The VOLVO V40 (2012-16) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.5 T2 SS 122 EU6 ES GTRON AUTO6 is a compact five-door family hatchback, offering a more premium feel than many everyday small cars. Its petrol engine and automatic gearbox make it an appealing choice for drivers who want straightforward, relaxed motoring in town and on longer journeys. In the UK market, it sits alongside the Audi A3, BMW 1 Series and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
