The Volvo S40 is a compact executive car that has a British pedigree. Its first generation, launched in 1995, the first models to be launched under the direction of Peter Horbury, a British who was designated Volvo’s design director. There are two versions in this first generation, the S40 saloon and the V40 estate or station wagon. The estate was replaced by the V50 station wagon in 2004 when the second Volvo S40 generation was launched.
The S40 first-generation cars came with four-cylinder engine options: 2.0l (1948 cc), 2.0T (1948 cc), 1.9 T4 (1855 cc), 1.8 (1731 cc) or 1.6 (1588 cc) fuel-injected gasoline engines or a 1.9L turbo diesel engine. The second-generation S40s already have imprints of Ford Motor which acquired Volvo Cars in the late 1990s. These later S40s contained mechanical components similar to those found in the European Ford Focus. These S40s are powered by Volvo’s latest 2.5L five-cylinder engines.
