Volvo V40 awarded China NCAP Five stars

New Volvo V40 prices announced


Volvo has announced more details of its new V40, which is aimed squarely at the new Audi A3 and BMW 1 Series. Prices start at £19,745 for the ES 115bhp diesel, rising to just under £27,000 for the 180bhp SE Lux (petrol and diesel have the same power and price). In a sign of the times, there is no entry-level petrol model: it’s the 150bhp turbocharged 1.6 litre from the Ford Focus Ecoboost or nothing.
