In terms of practicality and comfort, Volvo V40 is fully loaded with features. Where the base Kinetic variant comes with distinctive features like TFT display, leather upholstery, City Safety and Pedestrian Airbags, the top end D3 R-Design is equipped with Keyless Drive, Panoramic Sunroof, Rain Sensor, Park Assist Pilot and special R-Design package for exteriors and interiors.

V40 represents a model which is premium in design, features, technology and safety redefining the compact luxury offering in the segment. It is way ahead of the competition when it comes to intelligent accident prevention and mitigation. The car will bring in new impetus to our growth strategy in India.”
