The T5 is equipped with 8-speed automatic transmission and the 2015 T5 also comes standard with paddle shifters mounted behind the steering wheel. The V40 T5 is fitted with 17 inch alloy wheels.

“The Volvo V40 will beat out competition flawlessly with its advanced features and sleek design coinciding with the ‘Designed Around You’ strategy summarizing our approach to understanding people” said Emre Karaer, General Manager of Volvo Car Group Middle East & North Africa.

“The car is loaded with features that buyers of modern luxury cars want, it is more than just a compact hatchback; it can be personalized to fit all needs. Most importantly, the V40’s high performance will certainly impress consumers providing connectivity and mobile features which allows them to take control of the car.”

The classic V-shaped bonnet is further enhanced by bolder, expressive lines. The high-gloss grille is low and wide in order to create a sporty, close-to-the-ground feel. The lower opening is surrounded at the corners by sculpted bodywork, stretching from one wheel arch to the other.

The sculptured corners not only add character, they also direct the airflow to improve aerodynamics. Daytime Running Lights are set into the lower corners of the front end, sweeping upward from direct front view. The "blade design" of the front headlights creates an attractive light pattern in the dark.

The interior of the Volvo V40 is designed with a strong emphasis on ergonomics, comfort and an engaging driving experience. The wide instrument panel, together with the fluidity of the door design, creates a spacious, "large-car" feeling. V40 is designed to offer the driver and passengers a spacious and relaxing atmosphere with a true Scandinavian flavor.

The V40 is available with a fully graphic instrument cluster that expresses emotional functionality, always displaying the most important information in any given situation right in front of the driver. The Digital Display theme colours are also echoed in the connected infotainment system Sensus Connect, which is now introduced in the V40.

The starting price of Volvo V40 T5 Sport 2015 is AED 139,900. The standard car comes with 3 years unlimited mileage warranty. Trading Enterprises are offering additional 2 years warranty which extends the warranty up to 5 years and limits warranty to 100,000 kms and free service is offered for 3 years or 60,000 kms.
