A Brief History
The Volvo S40, sold alongside the V40 and V50 estates, entered the market as a compact car in 1995. Although it shares a platform with the Mitsubishi Carisma, the S40 is unique, with 4,000 distinct parts crafted by Volvo and an additional 650 parts produced by the company itself.
Enhancements and Awards
Five years post-launch, the S40 underwent a facelift and received technical upgrades, including enhanced brake disks and refined suspension components. The track width was also widened slightly, resulting in the Phase II models. These featured various engine options, including a 1.9-liter diesel and petrol engines ranging from 1.6 to 2.0 liters.
In 2004, Volvo introduced a new S40 model built on the P1 platform. It was nominated for the 2005 World Car of the Year and won the Canadian Car of the Year Best New Sport Compact award, as well as the South African Car of the Year.
Specifications

Located at the front, this engine drives the front wheels.
