2010 VOLVO S40 Fun Facts
The Volvo S40, V40 and V50 are entry-level luxury cars/compact executive cars produced by Volvo Cars. There have been two generations, the first launched in 1995 and the second one in 2004. The last one is listed by Forbes as one of the best luxury cars for young affluent drivers. The 1995 S40 saloon (sedan) and V40 estate (wagon) were built in the Netherlands at the NedCar factory, a pre-Ford joint venture between Volvo and Mitsubishi Motors.

Introduced in the middle of the 2004 model year, the second generation S40 (known as the 2004.5 Volvo S40) introduced a new design based on the Volvo P1 platform built at the Volvo Cars factory in Ghent, Belgium. For 2007, Volvo's S-range continues to be offered in three versions: The value-leading S40 2.4i, the performance-oriented S40 T5 and the all-weather S40 T5 AWD. All models are now fitted with Volvo's Dynamic Stability Traction Control (DSTC) as standard equipment. Other changes include further simplified package and option structure with new features such as auxiliary input and MP3 playback capability and Sirius Satellite Radio.
