Volvo XC 90 (2015) 2.0 D5 235 hp — premium diesel engine of the passenger segment of the Geely Holding (с 2010) group (Швеция, 1927).

The 2015 generation — mid-generation diesels on the EDC17 platform with OBD reading support and no need for Bench.

Volvo is historically known for its engineering-led approach to safety and the environment. Polestar is Volvo's performance division, and a standalone brand since 2017. The Volvo range comprises premium saloons, estates and crossovers (SPA and CMA platforms). High-output Volvo diesels are the premium XC90/XC60 crossovers. DPF/SCR with AdBlue is standard on Euro-6 Volvo diesels. The Volvo D5 (legacy V6) was an iconic premium-segment engine of the 2000s.

Within Geely Holding, ECUs are partly shared with Polestar and some Geely models. On pre-2017 Volvos, Stage 1 goes in over OBD without Bench. The Volvo community in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe has a large pool of ready-made Stage files. High-output Volvo models are premium crossovers with solid headroom for Stage 1.
