The mild-hybrid system is used when starting your Volvo and it can also be used under hard accelerations or when performance is needed to provide an extra boost. When starting the engine, the ISG helps improve efficiency.
The Volvo B5 engine delivers 247 hp, which on paper seems less than the previous T5 model which had 250 hp.

The same can be said for the new B6 which features 295 hp, 310 pound-feet of torque, and the extra 13 hp from the ISG. Give us a call today to learn more about new Volvo B engines.
