  • All - Engine size 9 Jun 2018 (Forum)
    I had a Volvo XC90 as a loan car and was surprised that the engine was only a 2 litres diesel. For such a big car it went quite well. Lots of large cars seem to have smallish engines, Merc E class 220 for example, one I had a ride in had 335k on the clock so it's lasted well. So for the average

    for the school run and commute. We have been driving a XC90, which we bought new and loved, but won't be bringing back to the UK.
