Product Overview
Volvo S40 is an affordable compact sedan in production from 1995 to 2004. It is available with a range of inline-4 petrol and diesel engines that displace from 1.6L to 2.0L.
The Volvo S40 is limited to inline-4, which at the time of its launch would be considered inadequate but which is what most have to live with today.
On the positive side, the S40 was the first car to earn a four star Euro-NCAP safety rating.
