VOLVO S40 (1996-04) 4DR SALOON 2.0 XS REV 00
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The VOLVO S40 (1996-04) 4DR SALOON 2.0 XS REV 00 is an older, compact four-door saloon: a sensible alternative to a hatchback for buyers wanting a separate boot and a more formal, grown-up look. In the UK it sits between mainstream family cars and premium compact saloons, with Volvo’s safety-minded reputation adding appeal.
Well suited to commuters, couples and small families, the 2.0-litre S40 offers a comfortable daily drive and useful boot space. Its understated styling and safety-minded image are classic Volvo traits. Against the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4, it is a discreet, comfort-focused choice; age and condition matter greatly today.
