As with most things in life, the best products take what seems a complicated bunch of requirements and reduce them to something very simple and elegant. The Volvo V40 is just such a car. We're looking at the model that was first launched in 2012, though the focus here is on the versions produced in the 2014 to 2016 period, a time when the Swedish brand was gradually introducing its own 'Drive-E' engine technology. If you can stretch to one of these slightly later models and get yourself a variant fitted with one of the Drive-E engines, you'll get yourself a very complete premium compact hatch indeed, a car that looks great, drives well, has an amazing amount of safety equipment built in and makes sense on the balance sheet too. Let's check this car out thoroughly as a used market proposition.

Own T4 AWD, and I have zero regrets about buying it. It has character, good looking and fun to drive

Good call I’ve had my 2016 red D4 8 speed auto with winter pack for 6 years and love it. Polestar optimised 60mpg 0-60 under 7 seconds. Free satnav updates from Volvo too! Enjoy

The T5 requires regular motor mount replacement. Also it seems to require battery replacement every two years. On our 3rd battery

Just about to get a 2012 “lesser diesel engine “ but still will be more comfortable than my AYGO FOR MY ADVANCING YEARS. Not too sure about all the controls but hopefully it’ll cope with its already 136,000 miles well. I’ll let you know how it goes.

My wife drive since 6 years a XC 60 D5 and I bought 2 weeks ago my second car, a....petrol V40 T2 ( the same like in link). 30000 km from 2019 momentum, exactly like in the link. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kJqWq86oudLKlIE.html From Volvo service in Hamburg, price 17600€. The car is exactly what I need, the 2ltr engine has best torque between 1100-3500!and by 3500 I drive 170 km/h. The difference between T3 and T2 is very small. The T2 is a T3 with blockade in the Software and the difference on the street is really minimal, only by high speed. The T4 is a perfectly car, but costs a lot more and I fand very few offers, bad offers with 70000 km and more. The T2 drives a little like D3, possibly better, really. It consumes 6 liters with normal driving and 7 with a sporty driving style. Is very...not mega elastic, you can change gears whenever you want.

Sits on a ford platform, and a ford ecoboom engine in the line up, and those rear lights look close to those used on later focus models, car even designed externally by a ford engineer so how much is it a volvo ?

OK you've done an excellent job of convincing me that this is the ultimate hatchback car to purchase. Not sure about all of the technical bits but what a car. I was going to buy the Audi a3 but this car is far superior in many ways and cheaper on the used car market by age alone. Thank you so much for this brilliant review despite me only just viewing it, although I have seen some of your reviews before and as always very entertaining and more importantly informative.

The halogen lights are very costly with high voltage power supplies required. I would expect the upgrade cost with wire harnesses would be cost prohibitive
