The Volvo S40 is a series of subcompact executive cars marketed and produced by the Swedish manufacturer Volvo Cars from 1995 to 2012, offered as a more mainstream alternative to the compact executive Volvo 850 and later the Volvo S60 to compete in a lower pricing bracket. The S40 was more or less positioned against premium-leaning small family cars like the Volkswagen Jetta as well as some mass-market large family cars.

The first generation (1995–2004) was introduced in 1995 with the S40 (S from saloon) and V40 (V from versatility, estate) cars.

The second generation was released in 2003, and the estate variant became differentiated from the sedan, having its name changed to V50.

The range was replaced by the Volvo V40 five door hatchback in 2012.

During August 1995, Volvo released its new series, with the intention of calling the cars S4{{cite web |language=en |url=https://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/news-abbott-mead-wins-euro-volvo-launch/21687 |title=NEWS: Abbott Mead wins Euro Volvo launch |author=John Tylee |date=10 November 1995 |access-date=2018-01-03 }}{{cite web |language=en |url=http://www.autonews.com/article/19950904000100/ANA/509040747?template=print&AID=/19950904/ANA/509040747 |title=Shake up at Volvo | first = Diana T. | last = Kurylko |website=www.autonews.com |date=4 September 1995 |access-date=2018-01-03 }} and F4.{{cite web |language=en |url=https://www.volvoclub.org.uk/press/pdf/presskits/1996MY-PressKit.pdf |title=Volvo Model Year Range 1996 |publisher=Volvo Car UK Ltd. |page=3 |date=October 1995 |access-date=2018-01-06 }} However, as Audi had already reserved the "S4" name, Volvo opted to name the range S40 (saloon), and V40 (estate).{{cite web |language=sv |url=http://www.automotorsport.se/artiklar/nyheter/20100922/audi-s1-var-nara-mycket-nara |title=Audi S1 var nära, mycket nära |trans-title=The Audi S1 was close, very close |author=Av Redaktionen |work=Auto, Motor & Sport |date=22 September 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170909233239/http://www.mestmotor.se/automotorsport/artiklar/nyheter/20100922/audi-s1-var-nara-mycket-nara |archive-date=2017-09-09 |access-date=2018-01-06 |url-access=limited |url-status=live}} These cars were manufactured at the Nedcar factory at Born in the Netherlands (a pre Ford joint venture between Volvo and Mitsubishi Motors) and based on a common platform with the Mitsubishi Carisma, later used by the Proton Waja. They were also the last Volvos to be produced at the Born plant; a lineage that had begun in the early 1970s with Volvo's collaboration with DAF that had led to the Volvo 66 and the Volvo 300 series.

In the United Kingdom, it cost approximately 50% more than the related Mitsubishi Carisma. The car helped change perceptions of Volvo: "The S40/V40 range was the car that finally persuaded buyers that Volvo really could build a credible compact executive car", reported the RAC.{{cite web | work = RAC Drive | publisher = 2017 RAC Motoring Services | title = Volvo S40 (1996 - 2004) used car review | url = http://www.rac.co.uk/drive/car-reviews/volvo/s40/207816/ | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170426050615/http://www.rac.co.uk/drive/car-reviews/volvo/s40/207816 | archive-date = 2017-04-26 | first = Jonathan | last = Crouch | date = 2005-11-15 }} For the 2000 model year, Volvo expanded the S40/V40's market to North America, where this range went on sale exclusively with the 1.9 liter turbo.{{cite web |language=en |url=https://consumerguide.com/used/2000-04-volvo-s40v40/ |title=2000-2004 Volvo S40/V40 |publisher=Consumer Guide Automotive |website=www.consumerguide.com |date=28 July 2014 |access-date=2021-09-28 }}

The V40, with a drag coefficient of 0.32,{{cite press release |language=en |url=https://www.volvoclub.org.uk/press/volvo2003uk/v40/V40_Fulldoc.pdf |title=Volvo V40 model year 2003 |publisher=Volvo Car UK Ltd. |page=4 |date=2003 |access-date=2018-01-06 }} was the first whole model to be introduced under the direction of the British designer Peter Horbury, Volvo’s design director, and was marketed in Australia, South America and the Far East. The V40 was named the "Most Beautiful Estate Car in the World" at an Italian award ceremony. The official premiere was at the Frankfurt Motor Show, in September 1995, with the V40 premiering in December 1995, at the Bologna Motor Show.{{cite web |language=en |url=https://www.media.volvocars.com/global/en-gb/media/pressreleases/10669/1990-1999-a-historical-review |title=1990 – 1999: A historical review |publisher=Volvo Car Corporation |website=www.media.volvocars.com |date=8 January 2000 |access-date=2018-01-06 }}

In July 2000, Volvo updated the 40 Series ("Phase II"),{{cite web |url=http://redbook.com.au/used-cars/details.aspx?R=108929&__Qpb=1&Cr=14&__Ns=p_Make_String%7c0%7c%7cp_ClassificationType_String%7c0%7c%7cp_Family_String%7c0%7c%7cp_Year_String%7c1%7c%7cp_SequenceNum_Int32%7c0&__N=2994%204294938350%204294842675%204294965872&silo=1300&seot=1&__Nne=15&trecs=16&__sid=1339F586246E |title=Redbook |publisher=Redbook |access-date=2011-11-13}} implementing a number of technical improvements, including improved engine management, diesel direct fuel injection, extra safety features, larger brake discs, new front suspension and steering, revised rear suspension, larger tyres and a wider track.

A minor facelift gave more streamlining, slightly different front wings and front bumper, and larger front indicators, as well as minor instruments and fascia redesign.

In late 2002 there was a subtle update to the range.{{cite web | url=https://www.media.volvocars.com/global/en-gb/media/pressreleases/5200 | title=Volvo S40 and V40: improving ambience and practicality in equal measure }} On the outside there was a new "egg crate" style grille and colour-keyed trim mouldings. Inside, there was a three-spoke steering wheel and new instruments with four dials. Other changes include improved fuel economy, new side-impact curtain airbags, updated seats and a new key with integrated remote.

The 40 Series cars were equipped with four-cylinder engines, such as a Renault-sourced 1.9 turbo diesel or 1.6 (1587 cc), 1.8 (1731 cc, later increased to 1783 cc{{cn|date=October 2024}}), 2.0T (1948 cc), 1.9 T4 (1855 cc, later increased to 1948 cc) or 2.0 (1948 cc) fuel injected gasoline engines. All of the gasoline engines are derivatives of the Volvo Modular series which started life in the Volvo 960 and was seen in both 5 and 6 cylinder layouts in Volvo's bigger FWD cars.

There was also a 1.8 L (1834 cc) petrol direct injection engine provided by Mitsubishi as part of the platform sharing between the 40 series and the Carisma.{{cite press release | url = http://www.mitsubishi-motors.com/en/corporate/pressrelease/corporate/detail771.html | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20220703093525/www.mitsubishi-motors.com/en/corporate/pressrelease/corporate/detail771.html | archive-date = 2022-07-03 | title = Mitsubishi Motors Supplies Hyundai Motor Co. with GDI Technology for New V8 GDI Engine | date = 1999-04-28 | publisher = Mitsubishi Motors Corporation }} The Volvo S40/V40 series was a completely new car from the ground up, only one engine – the 1.9 turbo diesel – carried over from the old 400 Series.

The low (2.0T) and high (1.9 T4) pressure turbo variants were positioned at the top of the motor range. The 2.0T was rounded down and badged as 1.9T and was the only engine available in North America. The five speed manual transmission, widely available in Europe, was not certified in North American S40s, with the five speed automatic as the only option. No electric CVT was planned, unlike the 440 HTA / High Tech Auto CVT that had been released before the 400 series was completely phased out.

In the United Kingdom, trim levels were S, XS, SE and CD. Later on, trim levels offered were supplemented with SE Lux and Sport Lux trim designations. A limited edition 'Xi' trim level was also offered for a short run on Phase 1 and Phase 1.5 cars, often painted yellow with black bezel headlamps.

The Volvo S40 was the first car to earn a four star Euro-NCAP safety rating.

First shown at the September 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show, with production commencing in October, the second generation S40 introduced a new design based on the Volvo P1 platform built at the Volvo Cars factory in Ghent, Belgium. Going on sale part way through the 2004 model year, it is sometimes known as the 2004.5 Volvo S40. 4,566 examples were built in calendar year 2003, with 16 cars having been registered in Sweden.{{cite web | url = https://www.volvoclub.org.uk/background_s40.shtml | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20240226173853/https://www.volvoclub.org.uk/background_s40.shtml | archive-date = 2024-02-26 | title = Background to the Volvo S40 GEN I | work = The Volvo Owners' Club }} A few months later, the V40 was replaced by the estate V50, also based on the P1 platform and built in Ghent.

The S40 was nominated for the World Car of the Year award for 2005, and won the Canadian Car of the Year Best New Sport Compact award for 2005. It was also elected the South African Car of the Year for 2005 by the South African Guild of Motoring Journalists.

The chassis for this car and the majority of its components were developed by Volvo, however similar mechanical components can be found in the Mazda3 and the European Ford Focus.{{Cite book|title=Consumer Reports Cars Ratings & Pricing Guide Spring 2007}} It had the latest generation of Volvo's modular five cylinder engines; the first of Volvo's smaller range to get more than four cylinders.

The inline-fives were frequently improved upon by Volvo since the engine's debut in 1991 for the 1992 model year Volvo 850. The top-of-the-line S40/V50 T5 AWD, as well as the 2.4 and 2.4i, powertrain is still made by Volvo. The transmission is developed with Getrag at Volvo's Köping Transmission Center in Sweden, and the AWD system bought from Haldex Traction of Sweden.

The S40/V50 T5 (one of the several variants) features the 2.5 L B5254T3 (later B5254T7) (2521 cc) five-cylinder fuel-injected engine with a high pressure turbocharger. The valvetrain has four valves per cylinder and is a DOHC design.

The engine is transversely mounted at the front of the vehicle and was available with the M66W (front wheel drive) or M66C (all wheel drive) drivetrains. In the United States, the manual (six speed) transmission was only available on the V50 in 2006, 2007 and 2010 and only with AWD and R-line trim.

The initial 2.0 diesel engine was the DW10, produced by PSA. A new range of engines and transmissions were introduced at the end of May 2010 (see "engine specifications" below).

There was also 1.8 L (Mazda L engine) petrol version available in the European markets.

Volvo launched an advertising campaign for the S40 titled The Mystery of Dalarö, using a documentary style video approach. The eight minute film was credited to fictitious Venezuelan film maker Carlos Soto. In fact, as was disclosed later, it was directed by Spike Jonze.

The film is set on 25 October 2003, where 32 people supposedly purchased a Volvo S40, at the same local Volvo dealership in Dalarö, a small village to the south east of Stockholm.{{cite web |language=en |url=http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/press/releases/250304.shtml |title=The Truth behind The Mystery of Dalarö |publisher=The Volvo Owners Club |date=25 March 2003 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060927142110/http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/press/releases/250304.shtml |archive-date=2006-09-27 |access-date=2013-07-05 |url-status=dead}} In addition to this film, a four minute documentary of the documentary, calling into question the validity of the events, was posted as Soto's "personal edit" on his alleged homepage.{{cite web |language=en |url=http://adland.tv/content/volvos-spoof-within-spoof-s40-mystery-dalarö|title=Volvo's spoof within a spoof for the S40- Mystery of Dalarö. |publisher=Adland.tv |date=13 February 2004 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130418172509/http://adland.tv/content/volvos-spoof-within-spoof-s40-mystery-dalar%C3%B6 |archive-date=2013-04-18 |access-date=2013-07-05 |url-status=dead}}

The S40 was the first Volvo car to be launched in China by the brand under the Changan Ford joint venture and commenced production in March 2006. Engines choices consisted of the 2.0, 2.4 and 2.5 litre petrol engines paired with either a 5 speed manual or 6 speed dual clutch gearbox.

The S40 was refreshed for April 2007. Improvements include improved audio systems, increased storage space and new safety features like emergency brake lights which flash rapidly during hard braking to alert traffic behind the car. The new S40 also comes with optional active bi xenon headlights which point the light beam in the direction of the road as it curves (standard in SE Lux models).

There was also an optional BLIS (blind spot information system) camera located on the side mirrors which alerts the driver of passing vehicles beside the car.

Volvo released the 2.0 litre diesel Powershift on the third week of February 2008, except in Ireland, where it was released in the last week of May, because of delivery intervals.

The T5 model received a new engine (the B5254T7) with a performance increase of {{convert|9|hp|abbr=on}}, giving an output of {{convert|227|hp|abbr=on}}at the crank The D5 engine became available with a manual gearbox offering {{convert|520|Nm|ftlbf|abbr=on}} of torque and an automatic transmission offering {{convert|490|Nm|ftlbf|abbr=on}} in the second half of 2007.

The model of 2009 saw rear end boot lid changes, with wider spacing of the 'Volvo' lettering and larger characters, as in the newer Volvo models.{{cite web |language=en |url=https://www.media.volvocars.com/global/enhanced/en-gb/Models/2009/S40/Model/Home.aspx |title=Volvo S40 |publisher=Volvo Car Corporation |access-date=2018-05-12 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180513011342/https://www.media.volvocars.com/global/enhanced/en-gb/models/2009/s40/model/home.aspx |archive-date=2018-05-13 }}

In 2010, the new, larger, circular Volvo logo appeared on the front grille, in the United States, a manual transmission was briefly available with the T5 AWD version. In North America, the naturally aspirated five cylinder engine, all wheel drive, and manual transmission were all dropped for the model year of 2011, leaving only the automatic, front wheel drive T5 in base and R-Design trims.{{cite press release |language=en |url=https://www.media.volvocars.com/us/enhanced/en-us/Media/Preview.aspx?mediaid=33376 |title=Volvo Cars of North America's 2011 Full Line Changes and Updates |publisher=Volvo Car Corporation |date=21 June 2010 |access-date=2018-05-12 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180624063949/https://www.media.volvocars.com/us/enhanced/en-us/media/preview.aspx?mediaid=33376 |archive-date=24 June 2018 |df=dmy-all }} The model year of 2011 was the last for the S40 in the United States and Canada.

=Engine specifications (2011)=

From the end of May 2010, a new range of engines were available for the so called "2011 model".{{cite web |language=en |url=https://www.media.volvocars.com/global/enhanced/en-gb/Media/Preview.aspx?mediaid=32512 |title=Volvo Cars 2011 upgraded engines |publisher=Volvo Car Corporation |access-date=2018-05-12 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180513081215/https://www.media.volvocars.com/global/enhanced/en-gb/media/preview.aspx?mediaid=32512 |archive-date=2018-05-13 }}

The range now included three petrol engines (1.6, 2.0 and T5, the latter only available with front-wheel drive and automatic transmission), four diesel engines (the existing DRIVe and the new D2, D3 and D4) and the 2.0F flexible-fuel engine that can run either on normal petrol or E85, an ethanol petrol mixture. Production ended in May 2012.

The updated 2.0 and T5 and the new D2, D3 and D4 are compliant with the Euro 5 emission standard (the rest are Euro 4 compliant), and the DRIVe included a start-stop system for reduced fuel consumption and emissions.{{cite web |language=de |url=http://www.volvocars.com/de/all-cars/volvo-s40/details/pages/technical-spec.aspx |title=Volvo S40 Technical Specifications |publisher=Volvo Cars Germany |url-status=dead |access-date=2010-05-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100212231424/http://www.volvocars.com/de/all-cars/volvo-s40/details/pages/technical-spec.aspx |archive-date=2010-02-12 }} New six speed gearboxes are used in the D2 (manual: B6 D2), D3 and D4 (manual: M66D, automatic: Aisin AWF21).{{cite web |language=en |url=https://www.media.volvocars.com/download/media/specialfile/32605_1_5.aspx |title=2011 Volvo S40 Technical Specifications |publisher=Volvo Car Corporation |format=XLS |url-status=dead |access-date=2010-06-13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717232409/https://www.media.volvocars.com/download/media/specialfile/32605_1_5.aspx |archive-date=2011-07-17 }}

Successor

The S40 (with it siblings V50 and C30) were discontinued in 2012. The closest replacements in Volvo's lineup at the time were the V40 (introduced in 2012), along with the existing S60 and V60. With this strategy, Volvo aimed to streamline its lineup and compete more directly with manufacturers such as BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz.

In 2016, Volvo presented the Concept 40.1 (SUV) and 40.2 (sedan) as previews of a future 40-series.{{cite web |language=en |url=https://www.media.volvocars.com/global/en-gb/media/videos/191068/volvo-cars-presents-concept-401-and-402 |title=Volvo Concept 40.1 and 40.2 |website=www.media.volvocars.com |date=18 May 2016 |access-date=2016-05-18 }} These concepts hinted at a potential successor to the S40 and V50. Reports suggested that Volvo was considering a broader 40-series lineup, including a sedan, a wagon, a hatchback, a coupe, a convertible, an SUV, and a crossover.

Ultimately, Volvo introduced three models in the compact premium segment: the XC40/EX40, the EC40, and the Polestar 2. The XC40, launched in 2017, became Volvo's primary compact model, while the fully electric EC40 followed in 2023. Meanwhile, the Polestar 2, introduced in 2020, served as a sedan-like alternative under Volvo's performance brand, Polestar. However, a direct sedan or station wagon successor to the S40 and V50 was never produced.
