Overall rating 4.5/5While the Volvo V40 initially was a compact estate car sold between 1995 and 2004, the name wasn’t used again until 2012, when the V40 became a premium hatchback rivalling the Mercedes A-Class and Volkswagen Golf. Putting a focus on style and safety, the V40 was the first car to feature an airbag in the bonnet that inflates in the event of a collision with a pedestrian, along with the first car in its class to come with autonomous emergency braking as standard.
Volvo also offered the V40 in a sportier-looking R-Design trim level, which was very popular, along with a more rugged Cross Country version. Offered with a wide range of petrol and diesel engines, the V40 was revised in 2016 with a more modern design. The V40 was discontinued in 2019, and no direct replacement has followed on from it.
