The 2004 2005 Volvo V40
wagon and the S40 sedan both come with the same level of safety features as the
other Volvo models, but are Volvo's smallest and most affordable wagon and
sedan. The 2004 2005 Volvo V40 sedan and V40 wagon are endowed with more
horsepower, sharing a turbo 4-cyl engine with 170 hp with a 5-speed automatic
transmission.
As part of the renowned
2004 2005 Volvo safety armamentarium comes the standard torso front side
airbags, curtain side airbags, and antilock 4-wheel disc brakes. The optional
Volvo V40 Cold Weather Package includes traction control. A sunroof, leather
upholstery, and rear child-booster seats are other options. Leather upholstery,
a spoiler, fog lights, and unique interior trim, and 16-inch wheels can be
yours in the Sport Package option. Teat drive a 2004 2005 Volvo V40 and you
will see for yourself why our 2004 2005 Volvo V40 review is so positive about
the economy class Volvos.
Linked to a standard 2004
2005 Volvo V40 automatic transmission, all new V40's are equipped with a
turbocharged 170-horsepower 1.9-liter four-cylinder engine. As with other
Volvos, safety is one of the V40's greatest assets. Every vehicle comes with an
extensive menu of airbags, including Inflatable Curtain (IC) head-protection
airbags for front and rear passengers, side airbags for front passengers and
the usual dual-stage front airbags.
Additional crash
protection for the 2004 2005 Volvo V40 comes from whiplash-reducing front seats
and seatbelt pre-tensioners. Four-wheel antilock disc brakes are standard
throughout the line, while stability control is available as part of the
climate package. No crash tests have been performed on the V40, but the S40
merits a "good" rating in the 2004 2005 Volvo V40 tests carried out by IIHS for
frontal offset crash.
Included in the affordable price, the base 2004 2005 Volvo V40 offers features
such as automatic climate control and a CD player. There are numerous new Volvo
V40 individual features like power seats and leather trim, and option packages,
such as a climate package which includes stability control and heated front
seats. For those who want the whole enchilada, the 2004 2005 V40 Premium
package adds a sunroof, an enhanced audio system, power driver seat, simulated
wood grain appointments, leather upholstery and a trip computer. The driving
enthusiast will enjoy the new Volvo V40 Sport package which offers front and
rear spoilers, aluminum interior accents, leather/cloth-upholstered sport seats
and 16-inch wheels.
