Is it just me! Or does the drive-e petrol T5 engine seem very noisy when idling!? It’s not quite as loud as a diesel but much louder than previous turbo petrol cars I have owned.. anything different that attributes to this?

The drive-e engine is different to the old volvo modular design and uses direct injection so won't have the same sound. Will be a totally different engine.
