The V40 Cross Country that is at present available only with a 2.0-L diesel engine in India would draw a petrol variant tomorrow. Situation beneath the hood is reported to be a 1.6-litre DOHC turbocharged dynamo crafted by Ford. The inshore 4-cylinder engine sports twin-independent variable camshaft timing, and comes with two states of applications internationally – 150 PS and 185 PS. The engine is paired to a six-speed automatic transmission.
We are still not sure about the power rating of the Indian-spec car, it is reported that likes of Volvo may go for the high-power 185 PS tuning, since the diesel engine is already making 152 PS, and petrol customers are performance driven. The car is likely to come with the similar kit as the diesel with a Side Impact Protection System airbags, Knee and curtain airbags, Volvo’s city safety system, traction control, Panoramic sunroof, Sensus audio system, TFT instrument cluster, etc.
The company is expected to get the estimate for the V40 Cross Country petrol in the INR 30-35 lakh bracket. Also all this while Volvo is reportedly to comprise a host of new launches this year in the domestic market this year with the S60 T6 (petrol variant of the S60 sedan), V40 hatchback, and the next-generation XC90 SUV.
