Taken from ENGINES: The Volvo V40 range is available with a wide range of engines that accommodate every motoring need. From the entry-level 1.6 to the potent T4, every engine uses the latest technology to combine low running costs with a high level of performance and refinement. There are six petrol engines in total, including a 1.8i direct-injection petrol unit with 122bhp and low emissions of just 164g/km.

In addition, there are two modern, direct-injection, common rail turbodiesels, boasting 102 and 115bhp. They offer strong performance with low fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. These qualities are also a highlight of the 1.8-litre Bi-Fuel, which runs on gas (LPG) or petrol, and reaffirms Volvo’s commitment to improving the environment.

  • Eight different engine options
  • Four RN-series petrol engines ranging from 109bhp 1.6 to 200bhp T4
  • Direct-injection 1.8i petrol engine with 122bhp and emissions of 164g/km
  • 1.9-litre, direct-injection, common-rail turbodiesel engines with 102bhp or 115bhp
  • Gas/petrol-powered 1.8-litre Bi-Fuel engine reaffirms Volvo’s commitment to improving the environment

The Volvo V40 range is available with a wide range of engines that accommodate every motoring need. From the entry-level 1.6 to the potent T4, every engine uses the latest technologies to combine low running costs with a high level of performance and refinement. The recent addition of Bi-Fuel and common rail turbodiesel models to the range also confirms Volvo’s commitment to protecting the environment and reducing motoring costs.

With the exception of the 1.8i direct injection unit, all the petrol engines have four cylinders and belong to Volvo’s ‘RN’ family. They feature an aluminium block and twin cam cylinder head, with four-valves per cylinder and centrally mounted spark plugs. Recent revisions to the engine management systems have also resulted in lower emissions and improved economy, making them particularly attractive to company car drivers seeking to reduce their tax burden.

The entry-level 1587cc engine offers power of 109bhp and 145Nm of torque, delivering adequate performance – 0-62mph takes 12.0sec – with a Combined consumption of 36.7mpg. The 1783cc version achieves 36.2mpg on the same cycle but an increase in power and torque to 122bhp and 170Nm respectively, resulting in improved performance and a 0-62mph time of 10.5sec.

The most powerful normally-aspirated engine in this range is the 1948cc (2.0) unit, which develops 136bhp and 190Nm. When equipped with the five-speed manual gearbox, it offers 0-62mph in 9.7sec and reaches 127mph, with an average fuel consumption of 34.9mpg on the Combined cycle.

The two turbocharged, 2.0T and T4, 2.0-litre petrol engines share this blueprint, but add continuously variable valve timing (CVVT), which operates on the exhaust cam and helps to minimise emissions, especially when the engine is cold. The system works by allowing the camshafts to be turned by up to 20 degrees, making it possible to vary the timing between the inlet and outlet phases of the unit. By closing the inlet valves earlier in relation to the opening of the outlet valves, higher torque is generated at lower speeds.

The 2.0T variant uses a low-pressure turbo fitted to the familiar 1948cc engine. It develops 163bhp and 240Nm of torque, which powers the Volvo V40 from rest to 62mph in 8.5sec and on to 137mph. The performance flagship of the range, though, is the T4, which employs a more efficient twin scroll turbocharger, combining dramatic performance with near instantaneous throttle response. The 1984cc engine produces a mighty 200bhp and 300Nm of torque, propelling the Volvo V40 T4 from 0-62mph in just 7.3sec and on to 146mph. But despite its performance potential, the Volvo V40 T4 still manages an average of 31.7mpg, while the 2.0T returns 35.8mpg.
