Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 360'000 km | 300'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Volvo XC90 engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 10 years | 7 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 5 other car models, including Volvo S60, Volvo XC60, Volvo S90, Volvo V90 | Installed on at least 8 other car models, including BMW 5 sērija, BMW 3 sērija, BMW 1 sērija, BMW X3, BMW X1 | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. | |||
