2013 Volvo V40 Teased Ahead of Geneva Motor Show Debut
Volvo has released a teaser image the upcoming 2013 V40, which will debut at next month’s Geneva Auto Show.
The five-door sedan is designed to angle in on BMW’s 1-Series and Audi’s A3 Sportback. We’re still waiting for specific details like pricing, the chance for a U.S. release and definite engine specs, but an article we ran in December suggested that several engines might be offered.
Those could include a 1.6-liter four-cylinder with 120, 150 or even 180 horsepower and a diesel 1.6-liter or 2.0 liter as well. The new V40 will be 175 inches long and run on a stretched-out version of the C30 platform.
We’ll be reporting from Geneva next month, bringing you the latest details as they emerge.
