V40
The V40 was designed by American Chris Benjamin, the interior is the work of Pontus Fontaeus, and was the last Volvo to be designed under Peter Horbury, before he moved to Volvo's parent Geely.[5]
It is built on the Global C platform with modifications to the electric power steering, and revised spring and damper settings.[4]
The engine lineup in Volvo models, with two petrol engines; a 1.6 litre EcoBoost I4 producing either 150 or 180 hp, dependent on specification, and a 2.5 litre Volvo B525 I5 producing 254 hp, and two diesel engines; a 1.6 litre PSA Peugeot Citroen / Ford Duratorq engine, which produces 115 hp, whilst only emitting 94 g/km of CO2,[6] and a 2.0 litre I5 Volvo diesel engine available in two versions, 150 hp and 177 hp.[7] In some countries, the V40 T5 uses a 2.0 litre I5 (B5204T9) producing 213 hp @6000 rpm and 300 nm from 2,700 to 5,000 rpm.
From the model year of 2014, Volvo has begun fitting its in house developed Drive E (VEA) diesel and petrol engines to the V40. As of January 2015, these engines are available in the new V40 D4 (replacing the previous five cylinder D4) and V40 T5 (replacing the petrol five cylinder T5).
From 2015, Volvo introduced a new D2 engine with a 2.0 litre engine producing 120HP. Also available is the IntelliSafe safety precrash system. From 2014, Volvo has fitted their new in house developed Drive-E (VEA) engines to some models in the range of the V40.
Available in both the V40 and V40 Cross Country bodies, the D4 Drive E includes a four cylinder twin turbo diesel engine rated 190 PS (140 kW; 187 hp) and 400 N⋅m (295 lb⋅ft), a six speed manual transmission tuned for improved fuel economy, pressure feedback from each fuel injector, reduced friction, and a smart valve solution on the cooling system for a more rapid heat up phase after a cold start.
The T5 Drive-E includes a four cylinder turbo petrol engine rated 243 PS (179 kW; 240 hp) and 350 N⋅m (258 lb⋅ft), with eight speed automatic transmission.[8][9]
These new engines replace the older, but identically branded, five cylinder engines.
