the d4 will be AWD (the normal D4 FWD is only 2.0 not 2.4 this is where the numbering system falls down flat on its face) the D5 will only be FWD.
the usual numbering system is: -
D2 (1.6 8v)
D3 (2.0 between 136-163)
D4 (2.0 again normally - virtually the same as the D3 minus software)
D5 (2.4 with around 205)
now add the confusing elements in:-
the XC60 gets a D4 AWD which is 2.4, if only FWD the D4 is only 2.0, the D5 will only be FWD. (it changes every so slightly every model year from what i have seen)
to add further confusion the V60 has in MY2013: -
a D3 (with 136), D4 (163) and D5 FWD and D5 AWD both of which are 2.4.
if you go back to MY2012 though to add more confusion: -
there was no D4. so you had the D3 with 163 and the two D5's but the D5 actually had lower emissions enough to be a group lower in FWD format.
Really what volvo should do is badge the XC60 2.4 AWD as a D5 AWD it would make far more logical sense.
