    Check out the full Volvo V40 review here: www.carkeys.co...
    Occupying the lavish and luxurious part of the hatchback market, the V40 competes against premium hatches like the BMW 1 Series and Audi A3.
    As well as offering luxury, Volvo’s smallest model also aims to offer class-leading safety and impressive efficiency.
    We take the V40 D2 R-Design Nav Plus out for a spin to see how efficient and luxurious it really is.
    In this review, we take an in-depth look at the interior of the Volvo V40 including its boot size, dashboard and back seats. We then run through performance, price and finish up with the all-important verdict - is the Volvo V40 a good car?
    Constantly updated, Car Keys provides first-hand video reviews, as well as all of the latest car news.

    Volvo is very underrated in my opinion, lovely cars, put together well and a little less mainstream than the default BMW or Audi. Having owned all three brands, Volvo is my favourite. It's a shame they depreciate quicker than their rivals though.

      Completely agree with you that Volvo is underrated. Compare the V40 with Merc A-class ,Audi A3 ,BMW 1 series and in almost all areas it is better than them.

      When I had my A3, I lost £6k from new in 3 years. I traded it in for a C30 when they first came out and lost £11.5k in just over 18 months - gutted to say the least!

      Neil Jones Weird. It seems like the V40s are putting up more of fight though! I'm looking for a used one at the moment and out of the Mercedes a class, a3 and golf the Volvo is more expensive for a decent spec one.

    too many speed cameras and too much traffic have taken away the 'fun' factor of driving now so its got to be comfort, economy and practicality..this is a great car high on my list of next car to buy.

    • @vaibhavchaudhary27
      @vaibhavchaudhary27 8 років тому

      Yes, I did. The V40's a likeable car for its safety and modest looks alone. But if you wanted a more engaging drive and overall better car, the Audi A3 is more appealing, in my opinion.

    I completely disagree with the lack of fun in the V40. I’ve driven a BMW 3 series, VW Golf an an Audi A3 and this is easily as fun to drive as the faster variants of these cars (at least in R Design). The gear box isn’t notchy at all and feels better than the BMW, although the clutch isn’t quite as slick as in the German cars. Plus, the Volvo’s suspension is far quieter than the Beemer.
    Granted, the steering isn’t as good as the BMW, but it’s good enough.
    I’m sure these reviews tell people what they want to hear rather what they should hear.

      Car Keys UK I personally wouldnt have one as I prefer larger Volvo's however my girlfriend wants one because she wants a solid, safe smaller motorway car. When it comes to Safety, Volvo have always gone the extra mile so is worth the premium price these V40s command

    Hey, because the V40 is based on the ford focus I wonder if it's much less fun to drive? if you have driven both, are they really that much different? because all I hear from the Focus is that it's great to drive
