V60 - 2014 facelift & T4 1.6/2.0 ltr engine differences

[stevet180]

Hi, I'm looking at picking up a used V60 (2011-2018 version), I know there was a facelift in 2014 with some changes but can anyone give me a summary of what they were? So far I've found a change to the headlights, the front grill and badge, and the windscreen washers being hidden. Is there anything else more substantial e.g. updates to the infotainment system etc?
This also brought with it (I think) the change from a 1.6 to 2.0 petrol engines. Now on paper the 2.0 litre gets better mileage and lower C02 emissions (and lower tax). Can anyone confirm that is the case?
Just trying to justify whether looking for a post-facelift version is worth the extra.
Cheers all.

The infotainment was much updated at the facelift, I'll send the detail when I can remember it. I think the engine change from 5 cylinder to 4 cylinder, still 2.0 litre also happened at the facelift (except cross country). Certainly my fathers D4 (which coincidently I've just got in from cleaning it with a view to selling it) is a 4 cylinder 2.0 litre, whilst previous D4s (and D3s) were 5 cylinders.

The 4 cylinders have lowers emissions and better fuel consumption, plus if you find a pre April 2017 it qualifies for £30/year road fund licence. Another reason why I'm tempted to keep my fathers V60 and sell my later SPA V60. As he bequeathed me a full tank of fuel I've been using it a lot recently and it achieves high 40s to the gallon in mixed use (easily over 50 on the motorway), this is an auto, so I'd expect the manual to do better.

There are 3 windscreen washers that give a good spread over the windscreen, the earlier version may of only has 2.

Apologies, I've just reread the post title and realised you're thinking of petrol, not diesel.

Not the same but when our V40 T3 1.6 was in for a service, I was lent a later T3 2.0.

Was a lot faster. Also, when we bought our V40, the salesman said the newer engines were far more economical.

Thanks for the replies, sounds like it may be worth waiting for the right facelifted 2.0 ltr T4.

Definitely. There was a time where I was going to get a V60 and it would have been the 2.0.
