VOLVO V40 (2012-16) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 D3 DPF SS 150 EU5 ES 6SPD

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The VOLVO V40 (2012-16) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 D3 DPF SS 150 EU5 ES 6SPD is a premium five-door hatchback competing with the Volkswagen Golf, Audi A3 and BMW 1 Series in the UK market. Smart styling and a practical cabin feel more refined than a basic runabout, without an SUV’s bulk.
Its 2.0-litre D3 diesel provides useful motorway pace, while stop-start technology is designed to limit fuel use. It suits commuters, couples and small families who cover regular longer motorway journeys; the five-door layout is versatile, though drivers making mostly short city trips may find a petrol model more suitable.
