Google Volvo (31361653). That looks to be the Genuine Volvo part number for a 2016 T5.

I always look at rockauto if I want to just see 20 answers to the question. Even if 4 of the answers are wrong, you at least get an idea.

One Idea I get looking at this is that the OE recommended gap is 0.03 and the 4704 comes preset at 0.04. Based on that I wouldn't trust too many people to install them. My volvos have crazy small spark plug gaps. .030 is still pretty small.

Bosch and NGK both make a plug that is preset more like a Volvo would like.
