You also get a sixâ€" cylinder engine that runs smoother and quieter than most fourâ€" or fiveâ€" cylinder diesels. It‘s a responsive engine that enables the dieselâ€" powered Volvo to outaccelerate a Mercedes diesel from 0 to 60 mph* And, of course, both sedan and wagon are fuel efficient. Which means you get a car with a sixâ€"digit odometer; a car designed to last longer than your auto loan. (In Sweden, Volvos have an average life expectancy of 18.7 years.
