Volvo V40 Engines and Transmissions

Volvo V40 engine options span both fuel types. The 1.6 MT pairs a diesel with a manual gearbox for frugal long-distance driving, while the 1.6 T4 DSG uses a gasoline unit with a robotic dual-clutch transmission. Stronger gasoline versions such as the 2.0 AT T5 add an automatic. All drive the front wheels.

Volvo V40 Trims and Equipment

Volvo V40 trim levels sit on top of the mechanical package rather than changing it. The 1.6 T4 DSG, for example, appears as Kinetic or R-Design: the same powertrain, but different interior finishes, wheels and comfort features. When comparing listings, check the trim alongside the engine, since equipment varies widely.
