Key facts

• An increase last year to 170 h.p. for the standard 1.9-litre 4-cylinder engine with low pressure twin-scroll turbocharger has made both S40 and V40 outstanding performers. The standard 5-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission means optimum flexibility.
• The standard for safety in their category, the S40 and V40 feature standard driver and front passenger dual-stage airbags and seatbelts with pyrotechnic pre-tensioners, Volvo-designed SIPS Side Impact Protection System with side airbags, WHIPS whiplash protection seating, Volvo-pioneered IC Inflatable Curtain protection and much more.
• A high level of standard equipment sets S40 and V40 apart as premium brand entries, including heated seats, heated power mirrors, headlight wiper/washers, Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), central door locking system with immobilizer and key-integrated remote and alarm, "Home Safe" lighting, and more.
• The S40 and V40 were first introduced to Canada in 2001 but has been a regular feature on European roads since 1995.
