyday of the engine, Volvo sold many higher-output T5s. In 1995, the first was spotted under the hood of the ridiculous-looking 850 T-5R sedan and station wagon.

Prior to the introduction of Drive-E, the T5 engine underwent an overhaul in 2013. The engine compression ratio has been increased from 9.0 to 9.5:1, the engine torque has been increased to 4,200 rpm, and engine management improvements allow faster shifts and upshifts when the 6-speed automatic transmission is in sport mode. In sport mode, the speed automatic transmission is engaged.
