Safe, fun and elegant hatchback
Scandinavian excellence is very clearly represented in the Volvo V40, I experienced it in a number of the derivatives that this Premium Hatchback is available in.
Test-driving the Volvo V40 was enthralling; a week was not long enough for me to get to know all the subtle nuances of this extraordinary vehicle. There is so much packed into the V40, features and characteristics that Volvo has borrowed from their larger saloon models and incorporated into this dynamic hatchback.
This is not your ordinary hatchback, the V40 is crammed with driver assist programs like Lane Keeping Aid with auto steering and Volvo Car Corporation’s groundbreaking Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake. Considered one of the safest cars in the world, the Volvo V40 just recently recorded the best results ever recorded by the Euro NCAP collision testing facility. Of course the V40 walked away with a full Five Star Safety Rating. Besides the phenomenal build quality and the exceptional in car info and entertainment, what impressed me most about this car was the way it handled.
Precise control is the term that most describes the way the Volvo V40 feels, even under extreme duress and in punishing conditions. There is something unique in this car, test it and see for yourself.
