Default The new 2011 Volvo XC60 T5 (I4 EcoBoost)

Hi Guys,

The new 2011 Volvo XC60 T5 features the I4 EcoBoost engine and the 6-speed PowerShift gearbox that the Falcon is getting towards the end of the year.

I had a look at the Volvo website and the car’s performance is reported at 8.1sec (0-100) and 8.7ltr/100km (combined fuel consumption) with the Volvo weighting 1740Kg.

The Falcon in its I6 configuration weight about 1730KG and considering that the EcoBoost I4 is expected to bring a weight reduction of 80 – 90KG it seems that 7.7sec(0 - 100) and 8.2ltr/100km is not out of reach.

Opinions?
