VOLVO V40 CROSS COUNTRY: MZANSI PRICES REVEALED

Already confirmed for launch in South Africa in March this year, the new Volvo V40 Cross Country looks set to be the sexiest small Volvo yet. And thanks to their generous PR department, we now have prices to go with it as well.

The V40 Cross Country is not to be confused with Volvo’s XC models, which are more rugged. Cross Country is quite urban, but features elevated seating positions. They are what one would call all-road versions of the wagons and hatches. As such, the V40 Cross Country has a 40mm higher ride height than the normal V40, with wheels of up to 19-inches, a honeycomb mesh front grille, and daytime running lights among others.

Four engine models will arrive here in March. The diesels are D3 and D4 types, both displacing 2.0-litres. D3 makes 110kW and 350Nm of torque, while the D4 is good for 130kW and 400Nm, returning 5.2 litres per 100km.

The two petrols, a T4 and T5, look quite strong on paper. T4 runs a 1.6-litre GTDi motor making 132kW and 270Nm, and bigger sibling T5 is a 2.5-litre turbo worth 187kW and 400Nm.
