Volvo 90 Series Model and Application Reference
| Detail | Description |
|---|---|
| XC90 1st Gen P2 (2003 to 2014) | Older platform with legacy engines (3.2L I6, 4.4L Yamaha V8, late T6 I6). Throttle bodies are engine-specific and not interchangeable with modern Drive-E throttle bodies. Confirm engine code when ordering for an XC90 1st gen. |
| Modern S90/V90/XC90 2nd Gen SPA (2015 onward) | All Drive-E 2.0L I4 engines (T4, T5, T6, T8 hybrid). Throttle bodies are standardized across the gas engine lineup with minor variations for boost level. T8 plug-in hybrid uses same throttle body as T6 since hybrid engine is essentially T6 plus electric motor. |
| T8 Plug-In Hybrid Special Note | T8 Twin Engine variants use the Drive-E T6 internal combustion engine plus rear-axle electric motor. The gas engine throttle body is the same as a T6 model. T8-specific components are the high-voltage battery, electric motor, and inverter, not the throttle body. |
