Volvo Cars has a long reputation as a maker of inline (or straight) engines. This list of Volvo engines gives an overview of available internal combustion engines.

When Volvo started in 1927, they ordered their engines from the engine manufacturer Penta in Skövde. The first engine was the inline four-cylinder side-valve 28 horsepower (21 kW; 28 PS) Type DA. In 1931, Volvo acquired a majority of the Penta stock, and in 1935, Penta became a subsidiary of Volvo. For the engines used by Volvo Trucks, see List of Volvo Trucks engines.

Previous owner, Ford Motor Company, allowed Volvo to continue to design their own engines, with a new-generation straight-six engine introduced in 2006. More recently the VEA program has been launched. VEA engines are branded as "Drive-E" in marketing.

Naming

To name their engines, Volvo has used:

  • 1955–1985 — four or five characters
  • 1985–1994 — five or six characters
  • 1993–1994 — six to eight characters

Generally, the following naming scheme is used:

In 2010 Volvo changed their engine branding nomenclature so that it is independent of engine size and number of cylinders. The letter "D" designates diesel and "T" petrol. Letters are followed by a number that dictate the level of power. The table below list the lower limit power required for each emblem in 2010.[1]

Diesel Power [metric hp] Petrol Power [metric hp]
D8 300 T8 325
D6 250 T6 275
D5 200&215 T5 225
D4 165 T4 175
D3 135 T3 150
D2 115 T2 125
D1 90 T1 100
