Volvo announced major CO2 and fuel economy improvements across its range of automatic models, ensuring that drivers of automatic cars can receive the same benefits as their manual counterparts.
Effective immediately, new S80, V70, S60 and V60 D3 and D4 Geartronic versions will emit under 130g/km CO2.
The changes have delivered an 11% emissions reduction on S60 D3/D4 Geartronic, which now produces just 126g/km CO2, (down from 142g/km) and returns 58.9mpg (52.3mpg on the previous production model).
Another model in the Volvo range that will benefit from the latest enhancements is the XC60 D4 FWD Geartronic. Fuel economy for this model rises to 47.1mpg from 41.5mpg and it now produces just 159g/km CO2, a 19g/km CO2 improvement on the previous production model.
The vast majority of existing orders needn’t take any further action as vehicles built from 11th February will automatically benefit from the CO2 and fuel economy enhancements.
