Poor Volvo. Waiting for Geneva
2012 to unveil their latest baby beauty to the public, until some evil
entity (probably a disgruntled
employee) leaked the car on the internet. This then ladies and gents, is the
all-new Volvo V40, a car with great future
ambitions.
These ambitions include unseating,
or at least competing on a level
playing field with current market leaders, namely the Audi A3 and BMW 1 Series.
The is also the Lexus CT 200H to
contend with, as well as the upcoming Mercedes-Benz A-Class. Big, well-respected names. But Volvo is up to the task with its entry-level notchback.
Save from being priced keenly against these rivals, we also
expect it to be powered by some serious turbo
engines. They include a 1.6-litre
with 132kW and a 2.0-litre making 177kW, as well as some turbo diesel D3
and D5 models, the former pulling a stunning
400Nm of torque.
An official announcement may be made prior to the Geneva Show, failing which you will
hear more about this car when it’s publically unveiled there. It should land in Mzansi before the end of 2012.

pretty car and the engines sound like they the bomb
Looks to me like a V50 station wagon. I don't know, I don't see much difference even interior is like the S60 in my eyes. Are those good or bad things? We'll see.
lekka man
I'd probably buy it maybe over the A3 but not over the 1
