Overview & Reviews
The 2008 Volvo S40 receives significant changes. Styling has been refined and the interior's center console redesigned to increase storage space. Although the base 2.4-liter engine is left untouched, the turbocharged T5 gains nine additional horses for a grand total of 227. An auxiliary input jack is now standard on all S40s, while T5 models gain a standard upgraded sound system with satellite radio. Active bi-xenon headlamps are now an option on the T5, while Volvo's Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) technology is an option on all S40s. The all-wheel-drive T5 is now only available with an automatic transmission.
