Volvo launch V40 open week

Volvo Car Ireland is launching the Volvo V40 Cross Country (pictured above) and the V40 R Design (pictured left) at its open week from 21 - 27 January at its dealerships nationwide.

The full range of Volvo models will also be on display and available for test drives during the week. The range includes the V40, S60, V60, S80, V70, XC60, XC70, XC90.

C02 is from 94g/km with the efficient new Volvo D2 with Start/Stop technology; it sips just 3.6 L/100km (78.5mpg) through to the powerful D5 engine with 215bhp and 120g/km which falls into Band A4.

Volvo will also showcase its new focus versions for 2013 which represent considerable savings on prices.

The V40 is claimed as the safest car in its class having achieved the highest score ever recorded by EuroNCAP in recent crash tests. Safety features include the world's first pedestrian airbag and Volvo's autonomous braking system, City Safety.

The V40 R-Design is fitted as standard with the dynamic chassis and is available with the optional sports chassis.

The V40 Cross Country is aimed at those who want a small 5-door hatchback but with a more 'off-road' and rugged look.
