Already varied range of Volvo V40 host of new variants in May: an entry-level petrol engine, T2, and a four-wheel drive variant for additional adventurer Cross Country.

Initially, the V40 Cross Country has chosen to reserve the AWD at its muscular engine, five-cylinder T5 petrol 254 bhp. Hence a minimum sum of € 40,250, excluding CO2 penalty of € 5,000. Not ideal for reaching the greatest number.
Fortunately, as of May, the four-wheel drive will also be offered on a more modest mechanics. This is the T4, which is a four-cylinder petrol 1.6 Turbo 180 hp on the rest of the range ... but becomes a five-cylinder 2.0 on this same power AWD variant. This time, the bill should approach the € 32,000, while the "environmental" tax will be more reasonable. However, the AWD remains incompatible with diesel: a handicap against the BMW 1 Series and Audi A3.

For the best deal, the "classic" V40 adopt the same period, a new petrol unit input range, called T2. Deflated, the 1.6 Turbo direct injection only like 120 hp. Fortunately, he still has 240 Nm of torque. Rather than performance, however, he prefers to talk about consumption: 5.3 l/100 km with and 124 g / km of CO2, there will be no penalty to fear. But Volvo has also revised the small diesel D2, which falls to 88 g / km of CO2 to enjoy a bonus of € 550, and can now be combined with an automatic transmission. As for the new multimedia system with touch screen and Internet connection make, Sensus Connected Touch, he landed in his lap in the V40.
