Despite having both a predisposition to liking Volvo's combined with fairly low expectations of what this car could be capable of, the V40 R-Design somehow managed to disappoint me overall. Its not slow, or necessarily bad in any particular way, but something about it just doesn't quite come together for me...
''The V40 was revealed at the 2012 Geneva show as a C-segment 5 door hatchback. Though it was positioned as Volvo's entry level model, the V40 would actually play a huge role in the Volvo catalogue as it served as the combined replacement for 3 different models; the conventional S40 saloon, the V50 family estate, and the sporty C30 3 door hatchback.
To create a car that could provide the comfort of a saloon, the utility of an estate and the youthful, sporty styling of a coupe, the car was developed completely from scratch.
While the base structure utilized a platform in common with Ford cars, the styling is innovative and has no trace of Volvo's conservative image of the past. Incorporating design cues from the classic P1800 of the 60s and its later 1800ES variant, the car has flowing lines and a soulful silhouette that can be interpreted as a coupe or an estate. The car was an immediate hit from its debut, attracting worldwide attention for both its aesthetics and utility, able to comfortably seat 4 adults along with their luggage.
The T5 R Design is the sportiest model of the series. Its 210.1 BHP 2L inline-5 turbocharged engine provides quick acceleration performance, and its sports suspension and 18 inch wheels provide both sharp handling and a smooth ride. The special front bumper and rear diffuser provide additional aerodynamic performance, as well as giving it a bold look.''
