Is it just me! Or does the drive-e petrol T5 engine seem very noisy when idling!? It’s not quite as loud as a diesel but much louder than previous turbo petrol cars I have owned.. anything different that attributes to this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The drive-e engine is different to the old volvo modular design and uses direct injection so won't have the same sound. Will be a totally different engine.

They play fast and loose with the T5 branding these days :D :D
the T5 is not more than a 2-liter turbo, yes, with nothing more and nothing less than 254cv. Within the range of gasoline, with the same engine block, for me it is getting used to its sound.
