I got XC60 T5 (MY2012) already 9 months. Compare to my S60 T5 (MY2005), hate to say I have no good driving experience with XC60 T5. Seat is not comfortable and the worst … no power, yup… it has no power and maybe perform like NA car


I test drive my friend VW Tiguan 2.0 TSI (MY2013) last night. VW Tiguan is not that power as S60 T5 (MY2005), but it is a lot better than XC60 T5. I start to doubt whether Volvo forget to install turbo in my engine


In my belief XC60 T5 is superior over VW Tiguan 2.0 TSI in term of power. Hard to live with it after I drove VW Tiguan. How are you guys feel XC60 T5 in power? Just want to know whether I miss anything…

The spec on paper,
VW Tiguan 2.0 TSI - 208 hp at 5,300 rpm / 280 Nm at 1,700 rpm / weight 1,689 kg / 7.3 seconds
Volvo XC60 T5 - 240 hp at 5,500 rpm / 320 Nm at 1,800 rpm / weight 1,698 kg / 8.1 seconds

p/s: extremely slow throttle response + no power like NA car

 

Not really a happy ending after send to volvo service center today. Turbo is running, everything is healthy and no software upgrade available. (software updated in last Jan)

Long story short, i have to live with this slow volvo.

I just realized that i am not alone. There are quite some owners of s60 t5 or xc60 t5 (same engine) complaining this issue.

Spec shown on paper is XXX. Think twice before you jump into this engine, this is not 5 pot T5. This is powerless T5.
