From what I’ve found on the web, Volvo wasn’t the first manufacturer to do this. Honda started it..

The propulsion in the t5 TE will be something entirely new.

It’s based on a dual clutch gearbox where the combustion engine is attached to the 1,3,5 gears and the electric to the 2,4,6 gears.

I’ve ordered one.. can tell you more about it mid February;)

Thanks to all for the feedback!

I ended choosing the t5 twin engine.

I’ll add more stats as soon as I receive it in mid February.

Cheers!

How bad is it?

Edit: unless for resale value.. I’ll be holding the car for 6+ years.. it’s crystal ball guessing but maybe cuz of battery deg...

First, thanks for all the comments. I live in Portugal, the difference between a manual T3 RDesign and a Momentum plus T5 Twin Engine is around 2k. And those 2k I can “easily” get from the hybrid Powertrain.. given my usage.. The 360 camera needs the blind spot feature that I happily want to have. D...

Hey there, I've been hanging around before committing with a XC40 and have finally decided it was a go! :) My choices (budget) are between either a 1) beautiful T3 RDesign Red fusion, manual transmission as I love the "old analog feel" of changing gears or 2) an all black (my original choi...
