Volvo built the S40 in 1996–2012. Autoknowtive’s catalog has 2 of them, from the 2004 Volvo S40 to the 2008 Volvo S40. Sold new in North America, Europe and Asia.
Power went from 179 hp in the 2004 S40 to 179 hp in the 2008 S40. It got heavier along the way: 1,422 kg for the 2004 car, 1,462 kg for the 2008. The most powerful here is the 2004 Volvo S40 at 179 hp (133 kW). Quickest from 0 to 62 mph: the 2004 Volvo S40, in 8.5 s.
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.
