That consumption is pretty good for a 2.4t I think. Did a lot of research on these a few years ago and with mixed driving it seemed to struggle to get below 10l/100km
Almost bought a 2.5t but backed away when the seller tried to explain to me why his car was one of the few cars that shipped with the premium sound system but without the sub.

Fuel consumption got better after cleaning acceleration, changing faulty vvt and cleaning pipes. Volvos have this problem, especially diesels. They have electronic gas pedal. And it gets super dirty. That’s why they have rough idle.
My dad has original sub and better sound system on his xc70. Also 2.5 blocks are known for cracked blocks, due to thin walls. The best is 2.3 block, but it’s almost impossible to find good, original shape.

Now about performance. Engine is B5244T3. Small turbo, which is fun in the city. For me car is fast enough. Tested 0-100. Around 8sec with winter tires. Pretty good for a family wagon. Also it handles well on twisty roads. Just learned to rev match. Next is heel-toe.
Fuel consumption: tbh I don’t care. It shows 7-8l per 100km on a highway.
Next: summer tires, replace some broken interior bits. And drive it as much as possible. Don’t want to upgrade it. Slowly searching S80 for chill cruise. Or s60, 850, c70 with 2.3 t5 for faster rides
