Just got this car never had a Volvo I'm really impressed so far lovely car 😀

Had a c30 for 7 years changed to a v40 auto is great the r design is rather low and the rear doors don't open very wide but that's it .I have a 2litre auto ,which I mainly drive in eco mode ,and average over 50mpg of rural and city driving .The car seems so sure footed and safe very light steering when parking good brakes and although mine is just the d2 when you want it to go that auto box lets it fly.Also paint quality is very good and the whole car not one rattle at all very underrated car by the press you seem to have golf glasses on

Excellent review.yes I have perches a Volvo V40 D2 2015 plate.i also driven S40 before but D2 V40 I love the most because it's compact, stylish ,and beautifully designed.

About to purchase Volvo v40 T3 petrol as my first car. Really liking the reviews and car itself looks just perfect. Fingers crossed!

Have a 2014 v40 d2 r design. Possibly the best car I have ever owned. Absolutely love it.

Possibly my next car. Thanks for the review

Really a lot of car for the money; have been the happy owner of a Mercedes SEL-class back in 1998, a C-class in 2005, and just exchanged my BMW 550i with a Volvo XC60 T6 and love it every bit as much as its German rivals. In fact, the combination of capable, comfortable family haulier along with superbly handling, no-nonsense fast mile eater makes it the most versatile car I have yet owner. And the simpler lines and excellent build-quality design, makes it likeable to all who seen and driven it. No, I am not working for Volvo, and continue to be a strong fan for German build cars. They are just too expensive, when there is Volvo!

Volvo.....best car on the road. I already own a 2010 C30 and I love it!!! It's a beauty and so comfortable yet so stylish. It still turns heads. There's 118,000 miles on the clock and I would say it could do the same again. The only problem I have with it is the DPF. It started giving me trouble this year and I've now ordered a V40 R-design. Cannot wait to get my hands on it! There is no other car on the road that incorporates safety, style and value like a Volvo!

T means petrol D means Diesel, lower the number smaller the engine / power. Noting that the biggest engine Volvo have is the D5 and is only a 2 litre. Caught up.

Regardless of all the jokes about Volvo's back in the 70's and 80's (me included). I bought an old 240 back in 2002 as a 'hack' car. Bloody fell in love with the thing didn't I? Had several more 240's over the years and to be different recently purchased a 2003 C70 convertible with low miles and probably the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in. Today I purchased a 2016 V40 D4 Cross Country for my wife and I am going to steal it off her whenever I can - it is the 'ducks guts' as far as Luxury hatches go........Cheers.

Amazing Volvo attitude. I recently purchased Volvo v40. Absolutely love it. And best bit is I'm feeling better knowing my kids are safer in the car

Best car in that price bracket! Love it! Hope volvo doesnt completely change its looks in my2019 model. It might loose its charm... especially from its rear

Informative and fun review, thanks so much. Super helpful.

Driven my R-design from the South of England to South of France where I live, coming back shortly, the City Safety tends to wake you up at the toll booths if approach is a bit quick :) That’s the only time it’s activated. Length of car, I recommend getting used to turning on local roads with high kerb stones - it can and will take out a tyre. Rear view , I have tints and can see very little out the back.. recommend the camera kit. Tyre monitor- does nothing. Other than these observations this cars an absolute pleasure and a bargain. It’s very comfortable on a long journey. I’d like to able to fold the mirrors in for a tight parking spot, but this functionality is not given.

Had the d4 for a month like it alot but not so keen on the steering a bit light for me I also have a focus 08 much more fun to drive but nowhere near as nice.

Moved to the v40 d3 this week from owning more Honda than others. And I'm impressed. However... You might want to note that not ALL models have all the safety kit. Most of it is optional such as the blind spot and queue assist. They do all come with airbags everywhere and city safe but I don't get parking sensors or a camera and mine is the top of the range (at the time) lux nav. Will I go back to Honda? Debatable and that's after 30 years of ownership.

HR in a Car Car Sorry, I think they call it the 'city safe system' it's the sensors mounted at the top of the windscreen. It's actually not centered. I assume this is to keep it out of the LH drivers vision. However once they convert to RHD they don't bother to reposition the system, so it is now in front of the RH driver. I have a MY15 V40 R-design base model, the advert claims 'life is in the details'. Apparently that's not so true for Volvo UK or Aus.

Best Volvo V40 is... Volvo V40 D4.

This is based on the Ford Focus compact body structure

Hey there Richie! Is the interior genuine leather or is a imitation?

Surprised that it isn't available with an electronic handbrake. I know some people don't like them but I do & many "modern cars" do offer this feature as standard.
