The VOLVO S40 (2004-07) 4DR SALOON 2.4 170 SPORT is a compact four-door saloon, offering a more traditional alternative to the hatchbacks and family cars common in the UK used market. Its tidy size makes it easier to manage around town, while the Sport trim and larger petrol engine give it a more purposeful feel. It suits commuters, couples and small families wanting a comfortable everyday car with a little more power than many compact saloons. Compared with popular rivals such as the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4, the S40 is a smaller, practical choice, with Volvo’s understated styling and reputation for prioritising safety among its appeal.
