UPGRADE FOR VOLVO 40 SERIES CARS


Volvo has refreshed its 40 series cars, featuring updated Thor’s Hammer Matrix LED headlights, a redefined grille, and redesigned front and rear elements, writes Brian Byrne. The interior has a larger 11.2-inch screen with Google Gemini AI interaction, along with premium upholstery and decor options. 

Safety is enhanced with new advanced technologies like automatic emergency steering and braking, supported by a new software and sensor platform. 

The all-electric EX40 and EC40 models offer ranges of up to 575km and 584km, respectively. Order books have opened in Ireland, with production starting later this autumn.
