When a P0306 diagnostic code appears on a 2024 Volvo S60, this represents an impossible condition requiring investigation. The code indicates a cylinder 6 misfire, but your S60 has only 4 cylinders.
2024 Volvo S60 Powertrains
The 2024 S60 continues Volvo's 4-cylinder-only strategy:
- B5: 2.0L turbocharged mild-hybrid (247 hp)
- B6: 2.0L twin-charged mild-hybrid (295 hp)
- T8 Recharge: 2.0L twin-charged plug-in hybrid (455 hp)
All S60 variants use the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with cylinders 1-4 only. Cylinder 6 does not physically exist.
