Volvo S40
AB Volvo or Aktiebolaget Volvo is a world-leading Swedish manufacturer of commercial vehicles, trucks, buses and construction equipment, drive systems for marine and industrial applications, aerospace components and financial services. AB Volvo was founded August 10, 1926 in the city of Gothenburg, as a spin-off from roller ball bearing maker SKF, Svenska Kullagerfabriken AB. Volvo Cars, the automobile manufacturer, has been owned by the Ford Motor Company since 1999.
The Volvo S40, V40 and V50 are compact luxury cars and small family cars produced by Volvo Cars. There have been two generations, the first launched in 1995 and the second one in 2004. Volvo S40 is the smallest and most reasonable car in the Volvo lineup. The Volvo S40 2.4i comes with a naturally aspirated 2.4-liter inline five-cylinder rated for 168 horse power and 170 pound-feet of torque. Buyers can choose either a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic to go with it. The T5 gets a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline five that makes 218 horse power and 236 pound-feet of torque. In addition to the automatic, the T5 is eligible for a six-speed manual gearbox.
The compact Volvo S40 car comes in 2.4i and T5 versions; 2.4i is front-wheel drive only, while T5 are available with all-wheel drive as well. The 2.4i comes with 16-inch alloy wheels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with telescope adjustment, a CD, compact disc player and heated mirrors. In addition to a more powerful engine, the T5 adds front and rear spoilers, faux wood interior trim, foglights, automatic climate control, a power driver seat and a trip computer, all of which are optional on the 2.4i.
The interior of the 2006 Volvo S40 is exclusive and styled to appeal to a young audience. The first thing you will notice is the ultra slim center stack, which has a distinct Scandinavian design and permits for more storage up front. The ergonomically designed seats are available in different upholstery types, and adults will find sufficient legroom in both the front and rear.
The four-wheel antilock disc brakes and traction control are standard on all S40 models. All models include both front-seat side-impact airbags and full-length head-curtain airbags, along with whiplash reducing seats and seat belt pre-tensioners in all outboard positions. Volvo S40 is a car where you will find comfort, space and an incomparable style at the same time providing high efficiency and durable performance.
