Powertrain Options and Availability

Available with either manual shift or a four-speed automatic transmission, the 2.3-liter engine in the high-performance T5 delivered 242 horsepower. Base-model 2.4 wagons got a 168-hp nonturbocharged engine. In 2003, V70 2.5T AWD and XC70 got a power boost to 208 hp, up from 197 from a new 2.5-liter engine.
