The Volvo V40 Cross Country meets the needs of the most demanding driver. We also like the fact that it has a good combination of stylish exterior and interior and a wondeful drivetrain. Its fuel efficient 1.6-litre powerplant puts out a potent 180bhp and 240Nm of torque, which gives it a decent helping of straight line speed.
Sharp handling manners also mean it won't disappoint the keen drivers. Being a Volvo, it also features a range of class-leading systems including the world's first Pedestrian Airbag technology.

The Volvo V40 is one of the most underrated cars around.» Read More
Despite being around since 2013, it still looks excellent and relevant today, without any significant changes throughout the years.
The interior looks slightly dated compared to the new technology of touch-screens, but the functions that are available are on par with what new cars offer, and are easy and intuitive to access and use.
The car also comes with a lot of Safety functions - both electronically and mechanically. Structurally the Volvo enhance safety of the occupants by including the Whiplash Protection System, Side Impact Protection System etc. New cars of today pay a lot of attention to safety features but lack the structural quality to withstand impacts in the event of an actual accident.
Coming from an Audi, quality of the interior is superb. Honestly, I feel that the Volvo V40's interior quality is equal or better in many areas compared to the Germans.
This car is fantastic value for money, now that they are only available in the used car market. Depreciation is about the same as Japanese cars, but one gets so much more out of the dollar.
0-100km/hr in 6.9s for latest T4 engine. Simply a pleasure to drive. -
A joy to drive daily. Power comes when you need it. Handling is crisp and sharp. Comfortable for the whole family. Plenty of storage for a week of groceries. Only downside is that shift change not as smooth as DSG. But you get a lot of airbags for protection. Premium quality.» Read More

nice out of box experience. Choice of colors not that wide.
The pricing option is very confusing on the newspaper -
