The Volvo V40 T5 - GTi Ass Kicking Machine

The Volvo V40 T5 - GTi Ass Kicking Machine

Date: 2015-05-08
"T5 VEP4 MP 2.0L TURBO [180/350] 8-SPEED AUTO FWD" Now that's what I'm talking about. Bring your 169 kilowatts, the V40 will show you, see photograph attached.

Considering that the Volvo V40 T5 is providing what is quoted above, while reporting just 5,9 litres per hundred kilometres, just adds to the totally remarkable package this model represents.

Driving it is another whole story completely. I was blessed to have the V40 as mine for a whole week. Perhaps it was the fact that the Volvo V40 knocked the socks off everybody at the Euro NCAP safety testing that edged my confidence as I slid behind the wheel, I had waited for this moment for a long time.

A hundred and eighty kilowatts of power with all three hundred and fifty Newton metres of torque, at your toes, from as low as one thousand five hundred revs per minute, and if you know what I'm talking about, you're in for the ride of your life. With the power to weight ratio of undoubtedly the most stylish car in its class, in the world, The Volvo V40 T5 epitomises the sophisticated persons choice in a car.

Here is a car in which you can fulfil the sporty aspirations of your driving style, while languishing in the sublime ambiance of Swedish style and Volvo luxury. My smile just grew and grew, as the V40 T5 seemed to effortlessly glide past everybody, the handling is outstanding and with all the support from the driver assist programs and traction control, I was invincible. Safe and confident is the only way I can describe the experience in two words.

I recommend you test-drive one for your own experience; Swedocar Volvo Umhlanga has a licenced demo, and their Customer Liaison Officer, Lisa Marie Pretorius, will gladly assist you with setting one up. Call them on 031 571 2600 or visit their showroom at 6 Sunset Close, Umhlanga Ridge.
