Volvo V40 facelift 2016 1.5 T2 (122 Hp) Geartronic Restricted
People\'s Opinion
N/A / 5
facelift 2016 Overview:
Volvo V40 (facelift 2016). With 220 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~7.2 l/100km). Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 9.8 s). The top speed reaches 190 km/h. A compact car with a rear door that swings upward to provide access to the cargo area. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.

An entry-level petrol engine offering adequate performance for city driving, but can feel strained on highways. The Geartronic automatic provides smooth shifts.
