Older Volvo generations (up to 2014) were powered by five-cylinder 2.0 and 2.4 diesel engines (D3, D4, D5), known for their distinctive sound and strong torque. From 2014 onward, Volvo moved to the Drive-E family of four-cylinder 2.0 engines with D2, D3, D4 and D5 badges — offering different power outputs (120–235 HP) and advanced systems such as PowerPulse on the D5. The latest B4 and B5 diesels (from 2019/2020) feature a 48V mild-hybrid system.
In Montenegro, the most sought-after versions are XC60 D4 and XC90 D5 thanks to their mix of safety, space and off-road ability with AWD. V60 and V60 Cross Country D-series models are a favourite among drivers who prefer an estate body style. The S60 sedan and larger S90 D4 are common among commuters. Smaller V40 D2 and D3 models are an affordable and economical choice in the compact segment.
On older five-cylinder D5 engines (2008–2014), the biggest concern is the stretched balance-shaft chain and oil consumption on certain versions — check the service history. The Drive-E generation is generally more reliable, but it still requires regular maintenance. Check the DPF condition (regeneration cycles), the EGR valve and the AdBlue system on models with SCR technology. The Volvo Powershift gearbox (on older models) is known for issues — Aisin AWF8 and later Geartronic transmissions are the better choice. For Montenegro’s hilly roads, AWD versions are recommended.
All three badges in the Drive-E generation use the same 2.0-litre engine block, but they differ in power and turbocharger setup. D3 and D4 use a single turbo (150–190 HP), while D5 has a twin-stage turbo system or PowerPulse technology for up to 235 HP.
The Drive-E D4 engine in the XC60 is generally considered reliable with regular maintenance. The most common issues are EGR and DPF problems on short city trips, and potentially the Aisin AWF8 gearbox if the oil is not changed. With documented service history, these cars can easily exceed 250,000+ km.
No. Base D2 and D3 models (V40, S60, V60) are most often front-wheel drive (FWD). AWD is standard or optional on XC40, XC60, XC90 and V60 and V90 Cross Country versions, as well as on some D5 and more powerful D4 variants.
