Engines, performance and training
The new Volvo engines are excellent; hopes that the reader is as stable and said it would be a Volvo
The Volvo V40 really the advantage of being based on global platform Ford Focus C acclaimed Ford. This is similar to that used in the current Ford Focus, although there are many engineering measurement Volvo V40 interior to ensure it still feels like a Volvo, not a Ford.

impressive new Volvo engines deftly combines power with economy stand-out operating costs
The new range of Volvo engines really delivers on fuel economy, with outstanding performance across the range. The soloists are D2, D3 and D4 diesel. The average D2 manually excellent 78.5mpg on the combined cycle, emitting just 94g km / CO2: D3 slightly pushes the consumption 74.3mpg. Surprisingly, the D4 also fits this economy 74.3mpg, although its power output of 187 horsepower, which means both D3 and D4 offer the same 99 g / km of CO2.
The choice of an automatic diesel consumption grows a bit, but still impressive. Respectively, D2, D3 and D4 average of 74.3mpg, 70.6mpg and 67.3mpg with an automatic transmission - that is six speeds in the first two and later to eight reports on the D4. This means that all manual diesel comes in VED tax band A, and all diesel engines are in band B.
