As of model year 2016 all versions of the Volvo V40 are equipped with Drive-E powertrains – offering a world-class blend of drivability and low CO2 emissions. The CO2 emissions of the 120 hp Volvo V40 D2 with manual gearbox are down to an outstanding 82 g/km.

EXTERIOR

Low and wide front design

The classic V-shaped bonnet is further enhanced by bold, expressive lines. The high-gloss grille is low and wide in order to create a sporty, close-to-the-ground feel. The lower opening is surrounded at the corners by sculpted bodywork, stretching from one wheel arch to the other. The sculptured corners not only add character, they also direct the airflow to improve aerodynamics. Daytime Running Lights are set into the lower corners of the front end, sweeping upward from direct front view. The "blade design" of the front headlights creates an attractive light pattern in the dark.

Wide shoulder and dynamic profile

The wide shoulder line stretches back from the headlamp with a sharp line to echo the rising beltline. As it reaches the end of the rear door it sweeps up into an integrated "hook", inherited from the legendary P1800. The highlight continues rearward into a very full powerful section that resolves into the tail lamps.

The roof silhouette contributes to the impression of a car leaning forward - eager to take off. The car is finished with a dynamically sculpted rear to further emphasise its width and muscular stance, with the lower area "blacked out" to achieve an athletic, low and wide look.

The V40 portfolio includes two new exterior colours (Magic Blue and Onyx Black).

Panorama glass roof - an enlightening experience

The Volvo V40 is available with a fixed panorama glass roof that stretches from the front windscreen to the backrest of the rear seats.
