2010 Volvo S40 Review

With suggested retail pricing between $26,200 and $31,350, the 2010 Volvo S40 is sleek and compact, sporty and exciting. It competes with the BMW 328, Volkswagen Passat and Lexus IS 250 as one of the planet's finest sport sedans. It's powered by your choice between a 2.4L 168-horsepower 170 lb-ft I5 base engine and a 2.5L 227-horsepower turbocharged inline-five-cylinder. Purchasers also have their choice between a 6-speed manual and 5-speed Geartronic auto transmission. FWD T5 trims utilize a 5-speed auto, minus the Geartronic technologies. The 168-horse powertrain delivers 31 mpg on the highways while the turbocharged I5 setup travels 28 highway mpg. Talk about maximum fuel economy! The S40 features a 15.9-gallon fuel tank.

Popular features of the Volvo S40 2010 include a 650W premium sound system, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, USB/iPod plug-ins and a floating central console. It's also loaded with standard safety features including:

  • EBD (Electronic Brake Force Distribution);
  • Anti-Skid system;
  • IDIS (Intelligent Driver Information System);
  • BLIS (Blind Spot Information System);
  • DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction Control);
  • SIPS (Side-impact Protection System);
  • WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System);
  • ISOFIX/LATCH child safety system;
  • And many more...

The S40 Volvo 2010 has a 2000-pound maximum towing capacity, 992-pound payload capacity and requires 17.5 feet of radius for turning. Base trims weigh 3273 pounds and clear the ground by 5.3 inches. Just about the same size as a Honda Civic, exterior length, width and height dimensions are reported at 176.2, 69.7 and 57.2 inches respectively. On the inside of the spacious cabin, you will find 39 inches of headroom (37 rear), 55 inches of shoulder room (54 rear), 54 inches of hip room (51 rear) and 41.6 inches of legroom (34.4 rear). The maximum luggage capacity of 14.3 cubic feet is not expandable. Comfortable standard seating is for five adults.

The 2010 Volvo S40 appears and drives like a sports car. Even at top speeds, it remains relaxed and collected. It handles responsibly, accelerates quickly and features big, beefy brakes stop you on a dime. Take a S40 out for a test ride today and see all that it has to offer you!
