Volvo V40 2017 (17) - 2.0 T2 R-Design Nav Plus Hatchback 5dr Petrol Manual Euro 6 (s/s) (122 ps)

Insurance Group 19, 1 Previous Owner, The Volvo V40 is a compact premium hatchback that&039;s been around since 2012 but still remains a popular choice for those looking for a posh-ish badge. It&039;s a fiercely-fought market sector, but brings Swedish cool, a refreshingly left-field image, and the kudos of coming from a car manufacturer that&039;s on the way up. If you&039;re tempted by a V40, it&039;s likely that your shopping list will also contain the Audi A3 Sportback, Volkswagen Golf, Mercedes-Benz A-Class and BMW 1 Series, and all of them are much younger, and packed with much more up-to-date technology. But there are a lot of conservative buyers who like the Volvo&039;s old-fashioed simplicity. It also offers slick styling, a comfortable interior and excellent value - especially when you consider how much safety equipment is available and how it manages to blend an enjoyable drive with impressive comfort. Much in the same way the Volkswagen does.It&039;s really rather good drive, as you&039;d expect from a car that car trace its ancestry back to the second-generation Ford Focus. The V40 flies under the radar compared with its rivals but it feels very similar to the accomplished Volkswagen Golf from behind the wheel. That&039;s to say it&039;s quiet and refined with nicely weighted steering, a comfortable ride even on larger alloy wheels and good body control in the bends. On the motorway it&039;s relaxed and very quiet, and makes for an excellent all-rounder. The only black marks on the move are the restricted visibility when manoeuvring - the windows at the back are quite small and the pillars at the rear of the car are chunky, so it&039;s a good thing parking sensors and cameras are available to assist here.Despite having been around for a while, safety is high on the list with all manner of cutting-edge active systems available as standard or as optional extras. To ensure the greatest pedestrian safety the company has crammed an airbag under the bonnet. This system features a bank of sensors in the front bumper that activates the airbag if it thinks the car is about to hit a pedestrian. Other features include the option of blindspot monitoring (BLIS), lane-keep assist with adaptive cruise control, automatic parking and a suite of airbags around the car. There&039;s Autonomous Emergency Braking, collision warning with adaptive braking, and active LED headlights. Inside there are some nice touches including impressively comfortable seats, a frameless rear-.12V Socket - Front and Rear Tunnel Console, 17in Alloy Wheels - Ixion III - Diamond Cut-Matt Black, A-Pillar Parking Ticket Holder, ABS - Anti-Lock Brake System and EBA - Emergency Brake Assist, Active TFT Crystal Drivers Information Display, Adaptive Brake Lights including High Level LED Brake Light, Adjustable Front Centre Armrest, Anti-Theft Alarm including Immobiliser - Volume Sensor and Level Sensor, Autofolding Power Door Mirrors with Ground Lights, Automatic Headlight Levelling System, Bluetooth Handsfree System, Bursting Blue, City Safety, Cruise Control, DAB - Digital Audio Broadcasting Radio, Drivers Side Knee Airbag, DSTC - Dynamic Stability and Traction Control including Advanced Stability Control and Torque Vectoring, Dual Stage Driver and Passenger Airbags, Dynamic Chassis, ECC - Electronic Climate Control including Pollen Filter, Floor Mats, Frameless Rear View Mirror, Front and Rear Park Assist, Front and Rear Power Windows, Front Centre Armrest with Cupholders and Storage, Front Door Tread Plates, Front Reading - Footwell and Theatre Lights, Front Sports Seats with Additional Side Support, Height Adjustable Tiltable Driver Seat with Lumbar Support, Height and Reach Adjustable Steering Column, Hill Start Assist, Home Safe and Approach Lighting, IC - Inflatable Curtains, IDIS - Intelligent Driver Information System, Illuminated Gear Knob, Illuminated Vanity Mirrors, Information Centre, ISOFIX Attachment - Outer Rear Seats, Key Integrated Remote Control Central Locking including Fuel Flap with Deadlocking System and Auto Open-Close Power Windows, Leather Steering Wheel with Chrome Deco and R-Design Logo, LED Headlights incorporating Day Running Lights, Load Cover - Cargo Area, Lockable Glovebox, Locking Wheel Nuts, Manual Child Locks - Rear Doors, Passenger Airbag Cut-Off Switch, Pedestrian Airbag Technology, R-Design Front Door Tread Plates, R-Design Front Grille, R-Design Lower Front Nose and Rear Diffuser, R-Design Sports - Charcoal, R-Design Twin Exhaust Pipes, Rain Sensor - Automatic Windscreen Wiper Activation, Rear Park Assist, Rear Reading - Theatre and Front Door Side Step Illumination, Rear Seat Armrest and Cupholders, Rear Tailgate Emblem, Roof Spoiler, Sensus Connect with High Performance Sound, Sensus Navigation, Silk Metal Window Trim Surround, Silver Matt Door Mirrors, SIPS - Side Impact Protection System and Dual Chamber SIPS Airbags, Speed Limiter, Speed Sensitive Steering, Sports Pedals and Floor Mats, Stealth Aluminium
