1991-1998 Volvo 940/960/S90/V90: Technical Specifications

Upon introduction in 1991, the 940 GLE model comes with a dual-cam 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine. It provides 153 horsepower at 5700 rpm and 150 pound-feet of torque at 4450 rpm. Turbos and SE versions provide a turbocharged 2.3-liter with a single-overhead camshaft. It delivers 162 horsepower at 4800 rpm and 195 pound-feet of torque at 3450 rpm. A 4-speed overdrive automatic is standard on all models. For '92, Volvo deletes the 153-horsepower 4-cylinder and begins installing the 240 model's 2.3-liter engine in the 940 GL. It offers only 114 horsepower at 5400 rpm and 136 pound-feet of torque at 2150 rpm. The same year, 960 sedans and wagons provided a new 2.9-liter twin-cam inline-6, rated at 201 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 197 pound-feet of torque at 4300 rpm. Emissions tuning in '95 resulted in revised numbers of 181 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 199 pound-feet of torque at 4100 rpm. A 4-speed automatic is the only transmission provided by Volvo. Finally, for '96 the naturally aspirated and turbocharged 4-cylinder engines are dropped with the elimination of the 940 models.
