2004 Volvo Brand Buyer's Guide, New Car Reviews
by Bob Plunkett

2004 Volvo S40/V40

2004 Volvo S40/V40

Volvo's compacts consist of the S40 sedan and V40 wagon, each exhibiting styling points that look similar to the flagship sedan only in a smaller scale.

A new Limited Sport Edition Package appears in tints of Black Sapphire, Virtual Blue or Silver. The kit adds spoilers front and rear, leather lining seats and steering wheel, chromium rings around gauges in the instrument panel, stainless steel scuff plates and a power moonroof.

For power, an aluminum four-cylinder engine displaces 1.9 liters and achieves 170 hp. Extensive features for safety and security go into these smallest Volvos, such as frontal air bags plus seat-mounted side air bags.
