Volvo’s new V40 hatch model will be on show at the Geneva motor show in march and will display several of the latest design changes that the company has made. In a market segment that includes the Audi A3, 1 Series BMW and several others Volvo are putting high hopes on cracking this area with hopefully a similar sucess for mainstream sales as with the C30 model. Out goes the S40 and V50 vehicles and the free production space has been left to take up the slack and will arrive in the Euro markets for May/June and the UK for Sept. Those consdiering a purchase will have a choice of 6 engines that include the 254bhp Turbocharged five cylinder petrol that achieve 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds or even a choice of two different 1.6 litre 4 pot Turbo models direct from Ford that allow 150bhp or 180bhp. Always a torch carrier for safety – Volvo will add a pedestrian airbag to the cars bonnet which could set the standard for vehicle safety for years to come and will provide a soft, cushioned impact area that also pops the modV40′s bonnet on impact. The Volvo V40 will also use the same platform that is used with the Ford Focus but adjusted to suit Volvos preferences. An entry level mode to be funded by a Bad Credit Car Loan is goingt o cost a touch above £19k and for this the driver will benefit from a full Bluetooth system along with a Pedestrian airbag.
